What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and support features that make the site work properly. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the service you request, while others are used for additional features and require your choice. This policy also covers embedded third-party content (iframes), which is explained in a separate section below.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for core website functions and for storing your cookie choices so the site can respect them.
Legal basis: Exempt from consent requirement as strictly necessary for the service requested

Functional Cookies
These cookies support enhanced features, such as remembering certain settings related to embedded content and improving how that content works during your visit.
Legal basis: Requires user consent - blocked by default

Marketing Cookies
These cookies are used to support marketing-related functions, such as measuring interactions with embedded content and enabling advertising-related features. They can involve the use of pseudonymous identifiers across sites and services.
Legal basis: Requires user consent - blocked by default

Embedded Content (Iframes)

Our website includes embedded content provided by third parties through iframes (for example, videos). When you view or interact with embedded content, the provider can set cookies and collect information about your device and interactions under their own privacy policy. We apply the same consent rules to embedded content as we do to non-essential cookies. If you do not consent, embedded marketing content that sets non-essential cookies is blocked by default.

Marketing
We embed third-party content that can set marketing cookies and use pseudonymous identifiers to support advertising-related features and measurement.
Legal basis: Requires user consent - blocked by default

Third-Party Services and Data Recipients

YouTube (Google). We use YouTube to embed video content on our website. When enabled, YouTube processes information (including cookie identifiers and device information) according to its privacy policy. Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Google. Certain cookies associated with embedded YouTube content are provided by Google services. When enabled, Google processes information (including cookie identifiers) according to its privacy policy. Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

We use our own consent management system (Trustwards) to record your cookie preferences. The trustwardsCookie stores which cookie categories you have accepted or rejected, ensuring your choices persist across visits. This cookie is strictly necessary for compliance with applicable privacy regulations and consent requirements. Your consent data is processed securely and is not shared with third parties unless legally required.

International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers are located outside EU/EEA:

- Google (including YouTube): Headquartered in the United States. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF).

We recommend reviewing each provider's privacy policy for detailed information about their data protection measures.

- Trustwards: Data is processed on our own infrastructure. No international transfer occurs unless explicitly stated.

Legal Basis for Processing

Strictly Necessary cookies are exempt from the consent requirement because they are strictly necessary for the service you request and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings tool. All other cookie categories (including Functional and Marketing) require your consent under the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR; these cookies are blocked by default and are only activated after you provide explicit consent through our cookie settings. For California residents, where cookies involve “selling” or “sharing” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under the CCPA/CPRA, you have the right to opt out; our cookie settings allow you to control these technologies.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can choose which cookie categories to allow and change your choices at any time. Non-essential cookies are blocked by default until you provide consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time, and this will apply going forward. To manage your cookie settings, use the cookie settings link in our website footer.

How to Control Cookies in Your Browser

You can also control cookies through your browser settings, in addition to our cookie settings tool.
To view and delete cookies, use your browser’s privacy settings and clear browsing data (including cookies and site data).
To block cookies, you can usually choose to block all cookies or only third-party cookies; you can also allow cookies for specific sites.
Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies (and Clear browsing data).
Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data (and Enhanced Tracking Protection).
Apple Safari (macOS): Safari > Settings > Privacy (and Manage Website Data).
