Our website uses third-party cookies (e.g., Google Analytics).

We receive and process certain third-party cookie data, which we use for the purposes explained in the cookie table below.

Our website uses the following types of cookies:

  • Strictly necessary cookies are those without which the website cannot function properly. They are necessary for the website to provide the function or service requested by the user. User consent is not required to place this type of cookie on their device.

  • Preference cookies allow the website to remember information that changes the behavior or appearance of the website, such as the user's preferred language. These may be first-party or third-party cookies (see definitions below). User consent is required to place this type of cookie on their device.

  • Statistics cookies are used to analyze or measure user behavior on the website, including measuring the impact of advertisements and analyzing where users click. This is done to improve the website and help website owners understand how visitors interact with their websites by collecting and reporting information. These may be first-party or third-party cookies (see definitions below). User consent is required to place this type of cookie on their device.

  • Marketing cookies are used to track users across websites. They store information about user behavior obtained through continuous observation of browsing habits. This enables the development of a specific user profile to allow a website to display relevant advertisements to the individual user, which are therefore more valuable to third-party publishers and advertisers. These may be first-party or third-party cookies (see definitions below). User consent is required to place this type of cookie on their device.
