• To analyze website traffic: To improve our Website and user experience (Legal Basis: Your consent via our Cookie Consent banner).

4. Cookies, Google Tag Manager, and Analytics

Our Website uses a Transparency and Consent Framework (CMPv2) compliant consent banner. We do not load non-essential tracking scripts without your explicit consent.

• Google Tag Manager (GTM): We use Google Tag Manager strictly to manage and deploy website tags (code snippets) on our Website. GTM itself does not collect personally identifiable information; rather, it triggers other tags (such as Google Analytics) that may collect data.
• Traffic Analysis: If you consent to analytics cookies via our CMPv2 banner, we use analytics tools (managed via GTM) to track basic, anonymized website traffic. We do not run Google Ads, retargeting ads, or any other third-party advertising on this Website.
