What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember settings, keep you signed in where applicable, and—only if you agree—support measurement and improvement of how the site is used.

This policy explains which cookies this portfolio site may use and how you can control them.

Types of cookies we distinguish

• Strictly necessary — Required for basic functions such as security, load balancing, storing your cookie choices, and remembering your language or UI preferences when we provide those features.
• Preferences — Used to remember choices you make (for example language or display options) so you do not have to set them again on each visit.
• Analytics (optional) — Helps us understand visits and usage patterns—only loaded if you choose “Accept all”. If you reject optional cookies, we do not enable analytics for your browser. When enabled, we may also store a persistent visitor identifier, campaign parameters from links (UTM), and how long you stay on a page.

What we use on this site

Essential operation includes storing your consent state (for example in local storage) so we do not show the cookie banner on every page load after you decide. If you accept optional analytics, the site may log page views on the server (path, time, IP address, estimated location from IP, browser and device details, referrer, campaign tags, session identifiers, and time on page) to understand how the site is used.

Messages you send through the contact form are stored on our server so we can read and respond to them in our admin panel; that storage is separate from optional analytics and does not require analytics consent.

We do not use cookies to sell your data. Third-party content you open in a new tab (for example social networks) is governed by those services’ own policies.

Change your choice

You can reopen the cookie preferences at any time and switch between accepting only necessary cookies or accepting optional analytics as well.

Browser settings

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of the site work.
