We measure the number of visits, the number of pages viewed as well as visitors' activity on the site and their frequency of return. This helps us improve our website and its functionality, for example, by ensuring that users can navigate it intuitively, or making sure that content is easily accessible and clear. These cookies do not store any personal information that could be used to identify you.
    • Necessary cookies: Necessary cookies are used to make a website function properly, and are generally not used for tracking. They are often used for user authentication, like the Google Captcha.
    • Marketing cookies: Marketing cookies are used to track users across our website to enhance their overall experience. We use Microsoft Clarity Heatmaps to analyze the most important areas of our website, identify overlooked information, and evaluate button performance.

    • Live-Chat Popups Cookies: We use Tawk.to for chat functionality, so that we can link chat conversations together to provide a better service.
    • YouTube Cookies: Embedded videos may set cookies under YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode.
