Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (such as a computer or smartphone) during your visit. They serve various purposes, such as enabling secure authentication, maintaining user sessions, remembering preferences, and collecting usage data to improve the performance and functionality of websites.

Some cookies are technically necessary for the proper operation of a website, while others are used for analytics, functionality enhancements, or targeted advertising.

According to applicable laws, including the GDPR, cookies can be categorized as follows:

These cookies are essential for the Website to function correctly and securely. They enable core features such as:

• Session maintenance and user authentication
• Language preference storage
• Navigation and access to secure areas of the Website

These cookies do not require user consent under the applicable legal framework, provided they are not used for further purposes.

These cookies help website owners understand how visitors interact with the Website by collecting information in an aggregated and anonymized form. Examples include counting visits, tracking page views, or detecting navigation patterns.

Analytics cookies require prior user consent unless:

• They are used exclusively to produce aggregated statistics; and
• Measures such as IP address anonymization are in place; and
• The data is not used to identify users or track them across websites.

These cookies are used to create user profiles and deliver personalized advertising based on the user’s browsing behavior and preferences. Due to their potential impact on user privacy, explicit, informed, and prior consent is required before such cookies can be stored or accessed.

These cookies are set by third-party services that appear on the Website, such as social media plugins, embedded maps, or video content (e.g., YouTube, Google Maps). They may involve the transfer of data to third-party domains and often serve marketing or tracking purposes.

Users should be informed when third-party cookies are in use and must be given the option to accept or refuse them.

Cookies can also be classified based on how long they remain on your device:

• Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted once you close your browser.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a specified duration or until manually deleted. They are often used to remember login details or user preferences.

This Website does not use profiling cookies or any other tracking technologies for marketing or behavioral advertising purposes.

Only strictly necessary (technical) cookies and, where applicable, analytics cookies configured in compliance with the GDPR are used. These cookies serve the following purposes:

• Enabling core Website functions such as navigation and session management;
• Enhancing Website security;
• Performing aggregated statistical analysis, where such cookies are anonymized and do not track individual user behavior.

These cookies do not store personal identifiers such as login credentials or user-specific information on your device.
