General statement on cookies

The Website uses cookies and/or other similar technologies to collect and store certain information. This typically involves pieces of information or code transferred to or accessed from your computer hard drive or mobile device to store and sometimes track information about you, and to distinguish you from other users of the Website.

We use strictly necessary cookies if they are necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or because using them is in our legitimate interests (where we have considered that these are not overridden by your rights). We use all other cookies with your consent.
