We distinguish between first-party and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are set by us when you access our website. Third-party cookies are set by other websites.

3.1  Functional cookies

Functional cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation features, such as videos and live chats.

Targeting cookies are integrated into our website by third parties such as advertising partners. The cookies only identify the browser and the end device you used to access our site.

All information collected with performance cookies is stored in aggregated or pseudonymised form.

The cookies we use on our websites do not contain information such as name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, bank account or credit card information.
