2. What types of cookies do we use?

1. Functional cookies These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They ensure that you can log in, that your preferences are remembered, or that forms are sent correctly, for example. No consent is required for these cookies.
2. Analytical cookies We use analytical cookies to measure and improve the use of the website. We use tools such as Google Analytics to collect anonymous statistics about visitor behavior. This data helps us to improve the structure, navigation, and content of the website. Where possible, we anonymize this data (e.g., by masking the last part of the IP address). If we use tracking functions that could lead to identification, we first ask for explicit consent.
3. Tracking and marketing cookies With your consent, we may place cookies to show you relevant advertisements on other websites based on your behavior on our site. These cookies are often placed by third parties such as advertising networks or social media platforms (e.g., Meta, TikTok, or Google). You can refuse these cookies without affecting the functioning of the rest of the website.
4. Embedded third-party content We sometimes use embedded third-party content, such as YouTube videos or Google Maps. These platforms may place cookies on your device when you view their content on our site. We have no control over the cookie policies of these third parties. We recommend that you consult their statements.
