6. Instagram
Our website contains an embedded Instagram feed provided by Instagram / Meta Platforms Ireland Limited. The embedded Instagram content may involve the transmission of technical information, such as your IP address and information about your interaction with the embedded content, to Meta. Where required, the Instagram content and associated technologies will only be loaded after the necessary consent has been provided through our cookie consent mechanism. Instagram/Meta may process personal data in accordance with its own privacy policies.
7. Cookies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies are small files or other technologies that are stored on or accessed from your device when you visit a website.
We distinguish between:
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the basic operation, security and functionality of our website. They may be used without consent where they are technically necessary to provide a service that you have requested.
Non-essential cookies
Non-essential cookies may be used for purposes such as preferences, functionality or third-party content.
These cookies are only activated where legally required after you have given your consent.
We do not use Google Analytics on this website.
Because our website is operated through Wix and contains third-party functionality such as the Instagram feed, additional cookies or similar technologies may be used by these services.
Wix explains that websites built on its platform may contain additional cookies depending on the components, integrations and third-party services used.
You can manage your cookie preferences through the cookie settings available on our website.
You may withdraw or change your consent at any time.

Depending on the circumstances, we process personal data on the following legal bases:

-
Article 6(1)(c) GDPR – compliance with a legal obligation;
