They are used to support the operation of websites, to store preferences and, where applicable, to collect information on how websites are used.
Some cookies are necessary for the website to work properly, while others are used only if the visitor has given their consent.
Depending on their function and provider, cookies may contain information that constitutes personal data.
2. Why cookies are used
The website uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- To ensure that it operates properly and securely.
- To store visitors’ basic choices and preferences.
- To collect statistics on its traffic and use.

The website does not use advertising pixels to track visitors for targeted advertising.
3. Categories of cookies
3.1. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are needed for the basic operation and security of the website.
They may be used to support technical functions, keep basic settings and store the visitor’s choices regarding the use of cookies.
Prior consent is not required for their use, provided they meet the conditions of applicable law.
3.2. Analytics cookies
The website uses Google Analytics to collect and analyse statistics on its traffic and use.
This data may concern the pages users visit, the length of their visit, their interactions with the content and technical information about their device or browser.
The purpose of this collection is to assess traffic and improve the website’s operation and content.
These cookies are activated only if the visitor has first given their consent through the cookie management tool.
3.3. Functional cookies
Some features of the website may use cookies to store preferences, such as the selected browsing language, or to support additional features.
Whether prior consent is needed depends on the purpose of use and on whether these cookies are strictly necessary for the service the visitor has requested.
3.4. Third-party cookies
The website may include embedded content from external services, such as YouTube, digital maps and social media.
The providers of these services may use cookies or similar technologies when the embedded content is displayed or interacted with.
Where prior consent is required, the relevant mechanisms are activated only once it has been given.
Third-party services are also governed by their providers’ own privacy and cookie policies.
4. Managing cookies and consent
On the first visit to the website, a cookie notice is displayed, allowing the visitor to:
- Accept optional cookies.
- Reject optional cookies.
- Choose the categories of cookies they consent to.
Strictly necessary cookies are used regardless of consent, as they serve the basic operation of the website.
Declining optional cookies does not prevent access to the main content of the website. It may, however, limit some additional features, such as viewing embedded third-party content.
Visitors can change their choices or withdraw their consent at any time through the website’s “Cookie Settings” option.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before it.
5. Managing cookies through your browser

Most browsers allow you to view, block and delete cookies.
