Some cookies may collect information that is subsequently used by third parties and that, for example, directly supports our advertising activities (so-called "third-party cookies").

You cannot be identified from this data.

The cookies used on our site can be divided into two main types. Short-term cookies, so-called "session cookies", are deleted as soon as you finish your visit to our site. Long-term cookies, i.e. "persistent cookies", remain stored on your device for much longer, or until you remove them manually (how long cookie files stay on your device depends on the cookies themselves and on your browser settings).

Cookies can also be divided, according to their function, into:

• analytical, which help us improve the usability of our site by understanding how users use it
• conversion, which let us analyse the effectiveness of various sales channels
• tracking, which, in combination with conversion cookies, help analyse the effectiveness of various sales channels
• remarketing, which we use to personalise advertising content and target it correctly
• session, which are essential to the functionality of the site
