Cookie policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that the browser stores on your device (such as a computer, mobile phone, or tablet) when you browse websites. They are widely used to make websites work or function better and more efficiently.

Legislation stipulates that we are allowed to store cookies on your device if it is strictly necessary for the operation of this website. For all other types of cookies, we require your consent.

This website uses various types of cookies. Some cookies are placed as a result of third-party services available on our pages.

Our cookies help us to:

Make our marketing more effective (thus helping us offer you more relevant marketing content).
Ensure that the website functions as you expect.
Keep your session active for your convenience while you visit the site.
Remember settings during and between visits.
Improve website speed/security.
Personalize our website when you are logged in to help you get the information you need more quickly.
Continuously improve our website to meet your needs.

Your consent

By accessing our website, a banner will appear with a link to the cookie policy and three options:

Allow all – allows our website to issue all cookies.
Customize – allows you to choose whether you want to accept specific types of cookies.
Reject – allows you to reject the use of all cookies except for those that are necessary.

Generally, the more cookies you allow, the better your user experience will be; however, for privacy reasons, you are not required to consent to cookies unless they are necessary.

You can see exactly which cookies we use, their names and categories, purpose, and retention period on our website in the cookie banner, which you can open again even after it has been closed by clicking on the "Cookie Settings" button at the bottom of our website. This will also allow you to control your cookie preferences.

The banner will also provide you with information about the retention periods, the third parties involved, and a description of the specific cookies.

Types of Cookies

Cookies are typically classified by retention period, party, and purpose. Remember that a cookie can be classified by each type simultaneously, for example, a persistent functionality cookie set by a third party. Below you will find detailed information about the types of cookies we use. Information about specific cookies can be found in the updated cookie banner on our website, which can be opened at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" button at the bottom of our website.

We use two types of cookies – also known as "session" and "persistent" cookies. This categorization helps to determine and apply the retention periods for the cookies placed.

Session Cookies

A session cookie is used every time you visit our website. We use this type of cookie to associate your actions on our website, but each session cookie only lasts for one browser session, and when the session ends, the cookie expires. Each browser session starts when you open a browser window and ends when you close the browser window. After visiting our website, all session cookies are deleted.

Persistent Cookies

A persistent cookie allows us to remember your choices or actions on the website (or across different websites). It has a longer lifespan than a session cookie and works for the period specified in the cookie (this varies depending on the cookie). This type of cookie is not deleted when you close the browser window and is stored on your device. It will be activated each time you visit the website where the specific persistent cookie was set.

We use two categories of cookies – also known as "first-party" and "third-party" cookies. This categorization helps to determine who else will have access to the information collected by the placed cookie.

First-party Cookies

First-party cookies are created on our behalf by our authorized service providers. These cookies help provide you with a better experience and keep your session open. For example, the browser can remember key information, such as the items you add to your shopping cart, your username, and language preferences. First-party cookies can only be read when you visit our domain.

Third-party Cookies

Third-party cookies are created by a company other than us. Sometimes we use these cookies or other tracking mechanisms by incorporating third-party products on our website to collect the performance data we need, marketing data, provide social sharing functionality, etc. In such cases, these third parties also receive information from these cookies or other tracking mechanisms, and they may use it for their own purposes, including collecting more information than we have requested for our needs.

On our website's cookie banner, we have provided a description of the purposes for which we use such cookies or other tracking mechanisms. However, the actions and purposes for which these third parties may use the information provided by these cookies or tracking mechanisms depend on their privacy policies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of each of our third parties. For example, we use Google Analytics, and more information about how Google uses data can be found if you use our partners' websites or apps, you can find more information by visiting this link: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

You can view which cookies are third-party cookies based on the information in the "Detailed Information" column of the cookie banner. Additionally, our banner will provide links to their privacy policies or pages explaining how they process your data.

To help you understand the purposes of each cookie, we have classified each cookie as one of the following:

Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for our website to function and for you to navigate and use the features of our website. For example, they ensure quick and efficient website loading, allow you to log in to our site as a registered user, and ensure that your selected items and entered data are not lost while navigating between pages during your browsing session. Without necessary cookies, some features of our site will not work, and the website may not function as smoothly as it should. These cookies do not collect any information for marketing purposes and do not track your activities on our website or elsewhere on the internet.

Performance or Analytics Cookies

Performance cookies collect information about how you use our website and help improve its functionality. For example, performance cookies can show the most visited pages, the amount of time spent on a page, opened articles, and help track any difficulties encountered with the page. These cookies track your activity on our site, but they gather information in a way that does not directly identify you. Performance cookies do not collect any information for marketing purposes and do not track your activities elsewhere on the internet.

Preference or Functionality Cookies

Functionality cookies support specific interactive features that provide added value to you, but without them, our website can still function. Functionality cookies allow our website to remember you and your choices (such as language or region) and provide enhanced and personalized features. For example, they can customize a particular website, provide other functionality you requested (such as watching a video or leaving a comment), and remember if you have previously visited our website so that you are not shown messages meant for first-time visitors. These cookies do not collect any information for marketing purposes and do not track your activities on our website or elsewhere on the internet.

Marketing and Targeting Cookies

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across different websites. The goal is to display relevant and engaging ads to an individual user, making them more valuable to publishers and third-party advertisers.

Targeting or advertising cookies are used to deliver ads that are more relevant to you and your interests, limit the number of times you see the same ad on a website, and evaluate the effectiveness of advertising campaigns by tracking your clicks.

Ads may not only be shown on our website; they may also appear elsewhere even after you have closed our website. These cookies collect information for marketing purposes and track your activities not only on our website but also elsewhere on the internet.
