What Information You Can Find in This Policy

Our Use of Cookies

Every browser that visits our website receives cookies from us. Unless the cookies we use are strictly necessary for the provision of the website, we will ask for your consent to the use of cookies when you first visit our website. We use cookies on our website because we want to provide our users with the best possible experience. Information provided through cookies enables us to optimize your experience on our site. Cookies normally do not contain information that can personally identify a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. You can learn more about which personal data is processed in relation to our users in our Privacy Policy.

About Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by websites you visit. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a certain period of time, such as login details, language, font size, and other display preferences, so you don't have to re-enter them every time you return to the website or browse from one page to another. The use of cookies helps you navigate efficiently between pages, remembers your settings, and improves your browsing experience in other ways. Cookies can also help ensure that the marketing you see online is more relevant to you and your interests. Other technologies, including data that we store on your web browser or device, identifiers associated with your device, and other software, are used for similar purposes. In this policy, we refer to all of these technologies as "cookies." Cookies can be classified according to their lifespan, the domain to which they belong, and their storage location.

By Lifespan:

Session cookies are deleted when the user closes the browser. Session cookies last only as long as the session, typically the current visit to a website or a browsing session. Persistent cookies remain on the user's computer or device for a predefined period unless deleted by the user before the expiration date. Persistent cookies help us recognize you, making it easier to return to our website or interact with our service without having to log in again or change settings each time. After you log in, a persistent cookie remains in your browser and is read again when you return to our website.

By Domain:

First-party cookies are set by the web server of the site being visited and belong to the same domain. Third-party cookies are stored in a different domain than the site being visited. This can happen when the website references a file such as JavaScript that is located outside its domain.

By Storage Location:

Browser cookies are sent by a website and stored in the user's browser. Browser cookies store less data than Flash cookies, and only the browser in which the cookies are stored can access them. Flash cookies are locally shared objects that differ from browser cookies in terms of the amount, type, and manner in which data is stored. They are stored outside the browser and can be accessed by multiple browsers on the same computer. To learn more about cookies, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

What Cookies Do We Use and Why?

They help make the website usable by enabling basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. This type of cookie can be used to protect and accelerate our website by automatically optimizing the delivery of our content. This ensures you get the fastest possible page load time and the best performance. Essential cookies can also be used for security reasons and to identify our trusted visitors.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help website operators understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use various analytics cookies to analyze information about how our website is used. Analytics cookies may process information about the number of website visitors, where website visitors came from, the pages they visited, scroll activities, downloads, user agent information, time spent on the website, or the approximate geographic location of a device you use to access our website. We use this information to generate reports that help us improve the website. Reports can be presented visually through heat maps and anonymized screen recordings.

However, please note that we may use analytics cookies provided by other companies that we may also use for analysis purposes.

These cookies serve to personalize communication with you. If you accept to receive advertising material, marketing cookies help us evaluate your personal preferences for certain content, which we further use to deliver advertising material that matches your preferences.

Third-Party Cookies

Third parties may set cookies when you visit our website. Sometimes this is because we have commissioned the third party to provide services for us. In other cases, this is because our websites contain advertisements from third parties or content such as videos and news. As your browser connects to the web servers of these third parties to retrieve such content, third parties can set or read their own cookies on your device and can collect information about your online activities on websites or with online services.
