Cookies Policy

Essential Cookies: Necessary for Basic Site Functionality

These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Without these cookies, basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website would not work.

Performance Cookies: Collecting Analytics and Performance Data

Performance cookies collect information about how you use our website, like which pages you visited and which links you clicked on. None of this information can be used to identify you. It is all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized. Their sole purpose is to improve website functions, which includes ensuring that users can find what they need easily.

Functionality Cookies: Enhancing User Experience

Functionality cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.

Targeting or Advertising Cookies: Delivering Personalized Advertising

These cookies track your browsing habits to enable us to show advertising which is more likely to be of interest to you. These cookies use information about your browsing history to group you with other users who have similar interests. Based on that information, and with our permission, third-party advertisers can place cookies to enable them to show adverts which we think will be relevant to your interests while you are on third-party websites.
