1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, improve user experience, and provide information to site owners.

Cookies may be:

  • First-party cookies (set by this Website).
  • Third-party cookies (set by external providers such as Google or Meta).
  • Session cookies (deleted when you close your browser).
  • Persistent cookies (stored on your device until they expire or are deleted).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on the Website:

(A) Essential Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are necessary for the basic functioning and security of the Website. They enable core features such as page navigation, form submission, and content loading.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — these cookies are required for the Website to function.

Examples include (non-exhaustive):

  • Session cookies.
  • Security and performance cookies.
  • Cookies that store your cookie consent preferences.

You cannot disable these cookies via the cookie banner, as they are essential for providing the service you have requested.

Examples may include (depending on implementation):

6. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party providers that we use for analytics, marketing, or embedded content (for example, Google, Meta, LinkedIn). These providers may process your data in other countries.

Where required by the GDPR, we implement appropriate safeguards for international data transfers, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms.


7. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

In addition to the cookie settings provided on the Website, you can manage or block cookies through your browser settings. The steps vary depending on the browser you use. Typically, you can find these options in the privacy or security settings of your browser.

If you block essential cookies, some parts of the Website may not function properly.
