What This Document Covers

This page extends our Privacy Notice and describes how we apply cookies and similar technologies to run our online services and electronic communications. Below you will find what these tools are, why we rely on them, and how you can limit their use.

In certain cases, such technologies may collect personal data – or information that becomes personal once combined with other details we hold. For a full picture of how we treat your personal data, please refer to our Privacy Notice.

Cookies and Tracking Tools Explained

Our website and applications place cookies – small files saved to your device – that help us and our third-party partners record how you interact with our pages, email messages, and other online services, and make your experience better. Together with partners and providers, we may also apply similar instruments: web beacons, pixels, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, and logging tools (collectively called “cookies”).

How We Apply These Files

Along with our partners, we gather data on your interaction with our websites, mobile application, emails, and other services. This shows us how people use the platform and where it can be improved.

The information collected automatically includes:

• Details about your device and software (operating system, browser type);
• When you visit and how you use our services (pages viewed, time spent);
• With your consent, we may track email opens and clicks to see if you received and engaged with our messages;
• Analytics tools may be applied to observe usage trends and study our audience;
• Your approximate location may be determined from your IP address.

Types:

• Essential Cookies: required for basic functions such as security and navigation. Switching them off will affect how the website operates; we apply them under our legitimate interest in providing and maintaining the service;
• Functional Cookies: save your choices (language, region) to personalize the experience. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running the platform;
• Performance Cookies: help us recognize and count visitors and see how you move through the service, making it easier to find what you need. Applied only with your consent;
• Targeting Cookies: record your visit, the pages opened, and the links followed, and serve to track visitors. We will request your consent, and you are free to deny it.

Sources:

• First-Party Cookies: created by our website and accessible only to us. They typically store your preferences (language, location) and improve your time on the service;
• Third-Party Cookies: placed on your device by other companies whose services we integrate – for analytics, advertising, and social media features.

Duration:

• Session Cookies: temporary files removed automatically once you close the browser;
• Persistent Cookies: remain on your device for a set period (defined by the cookie itself or by us) even after the browser is closed.

Reasons Behind Cookie Usage

We rely on cookies for several purposes, which break down as follows:

• Distinguish you from other visitors so browsing stays smooth and helps us refine our sites;
• Learn your preferences to display advertisements matching your interests, based on activity on our pages;
• Collect statistics on how the services are used to improve what we offer;
• Strengthen site security by preventing fraud and abuse;
• Identify your settings and track activity so the site functions properly and the content you see stays personalized and accurate;
• Keep record of your language choice, browsing activity, browser type, device, and favorite products to present relevant content;
• Deliver the right information depending on how you reached the site – through a search engine or an affiliate network.

Managing Your Cookie and Ad Preferences

You have choices when it comes to cookies and their use for advertising. Here is how to manage them:

Browser Settings

Most browsers let you adjust cookie handling in several ways, including:

• Receive alerts when a cookie is sent, deciding each time whether to accept or reject it;
• Remove cookies already stored on your device;
• Set the browser to reject all cookies automatically.

Please note that disabling cookies may negatively affect this and other websites you visit, reducing available features. Interest-based ads in your current browser can be limited at optout.aboutads.info or networkadvertising.org/choices.

Mobile Devices

You can also configure your mail client to block automatic image downloads — images may contain technologies that report whether you opened our email and interacted with it.

Google Analytics & Ads

Interest-Based Advertising

Block ads built on your browsing habits at youronlinechoices

Depending on your device and operating system, deleting or blocking every cookie may not be possible. To reject cookies across all browsers and devices, adjust the settings on each browser and device you use.
