What is a Cookie?
Cookies are small files of letters and numbers stored on your browser or device that enable the cookie owner to recognize the device when it visits websites or uses online services. The cookie contains a unique code that allows us to recognize your browser during your visit to our website (called a “session” cookie), or later at repeated visits (called “persistent” cookie). Each cookie is unique to your web browser. The website you visit may set cookies directly, known as first-party cookies, or may trigger cookies set by other domain names, known as third-party cookies. While we may automatically use some cookies that are strictly necessary to provide the services you request or enable communications, we request your consent for all our other cookie uses.
Types of Cookies We Use
We may use the following types of cookies:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies. Our website requires the use of these cookies to properly operate or provide necessary functions relating to the services you request. They include, for example, cookies enabling you to securely log into our website or adjusting your consent preferences. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. These are persistent cookies that generally last one (1) year.
- Functionality Cookies. These cookies enable helpful but non-essential website functions that improve your website experience. By recognizing you when you return to our website, they may, for example, allow us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name, or remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region). These cookies may enable visitor identification over time, but not across different websites. These are persistent cookies that generally last up to one (1) year.
- Analytical Cookies. These cookies allow us and our third-party service providers to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us improve how our website works by, for example, ensuring that users can easily find what they need on our website. These cookies may generate aggregate statistics that are not associated with an individualized profile and are persistent cookies that generally last up to two (2) years.
- Performance Cookies. These cookies allow us and our third-party service providers to understand and analyze key performance indexes of the website. This helps us deliver a better experience for users on the website. These cookies may generate aggregate statistics that are not associated with an individualized profile and are persistent cookies that generally last up to two (2) years.
- Advertisement Cookies. These cookies enable different advertising related functions. They may allow us or our third-party services providers to record information about your visit to our website, such as pages visited, links followed, and videos viewed so we can make our website and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. These cookies may also allow us and our third-party service providers to analyze the effectiveness of ad campaigns. Finally, these cookies may enable visitor identification across websites and over time. We may also share the information with third parties for similar purposes. These are persistent cookies that generally last three (3) months.
Except for strictly necessary cookies, all first-party cookies set by this site will expire no later than two (2) years after your last website visit. Third-party cookie expiration periods are set by their respective owners.
Please see our Cookie Table for a list of the individual first party and third-party cookies potentially used on this site and their specific purposes.
Your Cookie Choices
Please visit our consent manager tool to make or manage your cookie use preferences. You may withdraw your consent for our cookie uses that are not strictly necessary at any time by re-engaging the consent manager tool.
Most web browsers allow you to directly block all cookies, or just third-party cookies, through your browser settings. Using your browser settings to block all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, may interfere with proper site operation.
Processing Details
We use cookies in accordance with the purposes described in our Cookie Policy.
The use of essential or necessary cookies ensures data security on our website and that you can use the website without technical problems.
In addition, we use non-essential cookies, which are placed by us or third-party providers. For example, non-essential cookies are used by us to access, analyze, and store information such as the properties of your terminal device as well as certain personal data (IP address, usage behavior). The use of non-essential cookies relates in particular to marketing and analytics cookies, which allow us to understand user behavior in order to provide you with a relevant user experience or to personalize the content on our website. We store Personal Information for the retention periods stated in our Cookie Policy, which in no case exceed two (2) years.
We use a consent management service on our website. As part of this, we store date and time of the visit, browser information, consent information, information about the terminal device, and the IP address of the requesting end device. We delete your personal data when they are no longer required to achieve the purpose of their processing. This is usually the case after three (3) years, starting with the end of the year in which the data was collected.
Cross-Border Data Transfers
The cookies we use may process, store, or transfer personal data in and to a country outside your own, with privacy laws that provide different, possibly lower, protections. You consent to processing, storing, or transfer when you consent to our cookie use. We are based in United States.
