Contract Performance (Article 6(1)(b))

The contact page embeds a Google Maps frame loaded from maps.google.com. Google may set cookies and collect technical data when you interact with this embed. This is governed by Google's own Privacy Policy. The embed uses the no-referrer-when-downgrade referrer policy and loading="lazy" to limit data exposure.
