Cookies that provide basic functionality include session cookies and persistent cookies, which are stored by your browser until they expire or the visitor deletes them in their browser preferences.
The use of cookies for functionality does not require your specific consent because without the management of these cookies, the website would not function.

When we use third parties for statistical cookies and the information they collect is not used exclusively by us, we will always ask for your consent, especially if it may be combined with other data processing activities (e.g., activities related to Google account sign-in).
Please note that in the case of Google Analytics, we cannot exclude the use of data in other Google applications or the transfer of data to countries outside the EEA (such as the United States) that do not ensure a level of protection consistent with the GDPR, nor can we guarantee acceptance of the standard contractual clauses.
If Google's statistical cookies are also used for remarketing, they will also be included in the category of marketing cookies - and we will ask you to consent to this.
Users who do not want their activity on the site to be included in Google Analytics statistics can opt out of sending information to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. See the following page to learn how to install the add-on:
3. MARKETING COOKIES

Marketing cookies remember when you visit a website and share that information with other organizations, such as advertisers.
To limit the number of times you see an ad and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, we also use behavioral advertising cookies. They are usually placed by ad servers with the permission of the website owner.
Cookies used for advertising or targeted advertising are often associated with the operation of a website operated by another organization (i.e., third-party cookies).
Your consent is always required before marketing cookies are placed.
