On the basis of their origin (the entity that places the cookies), we distinguish between

  • first-party cookies that are placed by the website operator,

2. STATISTICAL COOKIES

Statistical cookies are cookies managed by us or by third parties that allow us to measure the number of users and thus statistically analyze the use of the services provided on the website.

The statistical cookie analyzes your browsing behavior on our website in order to improve the services or products we offer you based on the statistical analysis.

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:

These cookies collect information about your surfing habits to provide you with relevant advertising on the website which matches your interests.

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.
