What exactly is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files containing information that a website creates when you visit it. They are stored on the visitor’s computer so that the user can use different functions on the site. Our website uses both session cookies and persistent cookies.
A session cookie is stored temporarily in the computer’s memory while you browse the website. This cookie is deleted when you close your browser or after a certain period of time (i.e., when the session ends). A persistent cookie remains on the visitor’s computer until it is deleted. In this document, the term “cookies” refers to cookies or similar technologies covered by the EU Directive on privacy and electronic communications.
Necessary and non-essential cookies
Some cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. These are mainly functional cookies that allow information to be retained when you move from one page to another. For example, an online store’s shopping cart and checkout would not function without cookies.
Cookies that are not essential for the operation of the website are often related to analyzing visitor behavior. They help us improve our website and advertising.
Functional cookies
We use cookies on our website to provide the services you request. These services include user login, managing the contents of the shopping cart, setting language preferences, and security features that are essential for using the website.
Website functionality and content
With sharing features, visitors can recommend our website and its content on social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Cookies store information about the use of the sharing function — but not on an individual user level — in order to improve the website. If you do not allow cookies, no information will be stored.
We use third-party providers for some functions on our website, for example when you visit a page that contains videos from YouTube or links to them. These videos or links (and other third-party content) may contain cookies from third parties. More information about their use can be found in the cookie policies of those third-party websites.
Website analytics and user profiling
This website uses tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Analytics, which use cookies. Cookies store information in an aggregated form about the activities of website users. This information includes, for example, the number of pages viewed, where visitors come from, and the number of visits. We also monitor form submissions and page-specific scrolling.
Through these cookies we may also obtain information about visitors’ age, gender, and interests. All of the above information is used to improve the website, ensure a good user experience, develop the business, and create advertising audiences. We may also combine information collected through cookies with information obtained from other sources.
The website uses, or may use, cookies from the following parties for the purposes described above.
How are cookies managed on this website?
Non-essential cookies are managed using Google Tag Manager. When you visit the site, you are asked whether you accept the use of cookies. If you answer yes, a cookie is placed in your browser, which activates the cookies stored in the Tag Manager container. If you answer no, a different cookie is placed in your browser and the Tag Manager cookies are not activated.
If you accept cookies but later change your mind, you can still disable them from the bottom of this page. After that, your future activity will no longer be tracked. Some previously stored cookies may still remain in your browser, but you can remove them through your browser settings.
How can I block or delete cookies?
You can block or delete cookies from our website or from third-party websites by changing your web browser settings. See the Help section of your browser for more information. Most web browsers accept cookies automatically, so if you do not want cookies to be used, you may need to actively delete or block them.
More information about the use of cookies in mobile browsers and how to block or delete them can be found in your mobile device’s manual. If you do not allow cookies, you can still use our website, but some features may not function properly.
If you accepted cookies by mistake, you can remove them through your browser settings. When you visit our website again, you should see the cookie notice again. You can also disable non-essential cookies for this website using the button at the bottom of the page.
Data retention
Information collected through cookies is generally stored for 24 months. However, the retention period may vary between different services. Personal data is processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
