6. Cookies

Cookies are small text files downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or application. Your web browser (such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome) sends these cookies back to the website or application on each subsequent visit, allowing recognition and memory of personalized details.

• Necessary Cookies: Essential for the proper functioning of websites and applications.
• Performance Cookies: Help us understand how users interact with our site to improve performance.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files which are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or application. Your web browser (such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome) then sends these cookies back to the web site or application on each subsequent visit so that they can recognize you and remember things like personalized details. Some of these cookies are necessary in order to run websites and applications properly, others are used to make sure that they are easy to use (for instance remembering your preferences).

Other technologies may be used to recognize you with some likelihood (i.e. distinguish you from other users), such as ‘fingerprinting’. Fingerprinting combines your IP address, the browser you use, screen resolution, language settings and other information that your system tells each server), resulting in a more or less unique fingerprint. This makes it possible to go without cookies.

Google Analytics: Google Ireland Ltd. (located in Ireland) is the provider of the service ’Google Analytics’ and acts as our processor. Google Ireland relies on Google LLC (located in the United States) as its sub-processor (both ‘Google’). Google collects information about the behavior of visitors to our website (duration, page views, geographic region of access, etc.) through performance cookies (see above) and on this basis creates reports for us about the use of our website. We have configured the service so that the IP addresses of visitors are truncated by Google in Europe before forwarding them to the United States and then cannot be traced back. We have turned off the «Data sharing» option and the ‘Signals option’. Although we can assume that the information we share with Google is not personal data for Google, it may be possible that Google may be able to draw conclusions about the identity of visitors based on the data collected, create personal profiles and link this data with the Google accounts of these individuals for its own purposes. In any event, if you consent to the use of Google Analytics, you expressly consent to any such processing, including the transfer of your personal data (in particular website and app usage, device information and unique IDs) to the United States and other countries.
