As soon as you visit our website, cookies are downloaded by the Internet browser to your device in the form of a small text file, for example. Third party technologies such as scripts, pixels and tags that we integrate into our website for advertising purposes also enable cookies on your device. In the following paragraphs, we explain the purpose of using these technologies and how you can configure the settings according to your needs.

 

PURPOSE OF COOKIES

Cookies fulfill many different tasks that contribute to a seamless and interactive online experience. For this to work, you must always use the same device and the same browser. Some specific cookies are essential for the operation and maintenance of our website, as they allow us to:

  • Always offer you your preferred services;
  • Present you with specific and relevant information;
  • Offer you a seamless and comfortable online experience.

  • Provide you with a more personalized experience by showing you the most important pages more efficiently;
  • Remember some of your personal preferences;
  • Provide you with guidance to access useful content or pages.

 

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENTS

Cookies help us understand how visitors use our website and allow us to improve as needed. For example, with cookies we can analyze the most popular type of content and create similar themes that may be equally relevant to our visitors. In turn, this helps us to:

  • Improve the design of our website and provide you with an improved online experience;
  • Try different approaches and present our visitors with content that is most relevant to them.

 

ADVERTISING AND REDIRECTING

Our website may use cookies for redirection purposes. This means that cookies store information about your browsing history to monitor your interests and activities on our website. This helps us, or our advertising partners, to show you:

  • Relevant advertising about our products on other websites based on your visits to our website;
  • A combination of relevant and specific information, so that the displayed advertising matches your interests.

 

COOKIES CATEGORIES

Data processing cookies and associated cookies may be used on our website. Depending on the role and purpose, we divide data processing into different categories. The intended purpose of each respective category is described on this page and your consent to the mentioned categories can also be changed here. Each category lists all related data processing, if any, as well as the cookies commonly used for that data processing.

 

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT COOKIES?

Cookies help you have a better and faster online experience. A cookie is a small text file that stores Internet settings. Virtually all websites use cookies. When you visit a website for the first time, cookies are downloaded to your internet browser. The next time you visit that website using the same device, the website recognizes you and presents you with content tailored to your personal needs and interests.

 

INTERNAL COOKIES

Internal cookies are cookies that we, or contracted service providers, activate on the website and with which you interact if you continue to use our website.

 

THIRD PARTY COOKIES

Our website may also include content from other providers (external providers) who are likely to use their own cookies. During your visit to our website, third-party providers may place cookies that request information about whether you have already logged on our website, for example. For more details on the use of cookies by the respective third-party provider, please visit the third-party provider’s website. You can reject cookies from third-party providers at any time using the corresponding function on our website. If you reject all third-party cookies, we will only be able to offer you functionality on our website that can be used without these cookies. In this case, the sections of our website that contain external content, which in turn requires the placement of third-party cookies, will not be available to you. A notification will notify you of this issue. If, even so, you want to access content that is not available on our website, you will have to accept the use of analytical and marketing cookies.

 

REJECTING COOKIES

If you reject cookies that require your consent, we will formally accept your decision and refrain from placing the respective cookies. If you revoke your cookie consent, we will stop placing cookies that require consent from your visit to the next page. As long as technically possible, we will delete internal cookies. Naturally, you can refuse the use of analytical and marketing cookies. However, this will prevent us from understanding what you like and don’t like about our website and therefore making any necessary improvements. Please note that we cannot delete third-party cookies. If you wish to delete all third-party cookies, please use your browser settings. We would also like to draw your attention to the fact that revoking your consent to the use of cookies will not result in less advertising. In fact, the only effect will be that the displayed advertising will not match your personal needs.

 

MANAGING COOKIES IN YOUR BROWSER 

You can manage cookie settings through the features mentioned above on our website and also by changing your browser settings (activate, deactivate and delete). Most browsers allow you to manage cookies by accepting or rejecting all cookies. Consult your browser’s user guide for more information on how to manage and delete cookies. By changing your cookie settings, some cookies will be blocked. In this case, you may not enjoy some features on our website. We may also be prevented from offering you certain previously viewed or used content.

 

WHERE IS THE INFORMATION COLLECTED BY COOKIES PROCESSED?

The information collected through cookies is essentially processed in the European Union (EU). In some cases, it is possible that cookie information is processed by our contracted service providers or by third-party cookie providers in countries outside the EU that do not offer a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU. In some cases, for example in the US, there is a relevant risk that local authorities may gain access to cookie information processed in the country for monitoring purposes. There are no effective remedies to avoid this situation. To ensure adequate protection of the information collected through cookies, we have implemented adequate and additional security measures such as, for example, contracts based on contractual clauses respecting EU standards, in addition to the implementation of complementary technical measures. To the extent that you have given your consent to the “analytical and marketing cookies” category, you also accept the transfer and further processing of information collected by cookies in countries outside the EU.
