1.1 What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file containing information which is stored on your computer when you visit a website. Cookies can enable the website to remember some of your actions and preferences, so you do not have to re-enter them when you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.
1.1.1 Session cookie
Session Cookies are only stored temporarily in the browser's memory, and are destroyed when it is closed down, although they will survive navigating away from the website they came from.
1.1.2 Persistent cookie
As the name suggests, this type of cookie is saved on your computer so that when you close it down and start it up again, it can still be there.
Persistent cookies are created by giving them an expiry date. If that expiry date is reached, it will be destroyed by the computer. If the expiry date is not set, then it is automatically a session cookie.
For more information about how cookies work, please be referred to https://cookiepedia.co.uk/

On our website and digital products, we use the following types of cookies.

Information obtained through other tracking techniques such as tags and pixels is stored for 12 months.

Google Analytics Google Signals
We have activated the Google signals in Google Analytics. This will update existing Google Analytics features (advertising reports, remarketing, cross-device reports, and reports on interests and demographics) to provide aggregated and anonymized information about you, if you have allowed personalized ads in your Google Account.
The special feature is that this is cross-device tracking. This means your data can be analyzed across devices. By enabling Google signals, data is collected and linked to your Google Account. Google can thus recognize, for example, when you view a product on our website via a smartphone and only buy the product later via a laptop. Thanks to the activation of Google signals, we can launch device-spanning remarketing campaigns that would otherwise not be possible in this form. Remarketing means that we can also show you our offer on other websites.
In Google Analytics, the Google signals also record additional visitor data such as location, search history, YouTube history and data about your actions on our website. This enables Google to provide us with better advertising reports and more useful information about your interests and demographic characteristics. These include your age, what language you speak, where you live, or what gender you are. In addition, social criteria such as your profession, marital status or income are also added. All these characteristics help Google Analytics to define groups of people or target groups.
The reports also help us to better assess your behavior, wishes and interests. This enables us to optimize and adapt our services and products for you. These data expire by default after 26 months. Please note that this data collection only takes place if you have allowed personalized advertising in your Google Account. It is always summarized and anonymous data and never data of individual persons. You can manage or delete this data in your Google Account.
Google Optimize 360
We use Google Optimize 360, an A/B testing service provided by Google Ireland Limited ("Google"). This service allows us to to target groups of visitors on the base of past use of this Website. You are able to opt-out of tracking by Google Analytics and by that will will not be included in experiments created in Google Optimize 360.
