In short
The site uses one optional tool, Google Analytics, and it stays off unless you allow it. Everything else the site needs works without tracking you. You can change your choice at any time.
What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies, such as browser storage, work the same way. They can be strictly necessary for a site to work, or optional, for example to measure how a site is used.
What we use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| silvara-consent | Strictly necessary, browser storage, first party | Remembers whether you allowed or declined analytics, so we do not ask on every visit | 12 months, then we ask again |
| _ga | Analytics, optional, Google | Distinguishes visitors so Google Analytics can count visits | Up to 2 years |
| _ga_<ID> | Analytics, optional, Google | Keeps the state of a visit for Google Analytics | Up to 2 years |
Analytics cookies are only set after you allow analytics. If you later decline, we stop analytics and remove these cookies from our domain.
Third-party content
- Google Fonts. Our typefaces are served by Google. Your browser requests them from Google, which receives your IP address. Google states that it does not set cookies for this.
- Booking calendar. If you choose to load our call booking calendar, it is provided by Google Calendar and Google's own cookies and terms apply. It only loads when you ask for it.
- WhatsApp. Links to WhatsApp only open WhatsApp when you click them.
Privacy signals
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, we treat it as a refusal of analytics and do not load Google Analytics unless you turn it on in Cookie preferences.
Changing your choice
- Use "Cookie preferences" in the footer of any page, or the button above.
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site works fully without analytics cookies.
- Google offers a browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics on all websites.
