Unless you have set your browser to refuse cookies, our systems will issue cookies each time you access the site. You can set your preferences in the cookie management panel.

Social media features 

We provide you with functionalities on various social media. You are linked to the selected social network by clicking on the relevant social network symbols to exercise the chosen functionality, e.g. to share content on Facebook. To do this, however, you need to log in to your corresponding user account, or already be logged in.

A direct link between your browser and the server of the relevant social network is established if you choose one of the functions made available and click on the symbol of the relevant social network. The network thus receives the information that you have visited our website with your IP address and consulted the link. When you consult a link to a network while you are logged in to your account in the network concerned, the contents of your site may be linked to your profile in the network, which means that your network may attribute your visit to our website directly to your user account. If you wish to prevent this, you should log out before clicking on any links. An attribution will always occur if you log in to the relevant network after activating the link.

 

Link to our social media 

We have integrated links to our social media profiles on our website. You will automatically be transferred to our profile on the relevant network by clicking on the corresponding social network symbols. To use the functions of the relevant network, you may need to log in to your user account with the relevant network.
