What do we do with your personal data?

When browsing our website, it may be necessary to store information on your computer’s hard drive or on your mobile device in the form of so-called “Cookies” (basically a small text file). “Cookies” are commonly used by website owners to enable or improve the operation of those sites and to obtain reports.

“Cookies” (also known as “http cookies”, “web cookies” or “browser cookies”) are simply small pieces of data that are stored in text files on your computer when you visit certain websites. Their typical purpose is to enable websites to remember specific actions that you have performed in the past. For example, cookies may track when you logged into a website, when you visited certain websites or clicked certain buttons.

“Cookies” set by the owner of a website are called “owner’s own cookies”. “Cookies” created by persons other than the website owner are called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party properties or functionality to be provided on or through the website (eg advertising features and content, videos and website analytics services). Third party cookies can recognize your computer both when you use it to visit a website and when you use that computer to visit certain other websites.

Cookies may remain on your computer or mobile device for various periods of time. Some “cookies” are “session cookies”, which means that they only exist while your internet browser is running and are automatically deleted when you close it. Other “cookies” are “permanent cookies”, which means that they also remain after you close your browser and can be used by websites to recognize your computer when you open your browser and restart Internet browsing.

We use cookies for several reasons. For example, they allow us to track the interests of our users, which allows us to increase the attractiveness of our website.
