Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work correctly and remember your choices. Some cookies are essential; others (like analytics) are optional and need your consent.

2. Cookies we use today

Right now, this website uses only essential cookies set by the Laravel framework — for example, the session cookie that keeps forms working and the security cookie that protects you against cross-site request forgery. These are strictly necessary for the website to function and do not require your consent.

We do not currently use any analytics, advertising or third-party tracking cookies.

3. Analytics — planned for the future

We plan to add Google Analytics later to understand how visitors use the website. When we do:

• It will be off by default.
• It will only load after you give consent through our cookie banner.
• You can withdraw that consent at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer.

4. Your choices

• Cookie banner: on your first visit you can accept or reject optional cookies. Your choice is remembered for one year.
• Change your mind: click "Cookie Settings" in the website footer at any time to re-open the banner and update your choice.
• Browser controls: every major browser lets you block or delete cookies in its settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may break parts of the website (such as forms).

5. Changes to this policy

When we introduce new categories of cookies (such as analytics), we will update this policy and ask for your consent again through the banner.
