3. Which cookies do we use?
We use Cookiebot as our consent management platform. For a live, detailed inventory of every specific cookie, its provider, and its technical expiration date, please refer to the "Cookie Settings" (or "Cookie Declaration") widget at the bottom of our website.
Broadly, we categorize our cookies into three groups:
A. Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)
These are required for the website to function properly (e.g., security, load balancing, and remembering your privacy preferences).
Legal Basis: Legitimate Interest. We have conducted a balancing test and concluded that our legitimate interest in ensuring the security, technical functionality, and accessibility of our website outweighs the limited impact on your privacy.
Mandatory Status: Provision of this data is mandatory for the proper technical functioning of our website. If you block these via your browser, our website may not function correctly or at all.
Consent: Not required.
B. Analytical Cookies
These help us understand how visitors interact with our site by collecting information anonymously. We use tools like Google Analytics (GA4) to see which pages are most popular and where we can improve.
Legal Basis: Consent.
Consequences of Refusal: If you refuse consent for these cookies, we will not be able to analyze site traffic or improve your user experience based on your interaction patterns.
Retention: Typically 6 to 13 months.
C. Marketing & Social Media Cookies
These are used to track visitors across websites to display ads that are relevant and engaging. We may use tools like the LinkedIn Insight Tag to measure our professional outreach.
Legal Basis: Consent.
Consequences of Refusal: If you refuse, you will not receive personalized advertisements or personalized content based on your cross-site browsing behavior.
Retention: Typically 6 to 13 months.
4. Recipients of Data & Third-Country Transfers
Data collected via cookies may be shared with third parties (recipients), such as Google (for analytics) or LinkedIn (for marketing).
Data Sources: The collection of data from non-direct sources is not applicable; cookies are collected directly from your interaction with our website.
Transfers outside the EEA: Some of our partners are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), primarily in the United States. Where such transfers occur, we ensure compliance with GDPR by utilizing Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and additional technical measures where necessary to provide an equivalent level of protection.
5. Automated Decision-Making & Withdrawing Consent
Automated Decision-Making/Profiling: Not applicable. We do not engage in automated individual decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects.
Withdrawing Consent: You can withdraw your previously given consent at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in our footer.
Consequences of Withdrawal: If you withdraw your consent, we will stop placing or reading the relevant cookies immediately. This will not affect the lawfulness of the processing that took place before the withdrawal, but you will lose the personalized benefits associated with those cookies.
6. Managing your preferences
You can manage your cookies via the "Cookie Settings" link in our footer or via browser settings:
• Google Chrome
• Microsoft Edge
