We may also use pixels, web beacons, device fingerprints and other tracking technologies. For the sake of consistency, all these techniques combined will be hereafter referred to as “cookies”.

 

3. why are cookies used?

The cookies used on this Site can be categorized in four ways: (1) required and functionality cookies; (2) analytics cookies; (3) social media cookies; and (4) targeted advertising and behavioural tracking cookies. Each of these is further explained below.

 

 

 

3.1 required and functionality cookies

 

Required cookies are essential in order to enable you to navigate the Site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the Site.

These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing purposes.

 

Functionality cookies allow the Site to remember the choices that you make, such as your user name, language preference, or the region that you are in. The Site then uses that information to provide enhanced features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes that you have made to text size, font, and other parts of the Site that you can customize. They do not gather any information about you that could be used for advertising or remembering where you have been on the Internet.

 

Examples of required and functionality cookies include cookies for:

• remembering products that you add to your shopping basket during online purchasing

 

• remembering information that you fill in on the various pages when paying or ordering so that you don't have to fill in all your details repeatedly

 

• passing on information from one page to the next, for instance if a long survey is being filled in or if you need to fill in a large number of details for an online order

3.4 targeted advertising and behavioural tracking cookies

These cookies collect several pieces of information about your browsing habits.

We may use targeted advertising cookies for:

• the websites to record your visit and, as a result, to assess your interests

• a check to be run to see if you have clicked on an advertisement

• keeping track of how many visitors click on an advertisement

• information about your surfing behaviour to be passed to other websites

• third-party services to be used to show you advertisements tailored to your needs, interests or preferences

• determining which advertisements, ad technologies and ad networks are most effective for us

• showing you advertisements about products you have previously clicked on, searched for or otherwise shown interest in (retargeting)

• keeping track of which advertisements you have already been shown so that you are not always shown the same ones

• more interesting advertisements to be displayed on the basis of your social media usage

• you to submit questions or reviews about our products and, on the basis thereof, be presented with advertisements more likely to be of interest to you

• reviews submitted by you to be repurposed as product recommendations on other pages

• you to be connected with online authorized retailers, to be informed about price, availability and purchase conditions of the product of your interest and keep track of your purchase preferences

• determining which advertisements you clicked on, before performing a purchase on our website

• keeping track of how many orders are placed by way of the advertisement, as well as their monetary value

• you to receive direct marketing e-mails tailored to your interests (if you have opted-in to receive such e-mails) or direct marketing e-mails about similar products as those which you have already purchased (if you have not opted out of receiving such e-mails).

• matching multiple devices (e.g. phone, tablet, laptop) to a visitor so that it can be tracked if an ad on one device may have triggered an action (such as a purchase) on another device (known as ‘cross device tracking’).
