1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can be set by the website owner (“first‑party cookies”) or by third parties (“third‑party cookies”). Pixels, tags and similar technologies work in a similar way and are included in this policy.

2. How we use cookies

Our website itself does not set cookies for analytics, advertising, or personalization.

We only load cookies when you interact with embedded content from third parties:
- YouTube videos (Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC)
- Google Maps (Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC)

These services may set cookies to enable playback, measure performance, combat fraud/abuse, and personalize content (including ads on Google services). Because these are non‑essential third‑party cookies, we only load them after your consent, except where we use “privacy‑enhanced” options that reduce or defer cookie placement.

3. Your consent choices

On your first visit, we present a cookie choice. You can:
- Accept all third‑party cookies (YouTube, Google Maps)
- Reject non‑essential cookies (we will block embeds until you choose to enable them)
- Customize per service (e.g., allow Maps but not YouTube)

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via:
Manage cookie settings

Note: If you refuse consent, you may see placeholders instead of the embedded video or map. You’ll have the option to click “Enable” to load a specific embed.

4. Cookies you may encounter

The exact cookies and retention periods may change as YouTube/Google update their services. Typical examples include:

YouTubeVISITOR_INFO1_LIVEThird‑partyEstimate bandwidth / improve playback; may support personalization~6 months (varies)

Google (Maps)NID, SID, HSID, SAPISID, APISID, SSIDThird‑partySecurity, fraud prevention, preferences, and sometimes ad personalization across Google servicesFrom session to up to 2 years (varies)

Important: These cookies are set by Google/YouTube. For the most accurate and current list, please consult Google’s own documentation and your browser’s developer tools.

5. Legal basis

For YouTube and Google Maps cookies that are not strictly necessary, we rely on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and applicable ePrivacy rules).
If an embed uses settings that avoid cookies until you interact (e.g., Privacy‑Enhanced Mode), cookies will be set only when you choose to play a video or load the map.

6. International data transfers

When using YouTube and Google Maps, your personal data may be processed by Google LLC in the United States or other countries outside the EEA. Google uses appropriate safeguards as described in its policies (e.g., EU Standard Contractual Clauses). For details, see Google’s privacy documentation linked below.

7. Managing cookies in your browser

You can block or delete cookies via your browser settings. Doing so may affect embedded content functionality. For instructions, see your browser’s help pages (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari).
