On subsequent visits, cookies are sent back to the originating website or to another website that recognizes that cookie. We widely use cookies to improve the website’s performance, run more efficiently, and provide valuable information to site owners.
Cookies perform a variety of functions, such as allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your browsing experience. For example, cookies may tell us whether you have visited our Site before or whether you are a new visitor.
Categories of cookies by party

- Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
3. Other Tracking Technologies (Web Beacons, Pixels)
We may also use similar technologies, such as web beacons, tracking pixels, or clear GIFs. These are tiny graphics files containing a unique identifier that help us recognize when someone has visited our Site or opened an email from us. They enable us, for example, to:
- Monitor how users move between pages.
- Understand whether you came to our Site from an online advertisement on a third-party website.
- Measure the success of our marketing campaigns and improve Site performance.
In many cases, these technologies rely on cookies to function, so disabling cookies in your browser may limit their operation.
4. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data via Cookies
When cookies or similar technologies collect personal data such as IP addresses, device identifiers, or browsing profiles, we process this information based on legal grounds outlined in our Privacy Policy, helping you understand what data is involved and why. We may also use similar technologies, such as web beacons, tracking pixels, or clear GIFs, which help us recognize when someone has visited our Site or opened an email from us, supporting transparency and trust.

- Functional cookies: Processed based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) UK/EU GDPR) or our legitimate interests in improving user experience, where no personal data is involved.
- Analytics and performance cookies: Processed based on your consent, where such cookies collect personal data. Where data is fully anonymized and cannot identify an individual, we rely on our legitimate interests in improving Site performance.
- Marketing cookies: Processed solely based on your consent. We will not set marketing cookies before you have given your explicit, freely given consent.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences using the tools described in Section 8 of this policy, ensuring your control and comfort with your data. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal.
