Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Other cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.
2. Consent to the use of cookies
Strictly necessary cookies may be placed without prior consent where they are required for the operation of the website or to provide a service that you have expressly requested.
We request your prior consent before using analytics, personalisation, marketing and other non-essential cookies.
Our cookie settings allow you to:
- accept all non-essential cookies;
- reject all non-essential cookies;
- set your preferences by category;
- change or withdraw your consent at a later date.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of cookies used before your consent was withdrawn.
3. Cookie categories and purposes
Depending on the services active on the website, we may use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the basic operation and security of the website. They may be used to:
- load pages correctly;
- process forms securely;
- store your cookie preferences;
- prevent misuse and security incidents;
- manage a user session.
These cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie settings because parts of the website may not function correctly without them.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies provide additional features and may remember preferences such as your language, region or previously selected settings.
Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, they are only placed after you have provided consent.
