4. Categories of Cookies
4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the website to function or to provide a feature requested by you. They may support security, network management, form submission, session management and cookie preferences.
Because the website cannot operate properly without them, strictly necessary cookies are generally enabled by default.
4.2 Preference Cookies
Preference cookies remember choices such as language, region, display settings or other customisation. Where required by law, they are used only after you consent.
4.3 Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors find and use the website, which pages are visited and whether technical errors occur.
Analytics cookies will not be activated before consent where prior consent is legally required.
4.4 Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used to measure campaigns, build advertising audiences or display more relevant advertising across websites.
We will use marketing cookies only after obtaining the required consent.
4.5 Third-Party Content Cookies
Embedded services such as maps, videos, social-media features, chat services or external booking tools may set their own cookies.
Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, the relevant third-party service should remain blocked until you provide consent.
5. Cookies Currently Used
The exact cookies used may change as website features are added or removed. The cookie-consent platform should display the current list of detected cookies.

6. Legal Basis
Strictly necessary technologies may be used where required to provide the website or a feature requested by you, to maintain security or under another applicable lawful processing condition.
Optional cookies, including analytics and marketing cookies, are used on the basis of consent where required by law.
7. Your Cookie Choices
When you first visit the website, the cookie banner should provide clear options to:
- Accept all optional cookies
- Reject optional cookies
- Select individual cookie categories
- Continue using strictly necessary cookies only
Your decision should not affect access to basic website content, although rejecting optional cookies may prevent certain third-party features from loading.
8. Changing or Withdrawing Consent
You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time by selecting the Cookie Settings link displayed in the website footer or cookie banner.
Withdrawal will not affect processing carried out lawfully before consent was withdrawn.
After changing your preferences, you may also need to remove previously stored cookies through your browser settings.
9. Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies. The process varies by browser and device. Blocking all cookies may affect website functionality.
You should consult your browser’s official help documentation for current instructions.
10. Google Maps, Videos and Other Embedded Content
If we use Google Maps, video platforms, social-media tools or comparable external services, these providers may receive technical information and set cookies.
Where consent is required, embedded content should remain disabled until the visitor accepts the relevant category.
11. Analytics
If analytics tools are activated, we will configure them to reduce unnecessary data collection where reasonably possible. Analytics tools will be loaded only according to the consent settings and applicable legal requirements.
The selected provider, cookie names, retention periods and international transfer information will be listed in the cookie-consent tool or in the table above.
12. International Processing
Some technology providers may process data outside your country or outside the European Economic Area. Where required, appropriate transfer safeguards will be used and further information will be provided in our Privacy Policy or the relevant provider information.
13. Cookie Retention
Session cookies normally expire when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies remain for a stated period or until deleted.
Cookie duration depends on the purpose and provider and will be displayed in the cookie declaration generated after the site scan.
