What are cookies
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as language or login state) over a period of time. We also use other technologies that achieve a similar effect, including local storage and pixel tags; for the purposes of this policy we refer to all of them as "cookies".

Categories we use
We classify cookies into two categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies — required for the site to function: serving the analysis form, remembering your language and brand, securing the lead-capture flows against bots, storing your consent decision. These are loaded without consent because the service cannot operate without them.
- Analytics cookies — set only after you give consent through the cookie banner. They allow us to measure how the site is used and improve it. You can withdraw consent at any time from this page.
Section 3 of 8
Cookies set by us
We set the following first-party cookies:
- cihaa_consent — strictly necessary. Stores your cookie preferences (whether analytics is granted or denied). Duration: 12 months.
- cihaa_visitor — analytics. Anonymous identifier used to deduplicate views and likes on public example reports. Set only after analytics consent. Duration: 12 months.
Section 4 of 8
Third-party cookies
When you grant analytics consent we load the following third-party tools, which set their own cookies:
- Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4 — Google LLC. Cookies: _ga, _ga_<id>, _gid. Purpose: anonymous usage measurement. Duration: up to 24 months.
- Microsoft Clarity — Microsoft Corporation. Cookies: _clck, _clsk, MR, SM, ANONCHK and similar. Purpose: heatmaps and session replays for UX improvement. Duration: up to 12 months.
- Cloudflare Turnstile — Cloudflare Inc. Cookies: __cf_bm and similar. Purpose: bot protection on the analysis and lead-capture forms. Strictly necessary, set even without analytics consent because the site cannot accept submissions without bot protection. Duration: up to 30 minutes.
Section 5 of 8
Consent and Google Consent Mode v2
Before any non-essential cookie is set we initialise Google Consent Mode v2 with all consent categories denied. The consent banner shown on your first visit lets you accept all, reject non-essential, or customise the choice. Your decision is stored in the cihaa_consent cookie and is sent to our analytics tools so they can adapt their behaviour.
If you reject non-essential cookies, no Google Analytics, Clarity or marketing tag will load.

How to manage your preferences
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time:
- Use the "Manage cookies" button on this page (when available) to reopen the banner.
- Delete the cihaa_consent cookie from your browser; the banner will appear again on your next visit and you will be asked to choose.
- Configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Most modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Brave) provide controls in their privacy settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent the analysis form from working.

International transfers
Some of the third-party providers above are established outside the European Economic Area (notably in the United States). Transfers are covered by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and, where available, by adequacy decisions. See section 8 of the Privacy Policy for details.
