Cookie Policy
This website uses "cookies."
What are cookies and what do we use them for?
When you visit a website, in most cases that website will place a small text file on your computer, which is a "cookie. Cookies keep track of general visiting data, such as your IP address, the duration of your website visit and the pages you visit on this website.
These cookies are used to allow websites to function correctly, to optimize them and to help analyze the website, but also to collect information for marketing purposes. If you visit a website again, that website will first request the cookies this website has ever placed. This allows the website to recognize returning visitors.
To do this, you must always give permission before a website can place cookies. You can give permission via the cookie banner or cookie popup on our site. There are a few exceptions to this required consent, namely in the case of ‘essential’ cookies. Essential cookies are necessary for the operation of the website.
We do not use cookies and similar technologies to systematically collect data that could identify users of our website. The cookies we use only help us improve and analyze the operation of our website.
Cookies also usually have an expiration period, meaning they are automatically deleted after a certain amount of time. For example, some cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser (the so-called "session cookie"), while others remain on your computer for a longer period of time - sometimes even until you delete them manually (the so-called "permanent cookie" or "persistent cookie").
Below is an overview of the cookies this website may set and which third-party cookies are used.
