This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies the website uses, for what purposes, and how you as a visitor (“you”) can manage your choices.
2. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website, or that can be read from it. They help, for example, to keep the website working, remember settings, measure traffic or show relevant content and ads.
Besides cookies, other technologies with a similar function may be used, for example pixel tags, local browser storage or device identifiers. In this policy, all these technologies are together called “cookies”.
3. Legal basis and rules for using cookies
We ask for your verifiable consent in advance before we store data on your device or access data stored on it, unless a specific cookie is necessary:
- only to transmit a message over an electronic communications network; or
- to provide an online service that you have explicitly requested.
Necessary cookies therefore work without consent. We turn on analytics and marketing cookies only after you give consent in the cookie bar, unless stated otherwise for a specific technology.
If personal data is processed through cookies, this is done in line with data protection law. For optional cookies, the legal basis is your consent. Consent is voluntary and you can withdraw it at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing before you withdrew it.
4. Cookie categories
| Category | Retention period |
|---|---|
| A. Necessary | 12 months |
| B. Statistics and analytics | 12 months |
| C. Marketing | 90 days |
A. Necessary (technical or functional) cookies
These cookies make the website work and keep it secure. For example, they can store your choice in the cookie bar, balance server load, protect forms or keep you logged in to a user account. Without them, the website or a feature you asked for may not work properly. Retention period: 12 months.
B. Statistics and analytics cookies
These cookies measure traffic and how the website is used. They help us understand which pages and features people use, so we can improve the website. They are only used if you allow them. Retention period: 12 months.
C. Marketing cookies
These cookies can be used to measure how well campaigns work, to create user segments and to show content or ads that match your likely interests, also on third-party websites. They are only used if you allow them. Retention period: 90 days.
5. Consent
On your first visit, you see a cookie bar with information about cookies and a link to this policy. You can choose “Accept all” (all cookie categories are stored), “Reject all” (only necessary cookies are stored) or “Settings”, where you choose each category separately. Necessary cookies are always on and cannot be turned off. For the other categories, you decide. You confirm your choice with the “Save settings” button. You can also manage cookies in your browser settings, but blocking necessary cookies may affect how the website works.
6. Recipients, providers and data transfers
Depending on your choices, data from cookies may be accessed by providers of website hosting and operation, analytics tools, marketing tools or social networks.
If a tool transfers personal data outside the European Economic Area, we tell you about it for that tool, including the transfer mechanism used and the available safeguards.
7. Processing and storage period
Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close the browser) or persistent cookies (they stay on your device for the period in the table, or until you delete them). We do not keep personal data from cookies longer than needed for the purpose. The exact retention periods are listed above for each type of cookie.
8. Managing and withdrawing consent
You can change or withdraw your choices at any time with the link, which is always available in the website footer. Click it and change the categories in the window that opens. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.
You can also manage cookies in your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Blocking necessary cookies may affect how the website works or whether some services are available.
9. Your rights when personal data is processed
If personal data is processed through cookies, you can, under the conditions set by law, ask for access to your personal data, its correction or deletion, or restriction of processing. You can also object to processing and use your right to data portability. If processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
You can also file a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. To use your rights, contact us at the address in section 1.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when needed, especially when the technologies, providers or legal requirements change. The current version will always be published on this website with the date of the last update.
