Cookie Policy

This website uses cookies. When you visit our website, an information exchange occurs between you and us. We collect data that your device or browser transmits to us. Also, our website sends cookies to you.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files with information, which are stored on your access device, and they intend to make your browsing experience more user friendly, more effective and safer. Without cookies, your device and browser does not have and cannot retain a memory of websites you have visited or what are your preferences – there is no reusable record of who you are and what you did or what you like.

Without this memory, we cannot log you in automatically when you visit our website, for example. Also, we cannot show you the right language settings because we do not know where you are coming from. These are some of the reasons why we use cookies – in order to let you have an uninterrupted great experience when you use the website.

What kinds of cookies exist?

A cookie can be classified by its lifespan, the domain to which it belongs and by its function. Please note that we do not use all types of cookies described in the list below.

By lifespan, a cookie is either a:

Session cookie, which is erased when the user closes the browser. They allow website operators to link your actions during a single browser session, for you to use the website most efficiently. These cookies are not usually stored beyond the browser session.
Persistent cookie, which remains on the user’s computer or mobile device for a pre-defined period of time. They enable the website to "recognise" you on your return, to remember your preferences and to tailor services to them. The may also be used to track your browsing activity across different websites and to build up a detailed profile of your browsing behaviour for targeted advertising.

‍

As for domain to which it belongs, there are either:

First-party cookies, which are planted by the web server of the visited page and share the same domain. This involves assigning a unique identity to the user by setting the cookies to either the user's browser and/or their hard drive with a view to track the user's journey on the website. First-party cookies are commonly used by website operators for session management, personalisation and recognition purposes. This means the information transmitted by the cookie is later combined with the personal information the internet user has supplied to the provider in the course of a sale or other contact. In these cases, your cookie is retrieved each time you visit the site which planted it, making it unnecessary to re-enter registration data on each visit.
Third-party cookies are cookies planted by parties other than the owner of the website you visit. (example when the webpage references a file, such as JavaScript, located outside its domain).

‍

By its function:

Essential cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of a website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of a website, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services.
Analytical/performance cookies. These types of cookies allow providers to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around their website when they are using it. They assist providers in improving the way their website works, for example, to help users find what they are looking for easily.
Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to a website. They enable the personalisation of content and the recognition of you and your preferences (for example, their choice of language or region).
Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to a website, the individual pages visited and the links followed. If the cookie is set by a third party (for example, an advertising network) which also monitors traffic on other websites, this type of cookie may also be used to track a user's movements across different websites and to create profiles of their general online behaviour. Information collected by targeting cookies is commonly used to serve users with targeted online advertising.
