THE COOKIES WE USE
When trying to understand cookies, it can help to know the following terminology:
· 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.
· Optional cookies. These cookies are non-essential for the website to function and require your consent. When it comes to optional cookies the following distinctions are made:
○ Functional cookies sometimes called convenience cookies. These cookies allow a website to remember the options a user has made (including user IDs stored, consents given, or languages selected) and other personalization options you have selected when browsing.
○ 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.
○ Advertising cookies or targeting cookies. They are used to deliver customized advertising to the user. This can be very convenient, but also very irritating.
We utilize cookies, and other online identification technologies such as web beacons, or pixels to provide users with an improved user experience.

We also use Hotjar, a web analytics service provided by Hotjar Ltd, to better understand usage patterns, and the needs of our users and to optimize our services and user experience. Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect information about user behavior and user devices (in particular, a device's IP address (which is collected and stored in anonymized form), screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information, geographic information (on a country-by-country basis only), preferred language for viewing our website). Hotjar stores this data in a pseudonymized user profile. Neither Hotjar nor we will use this information to identify individual users, nor will the data be merged with other data about individual users. The legal basis for the processing is your consent.
Microsoft Clarity
We use the "Clarity" service provided by Microsoft Corporation. Clarity enables an analysis of the use of our website. This creates a log of mouse movements and clicks with the intention of deriving potential improvements for the website. The information collected is transmitted to Clarity and stored there. According to Microsoft, this information can also be used for advertising purposes. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest and your consent.
Google Ads
We use Google Ads, an online advertising program forming part of Google Marketing services and provided by Google LLC. Google Ads places a cookie (“conversion cookie”) on your computer if you access our website via a Google advertisement. These cookies have limited validity, do not contain any personal data, and thus are not used for personal identification. If you visit our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can see that you have clicked on the advert to reach our website. Every Google Ads client contains a different cookie, so cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Ads clients. The information collected using conversion cookies is used by Google to create conversion statistics for Ads clients who have opted for conversion tracking. These statistics show us the total number of users who have clicked on our adverts, and also which of our websites the relevant user subsequently visits. We do not receive any information that would enable us to personally identify you. The legal basis for the processing is your consent in conjunction with our legitimate interest.
YouTube Videos
We have integrated videos from YouTube. The integration requires that YouTube can perceive the IP address of the user. The IP address is required in order to send the video content to the user's browser. If you click on a YouTube video on our website, your internet browser will be prompted to download a corresponding representation of the video and also place certain cookies. In this way, YouTube knows which specific sub-pages you have visited. The legal basis for the data processing is our legitimate interest and your consent.
Pixel Cookies and Tags
We use so-called Pixel Cookies and Tags (“Pixel Cookies”). A Pixel Cookie is an advertising tool and typically consists of a JavaScript code snippet that allows us to understand and track visitors' activity on our website. For this purpose, Pixel Cookies collect and process information about visitors of our website and the device used (so-called event data).
Event data collected through Pixel Cookies is used for targeting our advertisements and improving ad delivery and personalized advertising. For this purpose, the event data collected on our website by means of Pixel Cookies is transmitted to the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie and in part, also stored on your device. However, this only happens with your consent, and we and the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie are considered joint controllers. Nonetheless, for the subsequent processing of the transmitted Event Data, the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie is the sole controller.
