When you fill in the form on our contact page, we process your first name, last name, email address, phone number, subject, message content, and any file you attach to the form (e.g. a project document).

Security and bot protection

To prevent forms from being abused by automated software (bots), we use the Cloudflare Turnstile service; as part of this, your IP address and technical data about your browser are evaluated by Cloudflare.

Cookies

We do not use advertising/analytics cookies for visitors to our website. Only a necessary, technical session cookie is used, solely so that authorized staff signed in to the /backoffice management panel can maintain their session.
