Our anonymous reach measurement runs without cookies and without IP storage, including campaign parameters in links – we do not ask for consent for it because none is legally required.
Strictly required: language preference, core site functions and storing your cookie choice. Without these the site does not work. Settings you choose yourself (light/dark appearance, accessibility) are kept in your browser's local storage only once you choose them; "Reset" in the accessibility settings removes them.
