What are cookies?

A cookie is a text file stored on your computer, mobile device, or tablet when you visit a website. We use the following types of cookies on our website: Session cookies, Persistent cookies, and Web beacons. These can be cookies that we use and/or third parties use.

Session cookies are stored during an active session, meaning the period you use the website. Session cookies are typically deleted when you close the browser. We use this type of cookie to track your actions on our website.

Persistent cookies are stored on your device until the specified expiration date for each cookie, or until you manually delete the cookie from the device. The cookie will be activated each time you visit a website that created that specific persistent cookie. A persistent cookie allows remembering your preferences or actions on a website (or across different websites.)

Web beacons are transparent images that can be included in emails or on our website, allowing us to see what our visitors click on.

Third-party cookies are cookies saved on your device from a website other than ours.

 

Why and how do we use cookies?

We use cookies for several purposes. We use cookies to improve the services we offer you. Some of our services actually require cookies to function, while others simply exist to make our services smoother for you. In general, we categorize our cookies and their usage as follows:

 

Essential

These cookies do not collect any information for marketing or similar purposes.

Functionality cookies are used to facilitate your use of our website. Functionality cookies enable the website to remember the choices you make, such as language, what you filled in a form, etc., so that you do not have to make those choices every time you visit our website.

 

Analytics

These cookies may, for example, show which are the most visited pages, help document problems with a website, and indicate whether advertising on a website has been effective or not.

 

Marketing

Marketing cookies are used to deliver ads that are relevant to you and your interests, or to limit the number of times you see the same ad on a website. These cookies may also be used to remember what you have looked at when visiting our website. We use this information to provide you with personalized content recommendations and for marketing communication. We may combine the information collected by these cookies with other information you have provided us.

Third-party advertisers may also use this information to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns. We do not have access to or control over cookies placed on our website by third parties, and the use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of each of our third parties.
