The website may embed or link external media content, including videos from YouTube.

Episodes and video content may be embedded using YouTube's privacy-enhanced domain:

youtube-nocookie.com

This mode is designed to reduce tracking before playback compared with standard YouTube embeds. However, when you choose to load or play YouTube content, Google and YouTube may still process information such as:

• device information;
• IP address;
• browser information;
• network information;
• video interaction data;
• playback information.

YouTube embedded content is loaded only after consent where required.

If you do not consent to external media, YouTube videos may not load directly on the website. You may still access YouTube through external links where available.

At this stage, the website does not intentionally use advertising or marketing cookies for behavioral advertising through the contact form.

If advertising pixels, remarketing tools or campaign measurement technologies are added in the future, this Cookie Policy will be updated and such technologies will be activated only according to your consent choices where required.

When you visit the website, you can choose whether to:

• accept all optional cookies and services;
• reject optional cookies and services;
• customize your preferences by category.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by using the Cookie Settings link available on the website.

Rejecting optional cookies does not prevent the website from working, but some features, such as embedded YouTube videos or analytics-based improvements, may be limited or unavailable.

For further information about third-party services used or potentially used on this website, you may review the privacy and cookie information provided by:

• Google Analytics;

Third-party providers may update their technologies, cookies, names and retention periods over time. We aim to keep this Cookie Policy reasonably updated, but users should also consult the providers' own documentation.

This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time, especially if new services, cookies or tracking technologies are added to the website.

Any changes will be published on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
