On our website we use cookies mainly to improve the experience of visitors to the website and to ensure its proper functioning.

We also use analytical cookies to analyse your behaviour on our website, with a view to improving its performance, functionality, and user-friendliness. These cookies are used only with your consent.

A cookie is a small file that we send to your web browser, mobile device, and/or hard drive on your computer when you visit our website. Cookies help us to remember, for example, your preferences when using our website (e.g., your choice of language), unless you have adjusted your settings so that your browser refuses cookies.

2. Types of cookies

Cookies can be divided by origin, function, and lifespan.

• First-party cookies are technical cookies that ensure that our website functions correctly. This increases the quality of our services.
• Third-party cookies are cookies placed by a domain name other than that of our website. If a user visits a website and a third party places a cookie through that website, this is a third-party cookie. For cookies placed by third parties, please refer to the statements made by those parties on their respective websites. Note: We cannot influence the content of those statements nor the content of the cookies of third parties.

We can further divide the first- and third-party cookies into the following categories:

• Required cookies are necessary to use a website, provide certain functions requested by you, and ensure secure identity verification.
• Functional cookies allow the website to work properly. They keep information about your choices and preferences on our website (e.g., cookies to remember log-in or registration or your language preference).
• Non-functional cookiesare cookies that can be placed for statistical, social, targeting, and commercial purposes. They have nothing to do with the technical support of the website. Non-functional cookies can be first-party or third-party cookies.
  • Cookies with static purposes allow, among other things, tracking which pages of the website you visit, where your computer is located, etc. (Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar).
  • Cookies with social purposes allow the user to directly share the content of the visited website with others via social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube).
  • Cookies with targeting purposes allow a profile to be built based on your browsing behaviour so that the ads shown are tailored to your interests (Facebook).
  • Cookies with commercial purposes track how many and which ads were shown to a user (Google AdWords and Bing ads).

Cookies can also be divided according to their lifespan:

• Persistent cookies: These cookies remain on the user’s device for the duration defined in the cookie. They are activated each time the user visits the website that placed this cookie (e.g., cookies placed by social media such as Facebook, Google Analytics, etc.). Most non-functional cookies are persistent cookies.
• Session cookies: These cookies allow us to simplify and link a user’s actions during a browser session. A browser session begins when users open their browser window and ends when they close the window. Session cookies are placed temporarily. Once you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted. Most functional cookies are session cookies.
