Cookie policy
Introduction
When you visit our website for the first time, we will notify you about our use of cookies and provide you with options regarding their usage. By continuing to browse our site without altering your cookie settings, you consent to our use of cookies. You have the flexibility to modify your cookie preferences at any time. The exact wording of our cookie consent form can be found at the conclusion of this Privacy Policy. Below, we offer a comprehensive explanation of how cookies function, the types of cookies we employ, and their specific applications on our website.
General Explanation of Cookies
Cookies are small data files transferred to your browser and stored on your device when you visit a website. They contain unique identifiers, such as strings, that allow internet pages and servers to recognize the specific browser in which the cookie was stored. This recognition enables websites to identify your browser upon subsequent visits.
Cookies can store various types of information, including browser type, operating system, language settings, personal page preferences, website usage details, order information, and login credentials. While cookies typically do not collect data that directly identifies an individual, the information gathered through cookies can be associated with a natural person when combined with personal data, such as an email address.
On our website, we primarily use two types of cookies:
- Session Cookies: These cookies store information about your activities on our site during your visit and are automatically deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for an extended period, allowing us to recognize your browser upon your return within that timeframe. They facilitate the creation of pseudonymized user profiles and enable us to display personalized offers based on your interests.
When you visit our website, cookies may be set not only by our site (“first-party cookies”) but also by third-party websites (“third-party cookies”). Third-party cookies enable the provision of features and functions from third parties on or through our website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics. Some third-party providers may collect information about your browsing habits across different websites to display ads that better match your interests.
Web Beacons and Similar Technologies
Our website also utilizes web beacons (also known as pixels, pixel tags, or GIFs). These are small graphics embedded in web pages or HTML emails, typically invisible to users. Web beacons are often used in conjunction with cookies to track user interactions with website content or newsletters. For instance, they can help us determine if emails have been opened or if specific links have been clicked, allowing us to identify trends and generate website usage statistics.
Additionally, there may be other technologies that function similarly to cookies and store data in your browser or on your device. While you might not be able to opt-out of these tracking technologies through your browser settings, they usually only operate in conjunction with cookies. Therefore, disabling cookies in your browser will typically also deactivate these technologies. All such technologies are collectively referred to as “cookies” in this document.
Types of Cookies Used on Our Website
Both first-party and third-party cookies are employed on our site for various purposes. Here’s a detailed overview of the cookie categories we use and the reasons behind their usage:
- Mandatory Cookies: These are essential for the proper functioning of our website’s basic features, enabling navigation and the use of specific functions. For example, we use mandatory cookies to uniquely identify registered users so they can be recognized upon return visits or to provide contact forms. These cookies are not used for advertising or profiling purposes and are stored only for the duration of your internet session.
- Tracking Cookies: We utilize tracking cookies to attribute commissions to our business partners. These cookies record whether and when a particular offer was clicked. If you make a purchase from a participating business partner, the cookie identifies you as coming from our website, allowing us to earn our commission. The sole purpose of these cookies is to correctly allocate sales to the respective offers on our site.
- Functional Cookies: These cookies enable you to save your selected settings (e.g., cookie preferences) for your next visit, enhancing your user experience by remembering your choices.
- Performance and Web Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use our website, such as frequently visited sections, peak access times, and error messages received. The data collected is provided to us in an aggregated form and is used exclusively to improve the website’s functionality and performance. These cookies may be placed by us or by third parties acting on our behalf and are stored for the duration of your internet session.
- Advertising and Targeting Cookies: These cookies help us track your browsing habits to provide personalized offers on our website and display interest-based advertisements about our offerings on third-party sites. They record information about your interests in our offers and conduct pseudonymous collection and evaluation, preventing us from identifying you personally. We also use these cookies to control the frequency of ad displays and to assess the effectiveness of our advertisements for statistical and market research purposes.
- Social Media Cookies: Our website may include social network plugins (e.g., Facebook) to allow you to share content with these networks. If you use these features, the social networks may place cookies in your browser for their own promotional purposes.
Your Choices
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can configure your browser settings to reject cookies or to prompt you before a new cookie is created. Each browser has slightly different settings, so please consult your browser’s Help section to learn how to manage your cookie preferences.
If you use multiple devices (e.g., smartphone, tablet, computer), ensure that every browser on each device complies with your cookie settings. Some internet browsers offer the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals. However, unified standards for DNT signals have not been established yet, so our site currently does not process or respond to DNT signals.
Please note that completely disabling cookies may prevent you from using all the features of our website.
By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy, including our cookie practices. We reserve the right to update this policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of any significant changes.
