We use first party cookies, third party cookies and third party requests. First party cookies are cookies set by us and can only be read by our site.

We use these types of first party cookies: session, http only, secure and persistent.
Third party cookies are set by third parties, mainly advertising networks. These cookies get re-read during a visit on other sites if they do business with these companies as well. For example, we may use cookies for advertising functionality from Facebook.
Third party requests are made from a user to an external service. Despite the fact that these requests don't set any cookies, they can still transfer information to third parties. For example, Google Analytics – a common tool for website analysis – which works through third party requests.
You may manage cookies in the settings of your web browser. Note that blocking cookies might stop our website from functioning properly.
