Cookie Statement

Necessary cookies

We use cookies and local storage only for functions you have asked for: keeping you signed in, keeping your session secure, and remembering interface choices such as an open menu. These are required for the site to work and cannot be switched off. Analytics is optional and described below.

What we do not use

We use advertising cookies (Meta Pixel) only after you choose “Accept cookies”; we never use advanced matching or send your email address to Meta. We do not sell data to advertisers.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 and the Meta Pixel only after you choose “Accept cookies” in the consent banner; “Essential only” refuses both. Until then, no measurement script loads and Google consent signals stay denied; advertising signals are always denied. If you accept, Google sets the first-party cookies _ga and _ga_<id> (up to 2 years) to count visits on public pages. Account, payment, sign-in and unsubscribe pages are never measured, and addresses, tokens and payment identifiers are removed from measured URLs. We store your choice in local storage (wstb_analytics_consent). You can withdraw or change it at any time via Cookie settings in the footer; withdrawing stops measurement and deletes the _ga cookies. With that same choice Meta's script loads and set the _fbp cookie (up to 90 days) to record page views on public pages, without advanced matching, automatic events or form data. Withdrawing also stops the pixel and deletes _fbp/_fbc. Refusing never limits your access.

Managing cookies

With the same acceptance, we send Meta a Lead event only after a fresh email confirmation, for conversion measurement and ad optimization. Only an opaque event identifier is added; no email, token, market, stock or value is sent. A short-lived one-use handoff in session storage prevents repeat conversion reporting. Refusal or withdrawal discards a waiting conversion, which is not replayed after later acceptance. Change your choice through Cookie settings in the footer.

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the necessary cookies means you cannot stay signed in.

Language preference

If you choose a language with the language selector, we store that choice in a first-party cookie named wstb_locale so the site opens in your language next time. It contains only the language code, is necessary for the function you asked for, and is never used for tracking.
