We use cookies
We use cookies to understand how you use our site and to improve your experience. You can choose which categories of cookies to allow.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We always use cookies that are strictly necessary to make the site work — for example to keep you logged in. In addition, with your consent, we use optional analytics cookies to understand how the platform is used. These are off by default and are only set after you actively opt in. We do not use any advertising cookies and we do not track you across other websites.
These are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled.

With your consent, we use PostHog — a product-analytics service hosted in the European Union (Frankfurt, Germany) — to understand which features are used and where the platform can be improved. PostHog assigns you a pseudonymous identifier; we never share your name or e-mail address with it, and it does not track you across other websites. These cookies are only set after you opt in via the cookie banner.
With the same consent, we may also record how the interface is used (session replay): a technical reconstruction of screen interactions that helps us find usability problems. Everything you type is masked and never recorded, payment forms are handled by our payment provider and are not part of recordings, recordings are viewed only by our team, are never exported, and are automatically deleted after a short retention period. Withdrawing your consent stops recording immediately.
ph_…_posthog
1 year
Stores a pseudonymous visitor ID and session information for usage statistics. Set only after you opt in.
Local storage
Until deleted
PostHog may store equivalent analytics information in your browser's local storage. It is cleared when you withdraw consent.
Independently of the above, we count page views on our own servers without any cookies or tracking: only the page, the referring website, the country, and the device type are recorded. Your IP address is never stored, and no profile of you is created — these statistics are fully anonymous, so no consent is required.
Analytics cookies are off by default — we only set them after you choose "Accept All" or enable analytics under "Manage Preferences" in the cookie banner. You can change your mind at any time: withdrawing consent stops analytics immediately and clears the analytics data stored in your browser. Withdrawing is as easy as consenting — just use the button below. You can also view and delete cookies through your browser settings; note that deleting the session cookie will log you out.
