2.      What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files created by a server and stored on the hard drive of all devices used by the user to access the internet (computers, tablets, smartphones, etc.). On each subsequent visit, the browser sends these cookies back to the website that generated them or to another website. In general, cookies allow websites to remember certain information to enable fast and easy browsing.

We can distinguish between the following five types of cookies:

• Transient Cookies These are automatically deleted when you close your browser. This includes session cookies, which store a session ID that allows various browser requests to be assigned to the same session. Your device can be recognized when you return to our website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.
• Persistent Cookies These are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete these cookies at any time in your browser’s security settings.
• Technical Cookies These are essential for navigating this website and using its features. They allow us to provide a fast and secure digital experience, such as maintaining a connection to secure areas, securely storing your user ID and password, personalizing your homepage, recognizing visited pages, and monitoring fraud risks. These cookies are necessary for the website to function and do not require user consent.
• Analytical or Statistical Cookies These collect specific information about user browsing behavior to understand how users interact with website content, thereby improving performance and/or enabling navigation. The website also uses third-party analytical cookies that reduce the possibility of user identification (e.g., by masking parts of the IP address and avoiding data enrichment or cross-referencing). These are treated as technical cookies and stored separately. For third-party analytical cookies treated as technical cookies, please refer to their privacy policies via the provided links. In such cases, the third parties are the data controllers.
• Profiling Cookies for Marketing Purposes These are used to collect information about your browsing habits to deliver advertising messages tailored to your interests. For example, they analyze how often you view a particular ad and suggest personalized advertising. These cookies are provided by third parties, who are the data controllers. Their privacy policies can be accessed via the relevant links. The installation of these cookies requires your consent.

3. What cookies are used on this website and for what purpose?

Our website uses a wide range of digital marketing and analytics tools to optimize user experience, continuously improve content, and design effective advertising campaigns. We use various cookies, including those from providers such as Google Advertising, Google Analytics, Google Optimize, Microsoft Advertising, BMetric, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

Cookies help make our website attractive and user-friendly, improve it, and speed up requests. Some elements require the browser to be recognized even after navigating to a different page—for example, our wishlist feature when downloading brochures.

Tools like Google Analytics help us analyze how you use our website, such as identifying third-party services you came from. They create personalized advertising profiles to better market our products and services, support product development, and track your activity to measure ad performance. Third parties, including Google, may use tracking technologies to collect or receive information from our website and elsewhere to serve ads and measure their effectiveness. For more information on how Google and other third parties manage data in their analytics products, refer to their privacy policies in our cookie settings.
