Cookie Policy

I. What are "cookies" and local data storage ("cookies" and similar technologies)?
"Cookies" are small text files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit websites. First-party cookies are those set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are those used by domains other than the one you are visiting.

Similar to "cookies", local storage technology allows websites to store information on a computer or mobile device. Local storage is usually persistent and, unlike "cookies", the data in local storage is not automatically transferred over the internet every time the website that stored it is visited.

II. How do we use "cookies" and similar technologies?
We use "cookies" and similar technologies on our Website to:

• improve the performance of the respective websites and user experience,

• measure exposure to advertising and online media, such as determining when, how often, and on which websites certain online ads, media, and other content are displayed on your device.

III. Types of cookies:
Our Website may use the following types of "cookies":
(1) Essential cookies:
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. We use these "cookies" for example:

• to establish the authenticity and identity of our users when they use our Site so that we can provide our services;

• to fulfill our obligations and maintain the security of our services.
  (2) Performance and functionality cookies:
  These cookies are not strictly necessary but allow us to personalize your online experience with our Internet pages. We use these cookies for example:

• to remember your preferences so that you don't have to re-enter information you have already provided (e.g., when entering your access data to our services);
  (3) Advertising cookies:
  We use these cookies, for example:

• to obtain information about how you use our Internet pages, such as pages you visit or how you respond to ads, to provide you with ads tailored to you;

• to determine which parts of our Sites are most popular;

• to monitor the use of our services and our Sites (frequency and duration);

• to track the success of a product;

• to determine how often you and other users visit our Sites;
  Often, these cookies aim to provide ads tailored to you - both on our Sites and beyond. This type of advertising is known as "interest-based advertising". Many of these types of cookies belong to our service providers.
  (4) Session cookies:
  We may also use session cookies, for example:

• to allow you to move between the different pages of our Site without having to log in again. This practice is known as "single sign-on";

• to recognize you when you return to our Site to use our services;

• to collect answers to tests to display your results;

• to save responses to a once-completed survey form (so you don't have to repeatedly fill out the survey form).

How do we use cookies?
We use cookie information to make our Internet pages more enjoyable and easy to use for users and to provide you with personalized experiences on our site.

IV. Third-party cookies:
We also use some third-party cookies as part of our services. These cookies are managed by the respective sites and are not controlled by us.

V. How to delete cookies?
You can choose whether to accept cookies or not. If you want to know when your computer receives a cookie, you can set your browser to notify you of this. This gives you the opportunity to accept or reject a given cookie. Your computer can be set to reject all cookies. To learn how to do this, visit aboutcookies.org. Please note that changes to your browser that disable the cookie function will prevent parts of our Sites from functioning properly, including login and playback functions.

VI. Changes to our Cookie Policy:
Any future changes to our Cookie Policy will be posted on this page. All changes take effect immediately, except for existing customers, for whom these changes take effect 30 days after posting, unless otherwise stated.

VII. Can website users block "cookies"?
Yes, you can change your browser privacy settings to block all "cookies"; however, this can seriously affect the functionality of the website and its use by you, as many websites may not function properly. Your browser may give you the option to delete all "cookies" when closing it. However, this option also deletes persistent "cookies" that can store your preferences and personalized settings on the websites you visit regularly. You may keep the "cookies" you wish, as your browser may allow you to specify which sites always allow or disallow using "cookies".

VIII. Where can I find more information about "cookies"?
