Cookies and similar technologies: what are they?

We collect information automatically through cookies and similar technologies when you use our Website. A "cookie" is a small file sent to your device to uniquely identify your browser or to store settings and information. Web beacons, also known as 'pixel tags' or GIFs, are small images placed in web pages and messages that work with cookies to identify visitors and their interactions. An SDK is a code in mobile apps functioning similarly to cookies.

Why do we use cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies and related technologies help us serve you better upon return visits to our Website. For instance, they can "remember" your email address to simplify logins. We also use them to track responses to marketing materials, like emails and online ads. Please note, restricting cookies can impact the Website's functionality.

What types of cookies and similar technology do we use?

Types of cookies

This Website uses several categories of cookies:

  • "Strictly necessary" cookies are essential for the functionality of our Website. They enable users to navigate and use our Website's features. These cookies are always active and cannot be turned off. Consent is not required for their use.

  • "Performance" cookies gather information on how users navigate our Website, identifying user interactions and potential obstacles. They help us understand user behavior, such as which pages are frequently visited or load slowly. You can disable these cookies in your browser settings, but doing so may affect the website's ability to remember your interactions.

  • "Functionality" cookies remember user choices, such as language or region, to enhance the user experience.

  • "Targeting or advertising" cookies deliver relevant ads to devices, not individuals. They limit ad frequency and measure campaign effectiveness. These cookies, often third-party, may track website visits and share information with marketing organizations.

  • Third party cookies

We use marketing automation technology to track visitor behavior. These cookies help in creating an engaging experience and understanding interactions with our emails, checking their openness, and link-clicking patterns.

Our Website features cookies from unaffiliated companies for social network connections (like LinkedIn, Twitter) and additional features (such as YouTube).

This Website may link to third-party websites that use their own cookies, over which we have no control. We recommend reviewing these third parties' privacy policies for cookie information.

Engaging with these third-party sites may result in session or persistent cookies being placed on your device, allowing these third-parties to track your online activities over time and across websites.

How do we store cookies and for how long?

Cookies are stored as session cookies in memory or as persistent cookies on your hard disk. Session cookies expire when the browser session ends, while persistent cookies remain on the hard disk.

  • Persistent cookies are not deleted at the end of the session.

  • Session cookies help in maintaining continuity during a website visit, remembering page changes, or data selections.

For details on the cookies we use and their storage duration, please see the cookies table below.

Do we use web analytics and interest-based advertising?

  • Recognize you on each visit;

  • Count your visits and track first and last visit timings;

  • Note your entry time on the Website;

  • Track the origin of your visit, including search engine, link clicked, keyword used, and your location.
