1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve their efficiency, and to provide information to the site owners.

Cookies can be “session cookies” (deleted after you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (stored for a defined period or until you delete them). Cookies can also be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services (“third-party cookies”).

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

  • To provide and operate basic functions of our website (e.g. navigation, security).
  • To remember your cookie consent choices.
  • To analyse the use of our website and improve its performance (only with your consent).

Non-essential cookies (e.g. analytics cookies) are only set if you have given your explicit consent via our cookie banner.

3. Cookie Categories

Our cookie banner (CookieYes) groups cookies into categories. The banner always shows the current list of cookies and their storage periods. Below is an overview of the categories we may use on this website.

3.1 Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the basic operation of the website and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions such as setting privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in providing a secure and functional website).

3.2 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable additional features and personalisation, such as remembering your settings or preferences. If these cookies are deactivated, some parts of the website may not function properly.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (your consent), where applicable.

3.3 Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website (for example, which pages are most popular, how long visitors stay, and which links are clicked). We use this information to improve our content and user experience.

On this website we use Google Analytics, which is loaded via Google Tag Manager and only after you have given your consent in the cookie banner.

The service is provided by:

Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House, Barrow Street
Dublin 4, Ireland

Google Analytics sets cookies that may include, in particular:

  • _ga – used to distinguish users; typical storage period: 2 years
  • _gid – used to distinguish sessions; typical storage period: 24 hours
  • _gat (or similar, e.g. _gat_gtag_*) – used to throttle request rate; typical storage period: 1 minute

These cookies collect information such as:

  • Pages visited and navigation paths
  • Interactions with content (e.g. clicks, scroll depth)
  • Approximate location (country/city)
  • Browser and device information
  • Referrer URL (previous page visited)
  • IP address (shortened/anonymised before storage where technically supported)

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (your consent).

You can withdraw your consent to analytics cookies at any time with effect for the future by using the “Cookie Preferences” link in the footer of our website and changing your settings.

3.4 Performance Cookies

Performance cookies are used to measure and improve the performance of the website, for example by counting visits and traffic sources. If we use such cookies, they will be listed individually in our cookie banner.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (your consent).

3.5 Advertising Cookies

Advertising cookies are used to display relevant advertisements based on your interests. At present, we do not intentionally use advertising cookies on this website. If this changes in the future, the cookies will appear in the cookie banner with details of their providers, purposes and storage periods.

Legal basis (if used): Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (your consent).

4. Consent Management (CookieYes)

We use CookieYes as our consent management platform. When you visit our website for the first time, a banner is displayed that allows you to accept all cookies or configure your preferences.

CookieYes stores your consent choices in a dedicated cookie so that the banner does not appear on every visit and your preferences are respected.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by clicking the “Cookie Preferences” link in the footer of our website.

5. Managing and Deleting Cookies

You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. The procedures differ depending on the browser. You can usually find instructions in the help function of your browser or on the website of the provider.

Please note that if you block or delete cookies, some parts of our website may not function properly.

6. Legal Bases

  • Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – legitimate interests for technically necessary cookies (operation, security, basic functions).
  • Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR – consent for all non-essential cookies (e.g. analytics, performance, advertising).

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if we introduce new cookies or services. The latest version is always available on this page. We recommend that you review this Cookie Policy regularly.
