Cookie policy
Short version: only what the site needs, plus YouTube if you say yes. No ads, no tracking.
The login cookies below are set only when you log in.

| mad_consent | [MAD] | Remembers your cookie choice | 12 months |

| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE, YSC, yt-remote-* | Google (YouTube) | Plays embedded videos. Google can use this data for its own purposes. | Session to 6 months |
Even the "privacy-enhanced" YouTube player stores data and sends your IP address to Google once it loads. That is why the video stays blocked until you press play and agree.
Statistics
We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics. Its script loads from static.cloudflareinsights.com and reports to cloudflareinsights.com. It sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device, so it needs no consent. It sends the page address, the page you came from, your browser type and how fast the page loaded. Cloudflare does not use your IP address or a fingerprint to follow you, and we only see totals, never single visitors.
Your choice
"Reject all" and "Accept all" carry equal weight. Rejecting changes nothing about what you can do here, except that videos open on YouTube instead. You can change your mind at any time with "Cookie settings" in the footer. We ask again after 12 months or when this policy changes, and keep a record of your choice (date, version, choice) as proof.
