2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone or tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites recognize your device, remember preferences and enhance user experience. Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain on your device until they expire or are deleted).
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies. These cookies are necessary for the Website to function properly, such as enabling basic navigation, security features and access to secure areas. Without these cookies, certain services cannot be provided.
Performance and Analytics Cookies. We use analytics tools to collect information about how visitors interact with the Website—such as pages visited, time spent on the site and error messages. This helps us improve the performance and design of the Website. Where legally required, we may seek consent before placing analytics cookies.
Functional Cookies. These cookies enable the Website to remember choices you make (e.g., language, region or preferences) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have requested, such as remembering login details for secure areas.
Advertising and Targeting Cookies. We may work with third‑party marketing and advertising partners who set cookies on our Website to collect information about your browsing habits. This information is used to provide you with relevant advertisements and to measure campaign effectiveness. We do not sell personal information but some of our marketing practices may constitute “sharing” of information under certain privacy laws. You may opt out of marketing cookies as described below.
Third‑Party Cookies. Some cookies may be set by third‑party service providers who perform functions on our behalf—for example, analytics providers, social media platforms or customer relationship management services. These third parties may collect information about your use of the Website and may combine it with information collected across different sites and online services.

5. Managing Cookies
Browser Settings. Most web browsers allow you to control or disable cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to alert you when cookies are being sent, to block certain cookies, or to delete all cookies when you close your browser. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the Website.
Consent Preferences. In regions that require explicit consent (such as the European Economic Area), we may display a cookie banner or preference centre that allows you to accept or reject non‑essential cookies. You can update your choices at any time via the same mechanism.
Do Not Track Signals and Opt‑Out Mechanisms. Some browsers and devices allow you to send a “Do Not Track” signal or a similar preference. Depending on your location, we will honour legally required settings or signals. For advertising cookies, certain jurisdictions provide opt‑out mechanisms through industry associations.
Retention. Cookies may remain on your device for varying lengths of time. Session cookies expire at the end of your session, while persistent cookies may be stored until their expiration date or until you delete them.
6. Legal Basis and Compliance

Legitimate Interests. For regions where consent is not required for analytics or performance cookies, we rely on our legitimate interests in understanding how our Website is used and improving our services. This will not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
