On this page we explain what cookies are, which cookies our website uses and how you can manage cookie settings on our website.

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Our website uses cookies to improve your browsing experience, personalise content, analyse site traffic and show and target advertisements. If cookies are blocked, the usability of the site may suffer and some functions may stop working.

Collection of cookies on our website

Our website uses different types of cookies. Some of the stored cookies are set by third-party services.

You can change your consent at any time through the cookie notice on our site.

1. Functional / settings / necessary
These cookies are necessary for the basic functions of the website. They make the site usable by enabling basic features such as page navigation and access to protected areas. Without these cookies the website cannot function properly.

2. Analytics / statistics
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the website. They help us understand which pages and sections are popular, how visitors move around the site and how they find it. This helps improve how the site works and the user experience.

These cookies are used to track visitors across different websites. They help show advertisements that are relevant and interesting to the individual user and therefore valuable to publishers and third-party advertisers.

Managing cookies on our website

When you arrive on the site, you see a cookie banner at the bottom of the page where you can choose one of three options: ‘Accept all’, ‘Continue with necessary only’ and ‘Settings’.

Accept all
As the text says, this choice allows the website to use all cookies.

Continue with necessary only
This choice lets the website use only the cookies necessary for it to work.

If you have already saved your cookie settings, the banner is not shown by default. In that case a ‘Cookie management’ button is shown at the bottom left of the page; clicking it reopens the banner so you can change your settings.

In addition, different browsers offer different ways to block and delete cookies used by websites. You can change your browser's settings to block or delete cookies.
