Your privacy is important to us

To protect your privacy, we have taken measures to avoid identifying you when you are not logged in. For example, your IP address is encrypted so that, in principle, it is impossible for us to trace who you are. When we process data that can be directly or indirectly linked to you as an individual, we inform you of this in our Privacy Policy..

  • You can choose to not consent to us using certain types of cookies through our cookie tool.
  • If you choose to give your consent, you can always withdraw your consent in the cookie banner and the cookie tool on our website. Such withdrawal will take effect for the subsequent period.

Marketing

To display relevant marketing
If you consent
We use cookies to display relevant marketing when you visit other websites or social media platforms, and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing. We do this using the various marketing services listed below. These tools mean that you will see search results and advertisements from us based on the analysis of how you have used our website and other information that our providers have about you (known as ”profiling”).
 
It is often possible to choose how each marketing service is allowed to adapt the marketing shown to you. Here you can make choices about the marketing you see from Google and here you can find information about making choices for the marketing you see on Facebook.
If you block/delete these cookies, you will see less relevant marketing content.
