2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small pieces of data that a website asks your browser to store on your computer, laptop or mobile device when you visit a website or certain pages of that specific website. The cookie allows that website to "remember" your actions or preferences over time and apply them on subsequent visits, for example, your preferred language.
Cookies usually contain the name of the website from which the cookie came, how long the cookie remains on your device (the expiration date) and a value that is usually a randomly generated unique number.
A distinction is made between strictly necessary cookies and other cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the website, for example, for the security of this website and its accessibility. Under the applicable legislation, we are not obliged to ask your permission for the use of such cookies.
A further distinction based on category can be made based on the specific purpose of the cookie. For each of these categories (unless they are strictly necessary) we will ask for your consent.
Cookies can be divided into the following categories:
(a) Permanent cookies and session cookies: the task of a permanent cookie is to recognize the web browser for the purpose of repeated visits to the website, while the task of a session cookie is to recognize the web browser during the visit to the website. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device. Session cookies are deleted at the end of each session.
(b) First Party Cookies and Third Party Cookies: First Party Cookies are set by the website itself. Third Party Cookies are set by websites other than our website. This happens when our website contains elements of other websites, such as social media plugins or any advertisements placed on our website.
(c) Performance cookies and functional cookies: performance cookies monitor how the visitor uses the website. This enables the website manager to adjust and optimize the content and ease of use of the website (for example: how many people have visited the different pages on the website and which language is most popular among visitors). Functional cookies are cookies that remember your preferences when you use the website, such as your chosen language, and cookies that make the website more user-friendly and improve your user experience.
Cookies will not always contain personal data, but may contain information that can lead to your identification, in which case such a cookie will be treated as personal data. To the extent a cookie can be considered personal data, our privacy policy applies. More information on privacy, data protection and your rights can be found in our privacy policy.

4. MANAGEMENT AND BLOCKING OF COOKIES
When visiting this website, the visitor is informed (by means of a pop-up) which cookies are used by us and we ask the visitor to consent to the use of each of them. You can manage or delete cookies at any time through the settings of your Internet browser, which allows you to refuse some or all cookies, with the exception of the strictly necessary cookies, since these cookies are essential for the visitor to be able to view the website and its functions. Disabling cookies limits the service we can provide and may affect your user experience. Deleting cookies may result in you having to manually adjust your preferences each time you visit our website.
