Personal data and cookie policy
The purpose of this privacy policy is to help you gain an understanding as to what data we collect, why we collect it and what we do with it. This is important in order for us to comply with the conditions set out in the new personal data ordinance (GDPR) which came into force on 25 May 2018.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
GDPR establishes a new framework for how personal data is processed and how we think about our right to privacy. The purpose of the General Data Protection Regulation is to strengthen and unify data protection rules and rights for the benefit of EU citizens. It applies to all organizations within the EU and to organizations outside of the EU which deliver goods or services to the EU, or which use tracking technologies (such as cookies or tracking pixels) to monitor the behavior of EU citizens.

Generally, these technologies allow our website to save relevant data in your browser or device and then later read these data so that our servers or internal systems can identify you. Where appropriate, we protect our cookies and other similar technologies to ensure that only we and/or our authorized service providers can interpret them. We do this by assigning them a unique identification that is designed to be read only by us.
