8. Legal basis for cookie processing

Where required by law (for example under the GDPR), we rely on your consent to place non-essential cookies.

9. Data sharing and third parties

Cookies may share information with third-party service providers who process data on our behalf (analytics, hosting, payments, advertising). We only share data with third parties that meet our security and privacy standards, and we require them to process data in accordance with applicable law.

For details on third-party services we use and links to their privacy policies, see the “example cookie list” (update it to include the exact vendors you use).

10. International transfers

If cookie data is transferred outside your country (for example to cloud providers or analytics vendors based elsewhere), we use appropriate safeguards (standard contractual clauses, data processing agreements) to ensure an adequate level of protection.

11. Retention

Cookies have different retention periods. Session cookies are removed when you close the browser; persistent cookies remain for the period specified in each cookie’s description. We (and our service providers) will retain any personal data derived from cookies only as long as necessary for the stated purpose and in accordance with applicable law.
