Types of cookies we use

These cookies are necessary for our website to function properly. The website cannot operate effectively without them. They enable basic functions like page navigation, form submissions, and secure areas access.
Functional cookies
These cookies remember choices you make (such as language preferences or location) and provide enhanced, personalised features. The website will work without them, but some functionality will be limited.
Analytics cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website, which pages are most popular, and identify possible issues. This helps us improve our website and your experience. These cookies collect anonymous data about user behaviour.
Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies track browsing habits and are used to deliver more relevant advertising. These cookies may be set by us or by our advertising partners.
Cookie duration
Cookies can last for different periods of time:
Session cookies
These temporary cookies remain on your device until you close your browser. They help our website remember what you've done during your visit.
Persistent cookies
These cookies stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually. They help us recognise returning visitors and remember your preferences for future visits.
Legal basis for using cookies
Different privacy regulations apply depending on your location:
European Economic Area (EEA) and UK
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR, we require your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. When you first visit our website, you'll be asked to accept or decline different types of cookies through our cookie banner.
United States
While there is no federal cookie law, state laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) require transparency about data collection and provide rights to opt out of the “sale” of personal information, which may include information collected by cookies.

We comply with applicable data protection laws in all jurisdictions where we operate, including in Singapore and the Netherlands.
Managing your cookie preferences
You have several options to control cookies:
Our cookie settings banner
When you visit our website for the first time, you will see a cookie banner. This banner allows you to:
-
Accept all cookies – This will enable full functionality and help us enhance your experience by collecting analytics and personalisation data; or
-
Reject all but essential cookies – This will allow only the cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function properly.
If you close the banner without making a selection, the banner will appear again the next time you visit the site. This ensures you have the opportunity to set your preferences whenever you are ready. You can adjust your cookie settings at any time by clearing your cookie's cache and re-entering the website to bring up the cookie preferences banner.
Browser settings
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, delete cookies, or alert you when cookies are being sent. However, if you disable certain cookies, some parts of our website may not function properly.
Be aware that disabling cookies will affect the functionality of many websites you visit. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not disable cookies unless you are sure you don't need them.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are placed by third parties on our website, such as analytics providers (like Google Analytics), advertising networks, and social media platforms. We do not control how these third parties use cookies, so we recommend reviewing their privacy policies for more information.
