Cookies also enable us to deliver more personalised content.

Those cookies are set by us and called first party cookies. We also use third party cookies - which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting - for our advertising and marketing efforts. More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:

• Session or temporary cookie which is erased when the user closes the browser
• Persistent cookies which remain on the user's computer or device for a pre-defined period
