1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website work, remember your preferences and understand how visitors use it. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, local storage and scripts. In this policy, "cookies" covers all of these.
Cookies set by us are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by other companies, such as analytics or social media providers, are called third-party cookies. Some cookies last only until you close your browser (session cookies), while others stay on your device for a set period (persistent cookies).

All other cookies, including analytics, functional and marketing cookies, are only placed if you choose to accept them. You can accept all, reject all or choose by category, and you can change your choices at any time by clicking [Cookie settings] in the footer of every page.
