Our websites use cookies.
We use cookies for functional purposes—to make using the site easier for users—and to generate anonymous website statistics. Unless you block cookies, you consent to their use and to their storage on your device. You can manage cookies yourself by adjusting your browser settings.
What are cookies?
Cookies are IT data—specifically text files—stored on users’ end devices that are intended for use with websites. These files allow the website to recognize the user’s device and display the site in a way that is tailored to their individual preferences. Cookies typically contain the name of the website they originated from, the duration of their storage on the end device, and a unique number.
What do we use cookies for?
Cookies are used to tailor website content to user preferences and to optimize the user experience. They are also used to generate anonymous statistics that help us understand how users interact with the websites, enabling us to improve their structure and content without personally identifying the user.
What types of cookies do we use?
Generally, two types of cookies are used: “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. The former are temporary files that remain on the user’s device until the user logs out of the website or closes the software (web browser). “Persistent” cookies remain on the user’s device for the duration specified in the cookie parameters or until the user manually deletes them. Cookies used by the website operator’s partners are subject to their own respective privacy policies.
Do cookies contain personal data?
Personal data collected via cookies may only be gathered for the purpose of performing specific functions for the user. Such data are encrypted in a manner that prevents unauthorized access.
