Cookies may be placed directly by the website operator or by third-party service providers integrated into the website.

3. TYPES OF COOKIES

Depending on their purpose, the website may use the following categories of cookies:

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the basic operation, security and functionality of the website.

They may be used for functions such as navigation, security, cookie preference management, session management or the operation of forms.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent where they are essential for providing a service expressly requested by the user.

Preference cookies

These cookies may remember choices made by users, such as language, display preferences or other website settings.

Where these cookies are not strictly necessary to provide a function specifically requested by the user, they will only be activated where the applicable legal requirements have been met.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies may be used to understand how visitors interact with the website, for example by measuring page visits, navigation patterns, traffic sources or technical performance.

Where consent is legally required, analytics cookies will not be activated until the user has expressly accepted them.

Marketing or advertising cookies

Where advertising or marketing technologies are implemented, these cookies may be used to measure advertising effectiveness, personalise advertising or track users across websites.
