Cookie Policy

Cookies are a small text file created by a website that is stored on the user’s computer either temporarily for that session (session cookie) only or permanently on your computer or mobile device until they expire or are deleted (persistent cookie). Cookies provide a way for our website to uniquely identify your browser or device. Cookies cannot directly identify an individual.

Cookies detect if your computer or device has visited before, identify how the site is being used, remember your preferences, generally improve your browsing experience and maintain the state of a browser session.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use information from and about you.

There are generally four categories of cookies: “Strictly Necessary,” “Functionality,” “Performance,”  and “Marketing.”

What types of cookies are there?

  • Strictly necessary cookies — These cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features. Cookies that allow web shops to hold your items in your cart while you are shopping online are an example of strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are typically first-party session cookies.
  • Functionality cookies — These cookies allow a website to remember choices you have made in the past. The information these cookies collect may be anonymous, and they are not used to track your browsing activity on other sites or services.
  • Performance cookies — These cookies collect information about how you use a website, like which pages you visited and which links you clicked on. None of this information can be used to identify you. It is all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized. Their sole purpose is to improve website functions. This includes cookies from third-party analytics services.
  • Marketing cookies — These cookies track your online activity to help advertisers deliver more relevant advertising or to limit how many times you see an ad. These cookies can share that information with other organizations or advertisers. These are persistent cookies and almost always of third-party provenance.

First and third party cookies

  • First-party cookies — Cookies that are put on your device directly by the website you are visiting.
  • Third-party cookies — Cookies that are placed on your device, not by the website you are visiting, but by a third party like an advertiser or an analytic system.

This website uses both analytical and marketing cookies. The list below explains the cookies we use and their purpose. This list is current as of November, 2019.
