Controlling Your Cookie Preferences
What are cookies?
Cookies are usually pieces of information or code that a website transfers to or accesses from your computer or device to store, and sometimes track, information about you.
Cookies let websites remember you and your preferences, manage different features and content, store searches, and personalise content.
(1) Explaining the Cookies We Use
There are two categories of cookies:
- Technically necessary (essential) cookies, ensuring basic website functions
- Technically non-essential cookies, supporting website performance
Some web pages use cookies, which are small text files stored on your computer by your browser. These files do not harm your computer or contain viruses, and they enhance website
usability, effectiveness, and security.
Most cookies used are "session cookies", automatically deleted after your visit. Others remain on your device until manually deleted. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser
on subsequent visits.
You can adjust your browser settings to manage cookie acceptance, including allowing cookies only in specific cases or disabling them entirely. Browser-specific information can be found
at the provided links.
Disabling cookies may limit website functionality. For more detailed information on cookies and their usage on this website, please consult our Cookie Consent Tool accessible via the
Privacy Policy.
Use of Technically Necessary (Essential) Cookies
We use cookies necessary for providing expressly requested services by the user, storing the following data:
- Consent management
- Current language selection
Technical service providers assist in website operation and maintenance, acting as our processors. Storage duration details are available in our Cookie settings.
Providing this personal data is neither legally nor contractually required but essential for website service and functionality.
Use of Technically Non-essential Cookies
We also utilize cookies analyzing user browsing behavior to enhance website efficiency and appeal. The legal basis for processing is your consent.
Technical service providers assist in website operation and maintenance as our processors. Further details on recipients and cookie functionality/storage duration are available in our
Cookie settings.
Providing your data is voluntary, based on your consent. However, full website functionality may not be available without it. Consent can be revoked at any time through the Cookie
settings.
(2) Connections to External Non-Company Websites
Opting Out of Behavioral Advertising: To avoid targeted advertisements based on your online behavior, you can visit websites such as Your Online Choices and turn off behavioral
advertising from various companies.
(3) Complementary Tracking Methods
Third-Party Social Media Tools on Our Sites
Our websites are equipped with social buttons provided by third-party social networks to enhance sharing capabilities. By using these tools, you can share or bookmark web pages easily.
Check the individual privacy policies of these third-party sites to understand their data usage practices and learn how you can manage your preferences.
(4) Service Limitations Without Cookie Acceptance

(5) Supplementary Information
Do we track whether users open our emails?
Our emails may contain a “web beacon pixel” to tell us whether our emails are opened and verify any clicks through to links or advertisements within the email. We may use this
information for purposes including determining which of our emails are more interesting to users, and to query whether users who do not open our emails wish to continue receiving them.
The pixel will be deleted when you delete the email. If you do not wish the pixel to be downloaded to your device, you should read the email in plain text view or with images disabled.
