Legal bases are Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures), (a) (consent, e.g. for cookies) and (f) (legitimate interest in operating the site securely and effectively).

This site uses cookies and similar technologies, grouped into three categories:

• Necessary — required for the site to operate (security, form handling, storing your preference). Active without consent.
• Statistics — Google Analytics 4 (provider: Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), with IP anonymisation and Google Consent Mode v2. Also Smartlook (provider: Smartsupp.com, s.r.o., Šumavská 524/31, 602 00 Brno, Czech Republic, EU region), which records anonymised session replays to help us improve usability.

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, port your data, and object. You can withdraw any consent at any time, with future effect.
