This document clarifies what these technologies are, the reasons we use them, and how you can exercise your rights regarding our use of these technologies.
Occasionally, we may employ cookies to gather personal information, which becomes personal data when combined with other information.
What are cookies?
Cookies are tiny files placed on your computer or mobile device upon visiting a website. Commonly used by website operators to ensure their websites function properly or to improve efficiency, cookies also deliver performance insights.
Cookies created by the website owner are known as “first party cookies.” Those established by others are “third party cookies,” which facilitate third-party features or services on the website (like advertising or analytics). These third parties can recognize your device both when it visits our website and other sites.
Why do we use cookies?
Our use of first and third party cookies serves multiple purposes. Some cookies are essential for technical reasons, allowing our Websites to function properly—these are known as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies help us track and tailor our users’ interests to enhance their experience on our digital platforms. Third parties also place cookies for advertising, analytics, and more, which we outline in more detail.
How can I control cookies?
You hold the right to accept or reject cookies. Manage your preferences through the Cookie Consent Manager, which lets you choose the cookie categories you approve or decline. Essential cookies, however, cannot be rejected as they are vital for providing services.
You can access the Cookie Consent Manager via the notification banner and our website. Rejecting cookies might limit your ability to use certain aspects of our website. You may also modify your web browser settings to accept or refuse cookies.

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?
Besides cookies, we may use other technologies such as web beacons (also known as “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”) to track visitor activity on our Websites. These tiny graphic files include unique identifiers helping us monitor user movement within our website, connect with cookies, and gauge the effectiveness of online advertising and email marketing. These technologies depend on cookies to function effectively, thus blocking cookies may affect their operation.
Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
