This website uses cookies. The purpose of this Cookie Policy is to inform you about our practices regarding personal data that we collect through cookies and other tracking technologies (including pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs) when you visit our website or similar environments such as mobile web pages or apps (collectively referred to as our “website”).
Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer. Cookies enable us to collect information such as browser type, time spent on the website, visited pages and language settings.

Overview of Cookie Consent Rules
EU law requires organizations that place cookies on users’ computers via websites to obtain user consent, providing clear and comprehensive information as to the manner in which cookies are used on websites.
To meet this requirement, we have taken four steps.
- Listing of the website’s cookies and functionally equivalent tracking technologies, alongside their purposes and related information such as their expiration dates and whether they are internal or in-house cookies.
- Providing information per Section (1) on the data protection implications of the cookies.
- Categorizing the cookies according to their function (see the cookie settings window).
- Explanation of the consent which the cookie type requires.
Consent to Certain Cookies Used on This Website
EU law requires user consent before certain cookies and functionally equivalent tracking technologies (such as tracking pixels and website scripts) can be used. These are collectively referred to as “cookies” in the information provided to you here about the use of these technologies on our website. In particular, we explain to you which cookies require your consent and how you can block the use of certain cookies. You decide how extensively you inform yourself about these cookies and whether you will partially block their use. If you use the website and do not make a selection of certain cookies from us or from our partners, we will interpret that as you providing your consent. Please use our settings window or your browser to make your decision as to how to deal with cookies. You can also use this website anonymously with regard to cookies.
We categorize cookies based on:
- Whether they are set by us or by third parties;
- What data the cookies collect;
- Which purposes they fulfill and;
- The time period they are intended for.
In the case of cookies that require consent, we follow a three-step approach:
- Cookies with low importance for privacy: We will inform you with this cookie policy and offer you a simple opt-out option. If you do not use this option, we assume your consent.
- Cookies with medium importance for privacy: When we set this kind of cookie, we will go beyond the general Cookie Policy and provide extra information on the cookie’s purpose and how it works. If you do not change the settings that allow cookies, we will assume your consent.
- Cookies with high importance for privacy: These are cookies which may involve the collection of health data, which is stringently protected by data protection law. We only use and set these cookies if you have explicitly declared your consent to the purpose and function of the cookie after having received clear information about the purpose and functionality of the cookie.
Please note that due to the significant number of cookies that can be placed by a website today, we have also arranged cookies into categories for your convenience (such as advertising cookies and analysis cookies).
