Cookies and basic visitor measurement

Essential cookies support sign-in, age confirmation and basic website functions. Accepting the age gate or terms does not enable analytics.

Optional Google Analytics starts only after separate consent. We measure visits to the homepage and general information pages. Events contain only generic “public” or “information” categories and a fixed website title, never actual profile paths, search terms, account content, contact details or parameterized URLs. Analytics is not loaded on profiles, catalogues, searches or account pages. Advertising personalization and Google Signals are disabled.

Google technically receives network and device data when analytics runs and may create standard visit events, such as session starts. The _ga and _ga_* analytics cookies distinguish visits and expire within 180 days. We do not set a user ID, advertising audiences or contact-action tracking.

Your browser remembers your choice for 180 days. Change it at any time using “Cookie settings”. Refusing or withdrawing consent stops measurement and removes accessible analytics cookies; the page may reload. Basic website functions remain available.
