8. Cookies and Analytics Tools

Essential storage remembers your cookie choice and your session if you use the admin area. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity load only after you accept optional analytics:

Google Analytics — aggregate statistics about pages visited, time on site, and device type.
Microsoft Clarity — pseudonymous session insights (such as scrolling, clicking, and navigation patterns) that help us understand how visitors use the site and improve it. Clarity may set third-party cookies. You can read more in Microsoft's privacy statement.

Advertising consent is disabled for these tools. You can accept or decline analytics, then change your choice using Cookie settings in the footer. Declining does not prevent you from browsing, contacting us, or applying for a vacancy. Withdrawing consent clears our first-party analytics cookies and refreshes the page to stop the running tools.
