Users are notified of this when visiting our website and express their consent by continuing to browse the website.
WHAT COOKIES DO WE USE?
We use cookies to improve our services and support the correct functioning of our website. Both session and persistent cookies may be used on the website.
Without these cookies, some website features may not work or their functionality may be limited. Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies contain user settings and are therefore used to improve the user experience when using our services, or for statistical or advertising purposes. They remain stored on your device for a longer period or until you delete them manually. The length of time cookies remain on your device depends on the settings of the cookie itself and your browser settings.
WE USE SEVERAL TYPES OF COOKIES ON OUR WEBSITE:
1. ESSENTIAL COOKIES
These cookies form the basis of our website’s operation and enable the use of essential features. They include, for example, remembering login details, providing access to secure areas without requiring users to log in again, pre-filling forms and similar functions. Without them, we would not be able to provide the services that form the basis of our website. If you disable these cookies, we cannot guarantee that the website will function correctly.
2. PERFORMANCE COOKIES
Performance cookies allow us to collect statistical information about how you use our website. This technical information may tell us, for example, which parts of the website you clicked on, which page you visited most recently and similar details. These cookies help us analyse and improve our website in terms of content, performance and design. If you disable these cookies, we cannot guarantee that our website will function correctly.
3. ADVERTISING COOKIES
We may use advertising cookies on our website to display content and advertisements tailored to your interests. These cookies may collect information about your browsing habits on our website. They may also be used to recognise when you return to one of the websites within our network. This allows us to provide content and advertisements that are more relevant to you, target direct marketing communications more effectively, limit the number of times an advertisement is displayed and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
4. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
Our website contains links to and integrated content from other websites. As a result, cookies that are beyond our control may be created while you use our website. This may occur, for example, when the website uses a third-party analytics or marketing automation tool, such as tools provided by Google, or displays content from third-party websites such as YouTube or Facebook. This results in cookies being received from these third-party services, and we have no control over their storage or access to them.
