What is collected
Contact-form submissions (name, email, message); anonymous analytics via Google Analytics 4 (page views, referrers, outbound-link clicks); standard server logs.
Cookies
GA4 sets analytics cookies; there are no advertising cookies. A cookie notice is shown on first visit. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, analytics stay off until you accept. Elsewhere, anonymous analytics are on by default; you can switch them off at any time with Decline in the notice or Cookie settings in the footer.
Third parties
Google (Analytics), the web host (Hostinger), and affiliate partners when you follow an outbound link.
Retention
Form emails are kept as long as useful; analytics follow Google’s default retention.
