Cookie Policy
Last updated: November 6, 2026
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use local storage and session storage, which work in a similar way. Under the EU ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR, we need your freely given, specific and informed consent before storing anything on your device that is not strictly necessary. We ask for that consent the first time you visit, and your choice is recorded with its date.
2. Your choices
The banner on the site offers the same options on every visit: accept all cookies, accept only the strictly necessary ones, or choose category by category. Analytics stays switched off unless you turn it on, and you can open the detail view at any time to choose category by category. Your choice is stored for 12 months, after which we ask again. You can change or withdraw it whenever you like, and withdrawing consent does not affect processing that happened before you withdrew it.
3. Cookies we use
This is the complete list of cookies and browser storage items the site can set, grouped by category. If you allow strictly necessary cookies only, nothing in the analytics category is ever stored.
Strictly necessaryAlways on
Required for the site to work: remembering your cookie choice and keeping you signed in where an account is needed. These are always on and never used for tracking.
| Name | Purpose | Set by | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| av_consent_v2Local storage | Stores your cookie choice and the date you made it, so we do not ask on every visit. | after-view | 12 months |
| base44_access_token, base44_authLocal storage | Keeps you signed in if you access a private or account area of the site. | Base44 (platform) | Until you sign out or clear browser data |
| app-mfa-pkce:<app id>Session storage | Temporary security record used while you complete two-step sign-in. Deleted once sign-in finishes. | after-view | End of browser session |
AnalyticsOnly with your consent
Tells us which pages and articles are read and which forms are used, so we can improve the site. Nothing is set here unless you accept.
| Name | Purpose | Set by | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| base44_analytics_session_idLocal storage | Anonymous visit identifier so a page view, blog read or form submission is counted once instead of twice. No name, email or IP history is stored with it. | after-view via Base44 analytics | Until you withdraw consent or clear browser data |
| base44_analytics_deniedLocal storage | Remembers that you declined analytics so measurement does not restart when you open another page. | after-view via Base44 analytics | Until you change your choice |
We do not run advertising, remarketing or social media pixels, and we do not sell or share cookie data with third parties.
4. Strictly necessary cookies
These keep the site working and remember the choice you made in the banner. They cannot be switched off because the site cannot run without them, and under the ePrivacy Directive they do not require consent. They are never used to build a profile of you.
5. Analytics cookies
When you accept, we record page views, blog post reads and lead form submissions so we can see which content is useful and improve the site. The data is aggregated, tied to a random visit identifier rather than to your identity, and never used for advertising. If you keep analytics off or withdraw consent later, the visiting identifier is deleted and no further events are sent.
6. Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies and site storage in your browser's privacy settings. Clearing site data removes your saved choice, so the banner will ask again on your next visit. Blocking strictly necessary storage may stop parts of the site, such as sign-in, from working.
