5. Cookies

The Website does not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.

The Website may use strictly necessary cookies or similar technical mechanisms that are required for the secure and proper operation of the Website. These may include, for example, session cookies, security-related cookies, or tokens used to protect forms and administrative functions against unauthorized requests.

Such cookies are used solely to enable core Website functionality and security. Because they are technically necessary, they may be stored on your device without separate consent where permitted by applicable law.

You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. However, doing so may impair the functionality, security, or availability of parts of the Website.

6. Third-party links and services

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, or services, such as app stores, external content providers, or other websites not operated by us.

We are not responsible for the content, security, or data processing practices of external websites or services that are not under our control.

Where external service providers are used to host or support the Website or communications infrastructure, such providers may process personal data on our behalf as processors and only in accordance with our instructions and applicable data protection law.

If personal data is transferred to recipients outside the European Economic Area, such transfers will be carried out only where an appropriate safeguard under applicable law applies, such as an adequacy decision or appropriate contractual safeguards.

7. Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including the handling of inquiries, support communication, abuse prevention, security monitoring, and compliance with legal obligations.

Contact requests and related correspondence are generally retained for as long as necessary to process the request and for a reasonable period thereafter in order to manage follow-up questions, document communications, and protect our legitimate interests.

Technical data and server logs may be retained for a limited period where necessary for security, troubleshooting, abuse prevention, and system integrity.

Where statutory retention obligations apply, the relevant personal data may be retained for the duration required by law. After the applicable retention period expires, the data will be deleted or anonymized, unless further storage is necessary and legally permitted.
