1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website or platform. They help us remember your preferences and gain insights into how our services are used.

2. Which cookies do we use?

We use both first-party and third-party cookies. These cookies can be divided into the following categories:

Necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our website and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. These cookies are placed on the basis of legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), as they are necessary for the functioning of the site.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies enable our website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by external service providers whose services we have added to our pages. These cookies are placed based on your consent. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.
