I. What are Cookies and Local Storage (Cookies and Similar Technologies)?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit websites. First-party cookies are those set by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are cookies used by other domains different from the website you are visiting.
Similar to cookies, local storage technology, if used, allows websites to store information on your computer or mobile device. Local storage is usually persistent and, unlike cookies, data stored in local storage is not automatically transferred over the internet every time the website that stored it is visited.
II. How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies on our Website to:
-
improve the performance of the respective websites and the user experience,
-
measure exposure to advertisements and online media by determining when, how often, and on which websites certain online ads, media, and other content are displayed on your device.
III. Types of Cookies
Our Website may use the following types of cookies:
-
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to perform its functions. We use these cookies, for example:
-
to verify the authenticity and identity of our users when they use our Site, so we can provide our services;
-
to fulfill our obligations and maintain the security of our services.
-
Performance and Functionality Cookies
These cookies are not strictly necessary but allow us to personalize your online experience with our websites. We use these cookies, for example:
-
to remember your preferences so you don’t have to enter information you’ve already provided each time (e.g., when entering your login details for our services);

Advertising Cookies
We use these cookies, for example:

-
to monitor the usage of our services and Sites (frequency and time);
-
to track the success of a product;
-
to determine how often you and other users visit our Sites.
Often these cookies aim to provide advertising tailored to you — both on our Sites and beyond. These types of ads are known as “interest-based advertising.” Many of these cookies belong to our service providers.
-
Session Cookies
We may also use session cookies, for example:
-
to allow you to navigate between different pages on our Site without needing to log in repeatedly (known as "single sign-on");
-
to recognize you when you return to our Site to use our services;
-
to collect test answers to display your results;
-
to save answers to a once-filled survey form (so you don’t have to fill it repeatedly).

We use the information from cookies to make our websites more user-friendly and to provide you with a personalized experience on our Site.
IV. Third-Party Cookies
We also use some third-party cookies as part of our services. These cookies are managed by their respective sites and are not controlled by us.
V. How to Delete Cookies
You can choose whether to accept cookies or not. If you want to know when your computer receives a cookie, you can set your browser to notify you. This way, you can accept or reject a cookie. Your computer can be set to reject all cookies. For instructions on how to do this, please visit aboutcookies.org.

VII. Can Website Users Block Cookies?
Yes, you can change your browser privacy settings to block all cookies; however, this may seriously affect the functionality and usability of the website, as many websites may not work correctly. Your browser may allow you to delete all cookies when it closes. However, this also deletes persistent cookies that may store your preferences and personalized settings on websites you visit regularly. You can keep the cookies you want because your browser may allow you to specify which sites you always allow or do not allow to use cookies.
