Cookies Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device that allow us to recognize your device during your next visit and obtain information about how you browse our site.

There are several types of cookies, and each serves a different purpose. If cookies are not strictly necessary for the operation of our site, we will ask for your consent before storing them.

 

Necessary

Their storage is essential for the functionality of our pages and the user account. They enable, for example:

• navigation functionality on the pages,
• storing information about whether you have given us consent for other types of cookies.

The processing of necessary cookies is not subject to your consent. These cookies do not collect any information usable for marketing.

 

Analytical

Analytical cookies collect information about the browsing of our site. From their anonymized outputs, we are subsequently able to understand how you visit our site. We use the information obtained to ensure you can easily find what you are looking for on our pages.

To perform analysis, we use the Google Analytics tool from Google, which processes part of the data in the USA—a third country where an equivalent level of protection as in the EU may not be guaranteed, as US intelligence services may have access to the data in certain cases.

To minimize risks for you, we use Google Analytics exclusively with anonymized IP addresses and with deactivated functions that could lead to your identification even on a theoretical level. We use this type of cookie only if you have given us your consent during your first visit, including the transfer of data to a third country.

More information about the processing and use of your data can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy. If you do not want to provide anonymous data about website usage to Google Analytics at all—not just to us, but on all sites you browse—you can use a plugin provided by Google. After installation in your browser and activation, your data will no longer be sent to Google.

Marketing

Marketing cookies collect information about which parts of our site interested you and allow us or our advertising partners to display relevant advertising—whether on our website or elsewhere. They also help limit the number of times an ad is displayed and measure the effectiveness of campaigns.

We only store these cookies based on your consent. If you do not grant consent, advertising may still be displayed to you, but it will not be tailored to your interests. For targeted advertising, we use extended Google Analytics functions (remarketing, demographic reports, user ID – a pseudonymized random string).
