3.1 Cookies we use

There are different types of cookies. One type is used directly by our website, while another type refers to third-party cookies, which are placed by such parties on our website. The cookies used directly by our website – the so-called “first-party cookies” – are cookies created by our website. The information stored in them can be read only by our website. “Third party cookies” are cookies that are placed on our website when we use external services.

Some cookies are allocated to your device only for the duration of your visit to the website, and these are called “session-based” cookies. These cookies automatically expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

The following are the two types of cookies that we use:

1. Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will then not work. Your consent is not needed for these types of cookies.
