Cookies policy

As part of our activities, we use cookies to ensure the proper functioning of our website and to monitor and analyze traffic on our website. The use of cookies is regulated by the ePrivacy Directive along with the GDPR.

Below you will find detailed information about the rules for storing and accessing information on your devices using cookies. By "devices," we mean the electronic devices through which you use our website.

If you consent to the use of non-essential cookies, this will allow us to analyze the use of our website. Additionally, we may carry out various marketing activities based on your interactions with the website, other marketing channels, and third parties such as social media platforms.

1. What cookies are and why they are necessary

A cookie consists of a key and a value and is managed by the user's browser, often stored in a database. Cookies help recognize users during sessions, for example, to provide platform functionalities. They can also enhance the security of a website. Cookies can also be used for basic analytical functions.

Thus, some cookies are essential for a website, while others are not (functional, analytical, behavioral advertising). Essential cookies do not require the prior consent of the data subject, whereas non-essential cookies may only be used with the prior consent of the data subject, in accordance with the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive. 

The website may not display correctly without essential cookies, or some sections may not function properly. Essential cookies enable the basic functionalities of our website and its security. Essential cookies can only be avoided through appropriate browser settings. Session cookies are only used during your session. They are stored on your device until the browser session ends. Once the session is over, they are permanently deleted from your device's memory. 

Non-essential cookies that we use are employed for analytical and functional purposes and are stored on your device for the mentioned storage period. They remain on your device until the end of the storage period. These cookies are not deleted from your device after the browsing session ends or after shutting down the device. You can manually delete these cookies through your browser's data privacy settings.


Cookies can also be distinguished based on whether they are controlled by the website owner (so-called first-party cookies) or by a third party (so-called third-party cookies). 

First-party cookies are managed by the website being accessed at the time and can only be read by that website.

 Third-party cookies, on the other hand, are managed by third parties. A third party is a provider of a tool. When one of these third-party tools is loaded, the browser adds to the request all the cookies stored on the same domain as the tool. A third-party cookie can only be generated on the server from which a file is retrieved.
