Embedded videos
YouTube videos are loaded in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com) and Vimeo videos with the “do not track” option. This way they do not set tracking cookies when you visit the page. If you play a video, the platform processes your data under its own privacy policy.
How to accept, reject or change your choice
When you arrive on the website, we show you a notice where you can accept all cookies, reject the ones that are not necessary or choose by category. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, cookies that are not necessary are only set if you accept them. In other countries they are set by default and you can turn them off at any time.
We keep your choice for 12 months. You can change it at any time here: Cookie settings. You will also find the “Cookie settings” link in the footer. If you withdraw your consent, we delete the analytics and marketing cookies that the website is able to delete.
To be able to prove your choice, we keep a record with a random identifier, the date, the categories you chose, the language, the page, your shortened IP address (without the last block) and your browser type. We keep it for 36 months.
Providers and international transfers
The provider of each third-party cookie is shown in the table. Some of them, such as Google, may process data outside the European Economic Area. When they do, they use the safeguards provided for in the GDPR, such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. You can read their privacy policies: Google and Instagram.
How to block or delete cookies in your browser
