Different types of cookies
- Essential cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic features such as page navigation.
- Performance and functionality cookies
These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Website but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality (like videos) may become unavailable. These cookies enhance your experience for example by remembering your preferences (e.g., language, region) and providing personalised features. We also use these cookies to collect anonymous data about how visitors use our website. This helps us improve site performance and optimise content.
- Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies, also known as analytical or performance cookies, are small pieces of data stored on a user’s device. They track and analyse how visitors interact with our Website. This information helps us understand user behaviour, preferences, and overall site performance.
- Advertising cookies
These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests. These cookies track your browsing habits and allow us to show you relevant ads.
Your choice
Before using any cookies (except Essential cookies), we obtain your consent. You can manage your cookie preferences through our Cookie Consent Manager or browser settings.

Use of external tools on our website
- Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the gathering, collection and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data on which website a data subject has come to a website from (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for which period of time a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website.
Google Analytics uses cookies. You can prevent the storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the features of this website to the fullest extent possible. In addition, you may prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
Our website also uses Google Analytics performance reports relating to demographics and interests.
Further information and Google‘s applicable privacy regulations can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/
What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or ”clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
How often will you update this Cookie Notice?
We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Where we make significant changes, for example, if we implement new cookies that are not “Essential”, we will let you know so you have the opportunity to manage your preferences. Please revisit this Cookie Notice regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
