Cookies

To ensure the proper functioning of the website, we sometimes place small data files on your computer, so-called “cookies”. Most major sites do the same.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit that website. This way, the site remembers your actions and preferences (such as login code, language, font size and other display preferences) for a period of time, so you don’t have to enter these preferences every time you visit the website or browse its pages.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

• IP Address

• Operating System type

• Operating System version

• Device Type

• Language of the website

• Web browser type

• Email (in hashed form)

How do we use cookies?

Some of our pages use cookies to remember:

your display preferences, e.g. brightness or character size
if you’ve already answered a pop-up survey asking if the content was helpful or not (so you don’t get asked the same question again)
if you have agreed to our use of cookies on this website.

Also, some videos embedded on our pages use a cookie to collect anonymous statistics about how you got there and which videos you visited.

The activation of these cookies is not necessary for the operation of the website, but through them, you will have possibilities for better browsing. You can delete these cookies, or block access to them, but if you do some features of the website may not work satisfactorily.

The information associated with cookies is not used to identify you personally and we have complete control over the pattern data. Cookies are not used for purposes other than those described in this text.

Do we use other cookies?

Some of our websites or sub-sites may use additional or different cookies than those mentioned above. In this case, you will find details about cookies on the corresponding information page. You may be asked to agree to the storage of these cookies.

Retargeting Ads
From time to time, the Website may engage in remarketing efforts with third-party companies, such as Google, Facebook, or Instagram, in order to market the Website. These companies use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the Website.

Sponsored Content Tracking Pixels
This Website may engage in sponsored campaigns with various influencer networks, brands, and agencies. All sponsored content is duly disclosed in accordance with the FTC’s requirements. From time to time, these sponsored campaigns utilize tracking pixels (aka web beacons), which may contain cookies to collect data regarding usage and audience. This information is collected by the sponsoring company to track the results of the campaign. No personally identifiable information collected by the Website is used in conjunction with these tracking pixels.

On the Website, you may subscribe to our newsletter, which may be used for advertising purposes. All newsletters sent may contain tracking pixels. The pixel is embedded in emails and allows an analysis of the success of online marketing campaigns.

Also, this allows the Website to adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the user. This behavior will not be passed on to third parties.
