Cookies Policy
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small piece of text that our web server stores on your computer or mobile device and that your browser sends to us when you return to our site. Cookies do not necessarily identify you if you are merely visiting our website; however, a cookie may store a unique identifier for each logged-in user. The cookies we use are essential for the operation of the website, or are used for performance, functionality and security purposes.
For example, cookies allow us to remember things about your visit to our website, such as your preferred language, time zone, and other preferences, to make the site and service easier for you to use.
To offer the highest level of usability, performance, and security, we use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A persistent cookie is a text file sent by a web server to a web browser, stored by the browser, and valid until its set expiration date (unless deleted by the user before the expiration date). A session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.
How and why we use cookies and similar technologies
The cookies and similar technologies we use, including web beacons, browser cookies, pixel tags, and local shared objects (also called "flash cookies"), all share one goal: to offer, measure, and improve all aspects of our service continuously in various ways. We differentiate between those cookies that are strictly necessary for access and navigation, others that track usage (performance cookies), remember your choices (functionality cookies), and cookies that provide you with targeted content or advertising.
We use cookies for the following purposes and pursuant to Article 6 paragraph 1 (f) GDPR:
1. Access and security (Strictly Necessary Cookies)
- To recognize your computer when you visit our website and to facilitate logging in;

2. Settings (Functionality Cookies)
- To remember details about your browser, site settings and preferences you have specified related to the use of our website and services (e.g. preferred language or time zone).
3. Analytics and research (Performance Cookies)
- To help us gain important insights and understand the way people use our website and service;
4. Advertising and marketing (Other Cookies)
- To personalize the website and service for you;
- To include advertisements, which may be of particular interest to you;
To properly understand how people use our website and service, we have implemented several analytics partners, including Google Analytics. These partners use cookies to gather information and analyze site navigation, and how and from which websites users reached our website and service.
We do not release any information collected from our own cookies to any third-party providers, except for the service providers assisting in managing cookies.
