4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

This website uses the following tools and technologies:

Conversion Linker: Stores Google Ads click information in a first-party cookie to ensure accurate conversion attribution.

When required, a consent banner explains cookie use and allows you to manage your preferences. Your selections are respected through Google Consent Mode, which ensures that Google Ads and other tags remain inactive until consent is granted.
