Two things are optional here, analytics and advertising measurement, and neither one loads until you allow it. Nothing on this page is sold to anyone.
When you arrive for the first time, this site runs no analytics and no advertising script. A bar appears at the bottom of the page asking what you allow. Until you answer, or if you answer no, none of those scripts is downloaded at all — they are not merely silenced, they never reach your browser.
Rejecting takes exactly one click, the same as accepting, and refusing changes nothing about what you can read or do here.
A small record of your own choice about the bar above, kept in your browser so that we do not ask again on every page. It contains nothing but your answer and the date you gave it. Cloudflare, which serves this site, applies its own security protections. These are necessary for the site to work and to stay up, and under the ePrivacy rules they do not require consent.
Google Analytics 4. Which pages are read, for how long, and roughly where in the world from. Google Analytics 4 does not record your IP address at all — it is used to derive an approximate location and then discarded, which is its default behaviour and not a setting we could turn off even if we wanted to. It tells us what to write more of. It does not tell us who you are. It does this with cookies (_ga and _ga_…) that recognise the same browser when it comes back, kept for up to two years: that is why it stays off until you allow it.
Meta pixel. If you reached us from an advert on Facebook or Instagram, this tells Meta that the advert worked, and lets Meta show our adverts to people who resemble the ones who found us useful. This one genuinely does follow you beyond this site, which is why it is off by default and why it is listed separately from analytics rather than lumped in with it.
Typefaces are served from this site. The exception is the article pages and some event pages, which load one typeface (Lora) from Google Fonts: Google receives that request, including your IP address, though no cookie is set by it. On some event pages, the city suggestions in the registration form send the letters you type to Photon (komoot GmbH, Germany).
Forms on this site post to our own systems (our CRM, hosted by Vercel). If you follow a link to one of our social accounts, whatever that platform does once you arrive is governed by their policy, not ours.
Click , at the foot of every page, and choose again. A consent you cannot withdraw as easily as you gave it is not a consent, so the link is always there and never buried.
Write to info@osminternational.com and a person will answer.
