What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are stored by your browser and sent back to the originating website on subsequent visits, or to other websites that recognise that cookie.

Cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage, pixel tags, and web beacons) serve a variety of purposes:

Strictly necessary: enabling core website functionality.
Performance & analytics: helping us understand how visitors interact with our website.

Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, we rely on the following legal bases:

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies — Legitimate Interest / Contract performance

We process this data on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a functional website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or where necessary to perform a contract with you (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

For all non-essential cookies (preferences, analytics, and marketing), we rely on your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Art. 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. You will be asked for this consent via our cookie banner when you first visit the website. You may withdraw your consent at any time

When cookies expire or you delete them, the associated data is no longer accessed by our systems. Anonymised or aggregated analytics data (from which no individual can be identified) may be retained for longer periods for trend analysis and service improvement.
