6. Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website to operate correctly. They may be used for security, page loading, consent storage, form protection, fraud prevention, spam prevention, and basic technical operation.
These cookies do not usually require consent because the website cannot function properly without them. However, they should only be used for necessary technical purposes and not for unnecessary tracking or marketing.
7. Analytics and Statistics Cookies
Analytics or statistics cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the website. They may help identify which pages are visited, how visitors move through the site, whether pages work correctly, and how the website can be improved.
Where analytics cookies collect or access information on a visitor's device and are not strictly necessary, they should only be used where legally permitted and, where required, after the visitor has given consent.
8. Marketing and Tracking Cookies
This website is primarily a professional information website. Marketing or tracking cookies are not required for the basic operation of the website.
If marketing, remarketing, advertising, social media, profiling, or similar tracking technologies are used in the future, they should be disclosed and should only be activated where legally permitted and, where required, after consent has been given.
9. Embedded Content and External Services
This website may include embedded or externally loaded content, such as fonts, maps, videos, images, forms, analytics, security tools, or other external resources.
External services may set cookies or use similar technologies. Where these cookies are not strictly necessary, they should be managed through consent settings before they are activated.
10. Consent to Cookies
Where required by law, visitors should be asked for consent before non-essential cookies are placed or accessed on their device.
Consent should be freely given, specific, informed, and capable of being withdrawn. Visitors should be able to accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookies by category where this is required or appropriate.
Refusing non-essential cookies should not prevent access to the basic website, although some optional features may not function in the same way.
