Protecting your private sphere while using our website is paramount to us. Therefore, we provide detailed information about the collection of both personal and non-personal data.

On this website, the software is used to analyze usage. Evaluating this data yields valuable insights into user needs, which helps improve the quality of our offerings. Specifically, the following data set is stored unrestrictedly for each access:

The anonymized form of the IP address of the computer submitting the request;

The operating system used by the user.

2. WHAT IS A COOKIE?

A Cookie is a small text file that saves settings for the internet. Nearly every web page uses this technology. It is downloaded by your internet browser the first time you access a web page. On the next visit to this web page with the same device, the Cookies and the information saved are either sent back to the web page that created them (First Party Cookie) or to another web page to which they belong (Third Party Cookie). Thus, the web page recognizes that you have accessed the page before with this browser and in some cases, the content displayed varies.

Some Cookies are very useful because they can improve the user experience when re-accessing a particular web page. Provided you use the same terminal and the same browser as before, Cookies remember, for example, your preferences, tell how you use a page, and adapt the offers displayed to your personal interests and needs.

Most of the Cookies we use are automatically deleted from your hard drive after the browser session ends (“Session Cookies”). Additionally, we use Cookies that remain on your hard disk even after the session ends. This mainly aims to improve the user experience when the web page is accessed again, by further adapting the web page to your personal needs, thus optimizing loading time.

3. WHAT ARE COOKIES USED FOR?

These files primarily make it possible to recognize the user’s device and to present content in a way that is relevant and tailored to the user’s preferences.

Cookies ensure a pleasant browsing experience for users and support our efforts to offer services more tailored to users, such as: online privacy preferences, shopping carts, or relevant advertising. They are also used in preparing aggregated anonymous statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content without enabling personal identification of the user.

4. WHAT COOKIES DO WE USE?

When you use our website to browse our products and services and to view the information we provide, a number of cookies are used by us and by third parties to enable the website to function, to collect useful information about visitors, and to help enhance your user experience.

Some of the cookies we use are strictly necessary for our website to function, and we do not ask for your consent to place them on your computer.

However, for those cookies that are useful but not strictly necessary, we will always ask for your consent before placing them.

In addition to the cookies we use, various third parties also place cookies on your computer, again with your consent.

These settings can be changed in such a way that the web browser can block automatic management of cookies, or the user can be informed each time cookies are sent to their device.

Detailed information about the possibilities and ways of managing cookies can be found in the settings area of the application (web browser). Limiting the use of cookies may affect certain functionalities of the website.

Cookies and/or similar technologies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies can make some sites or parts of sites impossible to use.
