How we use cookies
Some cookies are necessary to allow you to browse our services, use its features, and access secure areas. The use of these cookies is essential for the services to work.

We also use functional cookies to remember choices you've made or information you've provided, such as your email, language, or the region you are in. This allows us to tailor your services experience specifically to your preferences. For example, authentication cookies are functional cookies that are used for the duration of a session (or persistent, if you agree to the “remember me” function) to allow users to authenticate themselves on subsequent visits or to gain access to authorized content across pages. The functional cookies we use include:
- User-centric security cookies to detect authentication abuses for a limited persistent duration, like repeated failed login attempts. These cookies are set for the specific task of increasing thesecurity of the service.
- User interface customization persistent cookies are used to store a user's preference regarding a service across web pages.
