1. The short version
This website only sets advertising cookies (from Google Ads) if you accept them in the cookie banner. If you decline, or make no choice, no tracking or advertising cookies are set and no data is sent to Google.
2. What the site uses
- Your cookie choice (strictly necessary). We store whether you accepted or declined in your browser’s local storage (key
staal_consent) for 12 months, so we don’t ask again on every page. - Google Ads (only with your consent). Provided by Google Ireland Ltd. Used to measure which of our ads lead to visits and enquiries, and to show our ads to people who have visited this site. Google sets cookies such as
_gcl_au(on this site, 90 days) and cookies on Google’s own domains. Google may process this data outside the EU under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework; see Google’s privacy policy. - Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights. Count page visits and measure loading speed without cookies and without identifying you.
- Hosting logs. Our hosting provider (Vercel) keeps standard, short-lived technical logs (IP address, request, time) for security and reliability, as virtually all hosting does.
3. Changing your choice
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time with the button above or the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of every page. Withdrawing consent stops further use and removes the Google Ads cookies set on this site.
