Last updated: October 28, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how the operator of this website ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, Reg. 2016/679) and the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC, Art. 5(3)).

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website. They allow us to recognize your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, measure how the site is used, and (with your consent) deliver personalized advertising.

We also use similar technologies such as localStorage, sessionStorage, and pixel tags. Where this policy refers to "cookies", it covers these technologies as well.

Legal basis

For strictly necessary cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest under GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) and the technical exemption under ePrivacy Art. 5(3).

For all other cookie categories, the legal basis is your explicit consent under GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 7, collected via the cookie banner before any non-essential cookie is set.

You can withdraw consent at any time using the "Cookie settings" link or by clearing your cookies; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal (GDPR Art. 7(3)).
