  • Functionality cookies – these cookies provide functionality that makes using the service more convenient and makes providing more personalised features possible.
  • Analytics cookies – these cookies are used to track the use and performance of a website and services.
  • Advertising cookies – these cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and to your interests. In addition, they are used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement. They are usually placed on the website by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission.
