You decide which optional data processing to allow. Our anonymous reach measurement runs without cookies and without IP storage — we do not ask for consent for it because none is legally required.

Stores your preferences in your browser's local storage (e.g. light/dark appearance, accessibility options). Improves comfort but is not strictly required.
