In short
- We use cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to work.

What cookies are
A cookie is a small file made up of letters and numbers, stored on the computer, phone or other device you use to access the internet. It is installed when a web server sends a request to your browser and it is “passive”: it contains no programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access other information on your device.
A cookie has two parts (a name and a value) and a set lifetime. Session cookies disappear when you close the browser; persistent cookies remain until they expire or until you delete them.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (provided by Google Ireland Limited) to see, in aggregate, how many people visit the website, which pages they read and where they come from. It helps us know which information is useful and what needs to be improved. We do not use this data for advertising and we do not combine it with other data about you.
Google Analytics is loaded only after you click “Accept” in the cookie banner or turn on “Statistics” in “Cookie settings”. If you withdraw your consent, the _ga cookies are deleted. Data may be transferred outside the European Union, with the safeguards provided by Google. Google Privacy Policy.
The website does not set any other cookies of its own. You can check at any time what is stored from your browser’s settings.
Third-party content and services
Some features load content from other companies. They may set their own cookies, according to their policies, when you use the feature in question:
- YouTube (Google): videos are loaded through the
youtube-nocookie.comdomain, in privacy-enhanced mode, and only after you press “Play”. Preview images are loaded fromi.ytimg.com. Google Privacy Policy. - Stripe: when you donate by card, you are taken to Stripe’s secure payment page, which uses its own cookies for security and fraud prevention. We do not see or store your card details. Stripe Privacy Policy.
- Facebook and WhatsApp: these are only links to those services; nothing is loaded from them unless you click the link.
How to control cookies
You can change your choice at any time from the heart button in the corner of the page, under “Cookie settings”. All modern browsers also let you view, block or delete cookies, usually under “Settings” → “Privacy”. Official guides:
If you block all cookies, the website will still work, but you will see the notice again on every visit, and videos or payments may not work.
Cookies are not viruses
Cookies use simple text formats and cannot run on their own or replicate. They can, however, be used for tracking by other operators; that is why we do not use advertising cookies, and we only turn on statistics cookies with your consent.
Changes
If we add other services that use cookies in the future, we will update this page and ask for your consent before turning them on.
