This Website uses Trackers managed directly by the Owner (so-called “first-party” Trackers) and Trackers that enable services provided by a third-party (so-called “third-party” Trackers). Unless otherwise specified within this document, third-party providers may access the Trackers managed by them.
The validity and expiration periods of Cookies and other similar Trackers may vary depending on the lifetime set by the Owner or the relevant provider. Some of them expire upon termination of the User’s browsing session.

Targeting Cookies


Targeting cookies, also known as advertising cookies or tracking cookies, are a type of HTTP cookie used by websites and online advertisers to collect and store user data for the purpose of delivering personalized advertisements and content. These cookies are designed to track a user's online behavior, including their browsing habits, interests, and interactions with websites, in order to create a profile or user persona.

The primary function of targeting cookies is to serve users with advertisements that are more relevant to their interests and preferences. This is achieved by analyzing the data gathered from a user's previous online activities and tailoring advertising content accordingly. For example, if a user frequently visits sports-related websites, targeting cookies may enable advertisers to display sports-related ads when the user visits other websites.
