  • Cookie Consent Choice (portfolio-cookie-consent): Stores whether you have accepted or declined optional performance analytics.

3. Optional Analytics (Google Analytics 4)

With your explicit consent, this site uses optional Google Analytics (GA4) to measure website traffic and help improve content structure.

  • IP Anonymization: IP addresses are automatically truncated and anonymized before processing.
  • Consent Mode v2: Analytics scripts remain strictly disabled (denied) by default unless you click "Accept Analytics" on the cookie consent banner.
  • Cookie Control: You can re-open your privacy preferences or revoke consent at any time via the Cookie Settings button in the floating Accessibility Widget.

4. Direct Communication

If you choose to contact me via email or phone, your contact information is used strictly to respond to your inquiry and is retained only as long as necessary for professional communication.
