Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device while browsing websites. Browser local storage serves a similar function — we use it to remember your consent choice.

2. Which cookies we use

We use three categories:

• Essential — storing your consent settings (localStorage, key “vdv-consent-v1”, kept until deleted). Without it the site cannot remember your choice.
• Analytics (Google Analytics 4): “_ga” (2 years), “_ga_*” (2 years) — anonymous visit statistics. Set only after you consent.
• Marketing (Google Ads): Google conversion and remarketing cookies — set only after you consent.

3. Consent and withdrawal

On your first visit we show a banner where you can accept all cookies, reject optional ones, or choose categories. No analytics or marketing cookies are set before you consent.

You can change or withdraw consent at any time via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before it.

4. Managing cookies in your browser

You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect how the site works.
