3. Categories of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings. They do not require consent under GDPR because they are necessary to provide a service you have explicitly requested.

• Session management: Maintains basic session state during your visit. Retention: Session duration (deleted when browser closes).
• Security cookies: Help detect and prevent fraudulent activity and protect against cross-site request forgery. Retention: Session to 24 hours.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, which pages are most visited, and where users encounter difficulties. These cookies are only placed after you provide consent through our cookie banner or cookie settings panel.

• Page view tracking: Records pages visited, time on page, and navigation sequences. Used to improve content organization and user experience.
• Traffic source analysis: Identifies how visitors arrived at our site (direct, search engine, referral link). Helps us evaluate the effectiveness of informational outreach.
• Device and browser analytics: Collects anonymized data about device type, screen size, and browser version to ensure responsive design compatibility.

Retention period for analytics cookies: up to 14 months. Data is aggregated and does not identify individual users when reported internally.

3.3 Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies track your activity across websites to deliver relevant content and measure the performance of informational campaigns. These cookies require your explicit consent and are never activated by default.

• Campaign attribution: Identifies which educational content or outreach efforts led you to our website.
• Remarketing pixels: May be used to show relevant informational content on third-party platforms if you have previously visited our site and consented to marketing cookies.

Retention period for marketing cookies: up to 12 months, unless you withdraw consent earlier.

4. Legal Basis for Cookie Use

Under the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive:

• Strictly necessary cookies are used based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional, secure website.
• Analytics and marketing cookies are used only with your consent, which you provide through the cookie banner or settings panel.
• You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your cookie settings or clearing cookies through your browser.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are placed by third-party services we use to enhance functionality and analyze performance. These third parties process data according to their own privacy policies:

• Analytics providers: May set cookies to collect usage statistics when you consent to analytics cookies.
• Content delivery networks: May use cookies to optimize asset delivery and reduce page load times.
• Icon and font services: External stylesheets loaded from content delivery networks may set technical cookies for caching purposes.

We review third-party cookie practices regularly and limit integrations to providers that offer adequate data protection safeguards.
