What are cookies?

Why do we use cookies?
Our website uses cookies for the purpose of distinguishing you from other users of our website by storing, generally non-personally identifiable, information (for example, session information such as the number of times you visit our website and the location from which you are accessing the website).
Cookies also help us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and allows us to improve our website. This includes more efficient navigation between pages, remembering your preferences and general improvement of the user experience.

What types of cookies do we use?
We use both first party cookies, which are issued from our website’s own domain, and third-party cookies, which belong to and are managed by other parties, such as our partners or service providers.
The cookies used on our website can be divided into two categories:
- Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that will be deleted from your device once you close your browser. They are used to remember your device as you move within our website.
- Persistent cookies: These are longer-lasting cookies that remain on your device even after you close your browser. They are used to recognize your device each time you use our website and to remember your preferences.
Further, each category of cookies can be divided into four types:
- Essential or Necessary cookies: These cookies are essential or necessary to ensure that a website works properly and is secure so that you can navigate a website and use its features. Without these cookies, certain features of a website would not function, and thus you would not be able to use certain services.
- Functional cookies: These cookies allow a website to remember the options a user has made (including user IDs stored, consents given, or languages selected) and other personalization options you have selected when browsing.
- Analysis and performance cookies: These are used to monitor and improve the function and service of a website. Those can track down problems when using a website, facilitate online surveys, record visitor numbers, and provide analytics metrics.
- Advertising cookies or targeting cookies: They are used to deliver customized advertising to the user. This can be very convenient, but also very irritating.
