According to its lifetime, a cookie is either a:

- First-party cookies, which are set by the web server of the visited site and have the same domain, in this case our domain.
- Third-party cookies, which are stored by another domain in the domain of the visited page. They are set by a third party, partners contracted by us. These external partners, to the extent that they use cookies, are responsible for the cookies they use. We recommend that you read their Privacy Policies.
Apart from these characteristics, cookies can be classified in terms of how they work:
- The least privacy invasive type of cookies are Essential or Necessary cookies. These cookies are essential or necessary to ensure that a website works properly and is secure so that you can navigate a website and use its features. Without these cookies, certain features of a website would not function, and thus you would not be able to use certain services. They are strictly necessary for your navigation, consequently they do not require your prior consent. These cookies are NOT managed by our Pop-Up Consent Tool.
- There are also Functional cookies or sometimes called convenience cookies. These cookies allow a website to remember the options a user has made (including user ID`s stored, consents given, or languages selected) and other personalization options you have selected when browsing. You are free to accept or reject them, but if they are blocked, there is a possibility that the service choice you previously made will not be saved.
- Further there are also Analysis and performance cookies, which are used to monitor and improve the function and service of a website. Those can track down problems when using a website, facilitate online surveys, record visitor numbers, and provide analytics metrics. You are free to accept or reject them, but if they are blocked, less information will be available to us to improve the performance of its website.
- Lastly, advertising cookies or targeting cookies. They are used to deliver customised advertising to the user. This can be very convenient, but also very annoying. The use of these cookies requires your prior consent.
