Cookies
A "cookie" is a small text file that a website saves on the visitor's computer. Many websites use cookies to provide the visitor with various functionalities. The information contained in cookies can also be used to track how the visitor has navigated websites that use the same cookie.
There are two types of cookies. One type stores a file on the visitor's computer for a long time; this cookie has an expiration date. This type of cookie is used, for example, for functions that inform the user about new features since their last visit to the website. Once the expiration date is reached, the cookie is deleted.
The second type of cookie is called a "session cookie" and has no expiration date. This cookie is temporarily stored in the visitor's computer memory while they navigate the website, for example, to keep track of the language the visitor has chosen. Session cookies are only stored on the visitor's computer until they close their browser.
Why do we collect cookies?
We collect cookies on our websites to learn more about the visitors and how our content and services are used. This helps us improve and develop the website. We also offer a location service where visitors can choose to save their location.
Functionality and content
We use third-party features such as YouTube (video playback) and sharing services on social channels, such as Facebook and Twitter. These features use their own cookies. We recommend reading these websites' information about terms of use and cookie usage.
Web Analytics
We use Google Analytics to collect information about visitors, which is done using cookies. We gather information about how the visitor uses the website, which pages they have visited, which website they were redirected from, the number of visits, and the type of device used during the visit. The purpose of collecting this information is to improve and develop the website.
We do not collect any information that can identify the visitor, and we do not disclose the collected information to third parties. We also do not collect any other information about the visitor's visits to other websites. If the browser is set not to accept cookies, no information is stored.
How can I stop the use of cookies?
Cookies can be used when the visitor personally wants to customize the website to their preferences. This may include the design of a frequently visited website, adjusting contrast or font size for ergonomic reasons, and customizing sorting or selection methods. If cookies are disabled, certain services may stop functioning.
Most web browsers can be configured to completely block the use of cookies.
It is also possible to configure the web browser so that the visitor can decide whether to accept each new cookie sent to the computer by a website. Such a configuration means that the visitor is informed about the cookie before it is stored and can choose whether to accept it or not.
