Cookies

A cookie is a small amount of data that is placed on your computer or device when you visit our website. We use a variety of cookies, including functional, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies. Cookies enhance your browsing experience by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login and region selection). This means you don't have to input this information again each time you return to the website or browse from one page to another. Cookies also provide information on how people use the website, for example, whether they are first-time visitors or frequent users.

We use the following cookies to optimize your experience on our website and provide our services.

How long a cookie stays on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a "persistent" or "session" cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing, while persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and expire within 30 minutes to two years from being loaded onto your device.

You can manage and control cookies in different ways. Remember that deleting or blocking cookies may negatively impact your browsing experience, and some parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can choose whether to accept cookies through your browser's control settings, often found in your browser's Tools or Settings menu. For more information on how to modify your browser settings or block, manage, or filter cookies, consult your browser's help file or visit websites such as www.allaboutcookies.org

Additionally, note that blocking cookies may not completely prevent us from sharing information with third parties, such as our advertising partners. If you wish to exercise your rights or opt-out of the use of certain data by these third parties, follow the instructions in the "Behavioral Advertising" section above.
