LEGAL DOCUMENTATION

Cookie Policy

Cookies are bits of information that a website transfers to a user's device to store information about the use of the site. When you visit this website, our web server sends cookies to your mobile device or computer to make your viewing experience simple and efficient. On this website, we use cookies to recall your prior visits to the site, which means we can see the number of individual visitors we have on the site so we can optimize our site hosting. We also compile basic statistical information concerning your use of the site. We do not use cookies to personalize areas of the promotional content and/or layout of the different pages on the site, nor do we use cookies to find out which areas of the site are the most popular to our visitors/users. We use the following cookies on this site:

Necessary cookies

Required

These cookies are required for the Site to function and cannot be switched off. They do not track you for analytics or advertising. They include the cookie that records your consent choice itself.

The Site sets no other cookies of its own.

Spam protection on the demo request form (Google reCAPTCHA). To protect our demo request form from automated abuse, we use Google reCAPTCHA, provided by Google Ireland Limited. reCAPTCHA loads only when you interact with the form — not while you browse the Site. When it loads, Google sets cookies from the google.com domain. We classify this protection as necessary for the form to function; however, we want to be transparent that some of these cookies are also used by Google for its own purposes, including advertising personalisation on Google services. Details are described in Google's privacy policy

Cookie NameExpiryDescription

SOCS13 monthsStores the state of a user's choices regarding Google's own cookies

If you are signed in to a Google account in your browser, Google may also set or access its own account cookies (such as SID and the __Secure- family) when its services load. These cookies belong to your relationship with Google, are governed by your Google account settings and Google's privacy policy, and are not controlled by this Site.

Analytics cookies

Optional

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site — which pages are visited, how long visits last, and where visitors come from. When Analytics consent is granted, we send only the normalized host of the referring page, never its path or query string, with our page-view events. We classify it as search, social, referral, direct, or internal, and keep the normalized host separately so the classification can be revised. The direct category also includes visits where browsers, mobile apps, messaging clients, email, or security policies do not provide a referrer; it should not be treated as definitive direct attribution. This analytics data is not collected when Analytics is declined. Analytics cookies are set only if you allow the Analytics category.

We use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google Ireland Limited. Information on how Google processes this data is available in Google's privacy documentation.

Targeting cookies

Optional

These cookies relate to embedded third-party content and advertising services. They are set only if you allow the Targeting category, or — for embedded videos — when you deliberately play a video.

Embedded videos (YouTube). Some pages include YouTube videos. While you browse, only a preview image is shown and no YouTube code loads. If you choose to play a video, the player loads from YouTube's privacy-enhanced domain (youtube-nocookie.com), which is designed not to set cookies before playback begins. When you play a video, YouTube may store information in your browser (cookies or similar technologies such as local storage) to provide the player and measure playback. These identifiers are set by Google/YouTube and are described in Google's privacy and cookie documentation.

Advertising services. We use Google Ads for campaign measurement and remarketing. These services load only with your Targeting consent, and this policy is updated with the specific cookies in use.
