What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small data file that is sent to your browser and stored there, allowing a website to recognize your computer. All websites can send cookies to your browser if your settings allow it. Websites can only read the cookies they have stored themselves and cannot access cookies from other websites. There are two types of cookies: persistent cookies and temporary (session) cookies. Persistent cookies are stored on your computer for a longer period of time. Session cookies are temporarily placed on your computer when you visit a website but disappear once you close the page, meaning they are not stored permanently. Most companies use cookies on their websites to enhance usability, and cookies cannot damage your files or increase the risk of viruses on your computer.
Why do we use cookies?
Many functions on a website depend on cookies being placed when a user visits the site. Therefore, we primarily use cookies to ensure a functional website. In addition, we use both first-party and third-party cookies to improve the user experience and offer relevant marketing content. When a third-party cookie is set, it means we have allowed an external provider, such as a social media platform or Google Analytics, to place a cookie in your browser when you visit our site.
On our website, we use the following types of cookies:
Necessary/Technical cookies
Technical cookies are essential for most websites to function properly. As the name suggests, they serve only a technical purpose and do not affect your privacy, since they do not track your activity on other websites.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember your user preferences by saving the settings and other choices you make on a website. An example could be your language and text size preferences.
Statistical cookies
Statistical cookies are used to optimize the design, usability, and efficiency of a website. The collected information can, for example, be used to analyze which parts of the website are most popular to help make important content easier to find.
Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies collect information by tracking you across the websites you visit – they can be seen as your digital footprints. For this reason, marketing cookies are often referred to as "tracking cookies." The collected data is used to gain insight into your interests, habits, and activities in order to show you relevant content. This means you will receive targeted content, such as suggested articles, products, and ads.
Information collected through cookies
The data typically collected through cookies includes your IP address, unique IDs, and information about your user behavior.
