Cookie Categories
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or completing a payment. Because these cookies are required for the site to operate, they do not require your consent under the GDPR or CCPA/CPRA.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to measure and analyse how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited most often and whether users encounter errors. All data collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. They help us improve site performance and user experience. These cookies are only placed with your explicit consent.
Marketing and Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set by our advertising partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites. They work by uniquely identifying your browser and device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. These cookies are only placed with your explicit consent.
Similar Technologies
- Pixel Tags (Web Beacons) — Tiny, transparent images embedded in web pages or emails. When loaded, they confirm whether content was opened and record basic interaction data (e.g., time, IP address, browser type). We use pixel tags to measure the effectiveness of communications and to improve content delivery.
- Local Storage — Your browser's built-in storage mechanism that allows us to save preferences and small amounts of application data on your device. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not sent to the server with every request, and it persists until explicitly cleared.
- Software Development Kits (SDKs) — Code libraries integrated into mobile applications that collect device information, app usage statistics, and performance data to help us improve functionality across platforms.
- Digital Fingerprinting — A technique that analyses your device's technical attributes (such as screen resolution, timezone, and browser settings) to generate a unique device identifier. We use digital fingerprinting strictly for security and fraud-prevention purposes. It falls within the "strictly necessary" category and does not require separate consent, as it is essential to protect the integrity of transactions and prevent unauthorized access.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, a consent banner allows you to accept or reject each category of non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" button located in the footer of every page on our website.
Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled because they are fundamental to the operation of the site. For all other categories (Analytics, Marketing and Advertising), you may grant or withdraw consent at any time through the Consent Manager.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
