- Contact Form Data: When you use the contact form, we collect the personal information you fill in, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message.

2. Cookies and Analytics Tools
We use tracking and analytics tools to optimise your browsing experience and understand how visitors interact with our portfolio. When you visit the site, you can manage your choices via the consent banner. Data is categorized as follows:
