4.1. Strictly necessary/essential cookies
These cookies (session identifiers) are necessary to enable the user to navigate between pages and sub-pages and, where appropriate, to access protected content (e.g. only accessible to registered users). They usually only work for as long as the session (visit or browsing the website) lasts.
4.2. Functional cookies
These cookies are necessary to collect information about the user's website usage habits (e.g. language used). They help us to recognise the user, allowing an easier return to the website without having to log in again. (Once the user logs in, this cookie remains in his/her browser and the website can read it the next time the user logs in.)
4.3 Statistics cookies
Statistical cookies are used to measure the number of visits to the website and the activity of users on the website. We use the information obtained from such cookies mainly to improve and optimise the functioning of our website, making it as user-friendly as possible.
Cookies managed by Google Analytics help us to measure website traffic and other web analytics data. The information collected by cookies is transmitted to and stored on external servers operated by Google.

Hotjar uses cookies to collect data about our users' activities. This information is stored on servers located in Germany, but the service also uses additional data processors located outside the EU (in the USA) to whom the user's IP address may be transmitted.
