4. Managing Cookie Preferences
When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie banner appears, giving you three choices:

- Reject all non‐essential cookies (only strictly necessary cookies are set)
- Customize cookie settings by category (enable/disable analytics)
You can modify or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of every page. Doing so will reopen the same banner and allow you to adjust which categories of cookies you accept.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies—specifically the Matomo analytics cookies—are set by our own Matomo server (e.g., matomo.bio-nordic.com). Matomo is a third-party analytics platform, but it is strictly under our control; no personal data is shared externally. We will only allow any other third-party cookies (e.g., advertising platforms) after obtaining your explicit consent.
