About cookies
Like many companies, we use "cookies" on this website. Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information that may be placed on your browser when you visit certain websites.
Websites use various types of cookies to fulfil many functions. Depending on the function they need to achieve, cookies may be temporary; staying on your device only for the duration of your browsing session (session cookies) or permanently placed on your device memory (persistent cookies) to remember your preferences. Cookies may be placed by the operators of the website you are visiting or by other operators setting cookies through that website (third party cookies). As such, any cookie we use will fit into one of the following categories:
Types of cookies
Cookies can be assigned to four categories, depending on their function and intended purpose: absolutely necessary cookies, performance cookies, functional cookies, and cookies for marketing purposes.
1) Absolutely necessary cookies
This category of cookies is needed for you to navigate within websites and operate basic website functions, such as the issuance of anonymous session IDs for bundling several related queries to a server.
2) Performance cookies
This category of cookies collects information on the usage of our websites, including for example the internet browsers and operating systems used, the domain name of the websites previously visited, the number of visits, the average duration of each visit, and pages called up.

You can block the use of such cookies by creating an exclusion cookie (see “managing cookies” below).
3) Functional cookies
This category of cookies enables our websites to store information the user has already entered (such as user ID, language selection, or the user’s location), in order to offer improved, personalized functions to the user. Functional cookies are also used to enable requested functions such as playing videos and to make a user’s decision to block or disable a certain function (e.g. web analysis) - “opt-out cookies”.
