The declaration also shows our website user's current consent state and offers our users the statutory option of changing or withdrawing consent.
Cookie consent banner and control
With our cookies consent banner, our website users are in full control of which cookies are set on your website. Instead of having to opt-in or opt-out at up to several hundred third-party cookie providers, we are offering a simple, general choice on four types of cookies across all cookie providers on our website.
The consent state chosen by our website user is stored on the user's browser as a persistent cookie with a JSON-formatted value that can also be read server-side to evaluate the user's consent before setting cookies.
The banner displays a user-friendly, no-nonsense dialog the first time a user visits our website - no matter what page the user first lands on. The banner informs the user about the use of cookies on our website and asks for consent to set cookies on the user’s web browser, all with minimum impact on the overall user experience. The functionality has been categorised to offer quick and hassle-free visibility and selective consent of cookies.
After consent selection, we will remember the user’s choice for 12 months after which the banner will automatically pop up to renew the user's consent.
Only strictly necessary cookies are set before the user consents. Besides explicit consent, we also support active consent which submits a consent automatically if our website user navigates your website without answering the consent dialog.
