Managing and disabling cookies and withdrawing your consent

There are two ways to manage your cookie preferences and you may need to refresh your page for the settings to take effect:

  • Consent management tool – Cookiebot

To manage your cookie preferences, we use the cookie consent tool Cookiebot from the company Usercentrics. With this solution you can always inform us about your cookie preferences.  When you visit our websites you are presented with banners, pop-ups and sliders to manage your cookie consents.  Cookiebot can be used at any time to customise your cookie preferences in respect of our websites.  Cookiebot will record when you have consented to cookies.  It specifically controls the preference cookies, statistic cookies and marketing cookies set by using our website.  Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled, nor can Cookiebot be used to block 3rd party cookies on third-party websites linked from our websites. These 3rd party cookies can be blocked using the method outlined below (Browser Settings).

You can update your cookie preferences by clicking on the set cookie preferences link at the bottom of our websites.

  • Browser settings

Almost all browsers allow you to completely block cookies, remove existing cookies, or alert you to cookies, to prevent them from being placed on your device. You can find more information in the documentation or in the help file of your browser or at www.aboutcookies.org.

Please note that blocking cookies can significantly affect the use of the website. Some of our websites functions cannot be offered without the use of cookies.

When storing cookies, a distinction is made between so-called session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are deleted after leaving our website. Persistent cookies have different lifespans, which you can find in the cookie overview within the Cookiebot cookie banner. You can always delete cookies set in your browser via your browser settings.
