This Policy is a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “you” or “your”) and this Website operator (“Operator”, “we”, “us” or “our”). You should read this Policy so you can understand the types of cookies we use, the information we collect using cookies and how that information is used.

What are cookies?
Cookies are datasets that are saved on your computer or other devices when websites are loaded in a browser. Cookie information is, depending on the browser and implementation, stored in several local databases. They are widely used to remember you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”).
Session cookies are temporary cookies that are used during the course of your visit to the Website, and they expire when you close the web browser.
Persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences within our Website and remain on your desktop or mobile device even after you close your browser or restart your computer. They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for you while visiting the Website and Services.
Cookies may be set by the Website (“first-party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the Website (“third party cookies”). These third parties can recognize you when you visit our website and also when you visit certain other websites.
What type of cookies do we use?
Technical or functional cookies
Technical and functional cookies ensure that the website works properly and that your user preferences are stored . This allows us to offer you the best possible experience when accessing and navigating through our Website and using its features. For example, you won’t need to indicate your cookie preferences each time you visit the Website. We may place these cookies without your consent.
a) WordPress User Cookies
WordPress activates a number of cookies in the admin area of our website. Given that visitors have no access to the admin area these cookies are excluded.

b) Matomo
We do use Matomo to collect aggregated data for statistical purposes on how our visitors use the Website. This data is used to help us improve your user experience of the Website.
Matomo is an open source web analytics platform. A web analytics platform is used by a website owner in order to measure, collect, analyse and report visitors data for purposes of understanding and optimizing their website. If you would like to see what Matomo looks like, you can access a demo version at: https://demo.matomo.cloud.
We have configured Matomo with the goal to protect your personal information as much as possible:
- Our specific Matomo configuration does not use tracking (analytical) cookies.
- Our website honours the ‘Do not Track’ feature of modern browsers.
- Fingerprints change daily for every visitor meaning no visitor can be followed across days within the same website, and no user profiles can be generated when cookies are disabled.
- Visits log and visitor profile features are disabled.
- The last two bytes of visitors IP addresses are anonymized.
- User IDs are replaced with a pseudonym.
- Referrer URLs are not recorded. Only the type of referrer is still detected.
- The aggregated data is not used for any other purpose than analytics.
- Visitors are not tracked across websites.
Because statistics are being tracked anonymously and only if the ‘Do not Track’ feature is deactivated, we do not ask for explicit consent, but offer an opt-out option.
Matomo places the following technical cookie.
