​

These cookies are managed by Wix infrastructure and are essential for the website to function.

​

ga* (property specific identifier) - Used to maintain session state and track interactions within a session
_gid (may be used depending on configuration) - Used to distinguish users over short periods
_gat or related throttling cookies - Used to limit request rates and manage data collection

GA4 data is:

​

• Aggregated

​

IP anonymisation and data minimisation features are applied where supported.
