2. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file sent by a website to the browser and stored on your device, whether it is a computer, tablet, smartphone or any other device used to view the website.
Cookies can be set either directly by the website you are visiting (called "first-party cookies"), or by third-party services operating on that website (called "third-party cookies").
There are several types of cookies. Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you manually delete them.
Similar tracking technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage objects, may be used in addition to cookies. In this Policy, the term “cookies” encompasses all such similar technologies, unless otherwise specified.
The information collected and stored in cookies does not allow us to identify with you personally and does not contain any personal data that you provide to us.

4. Managing cookie consent

The Consent Management Platform (CMP) used by the Service is Cookiebot, operated by Usercentrics A/S (Address: Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark). Cookiebot is a Google-certified solution responsible for displaying the requisite cookie consent banner within the Service and managing the accurate recording, storage, and administration of your consent preferences in compliance with relevant regulations.
Cookiebot allows you to:

  • View the categories of cookies used on the Service and the specific cookies within each category;
  • Accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or configure your preferences category by category;
  • Withdraw or change your consent preferences at any time by accessing the cookie management center.

Cookiebot automatically installs certain cookies on your device to remember your consent preferences and ensure the consent banner appears or disappears correctly on subsequent visits. These cookies are strictly necessary for the consent management functionality to work and do not require separate consent from you.
