Categories of cookies we use
Depending on their function and purpose, the cookies we use can be divided into the following categories: 

• Essential or strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are required for the basic functionality of the website. They only contain services that are technically necessary. These services do not involve user consent and cannot be declined. 
• Functional cookies: These cookies serve a variety of purposes in connection with the presentation, functionality and performance of a website. They also improve the visitor’s experience and enjoyment of the website in particular. They enable a website to retain information that has already been entered (e.g. username, location or choice of language) and to provide visitors with enhanced and more personalised features. Functional cookies are used to recall your login details, for example. These cookies cannot track your movements on other websites. 

• Performance cookies: These cookies are used to collect information about how a website is used. This includes how visitors arrived at our website, which pages they open most often, how they navigated our website during their visit, and whether they received error messages on a page. We may also use these cookies to provide us with certain statistical and analytical information, for instance, how many visitors have come to our website. These cookies are used to monitor the level of activity on the website and to improve its performance. 
• Targeting cookies: These enable us or a third party to place ads on our website or on third-party websites that feature products liked by the user. The ads the user sees are therefore more relevant to their preferences or interests. They can also be used to measure the effectiveness of advertising and promotions.
