Our Website may employ several categories of cookies, each serving distinct functions:

1.3.1 Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary Cookies)

These cookies are absolutely necessary for our Website to function properly and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take that amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging into secure areas, completing forms, or navigating through the site.

Essential cookies enable critical functions including:

• User authentication and session management
• Security features and fraud prevention
• Load balancing across our server infrastructure
• Remembering items you add to inquiry forms as you navigate between pages
• Ensuring secure transmission of data
• Compliance with data protection requirements

Because these cookies are strictly necessary for service delivery, you cannot refuse them through our cookie management interface. However, you can configure your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but please note that some parts of our Website will not function without them.

Examples of Essential Cookies:

• Session identifiers that maintain your connection as you navigate through secure areas
• Security tokens that prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks
• Load balancing cookies that ensure your requests are routed to the same server
• Authentication cookies that verify your identity when accessing protected resources

1.3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, such as which pages are visited most often, how much time is spent on different pages, which features are used, error messages encountered, and navigation patterns. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this information exclusively to improve how our Website works and to understand user behavior patterns.

We may use third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics, which uses cookies to collect standard internet log and visitor behavior information. The information generated by these cookies about your use of our Website (including your IP address, which may be anonymized) is transmitted to analytics service providers, who process this information on our behalf to evaluate website usage, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

Examples of Performance Cookies:

• Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _gid, _gat) that track anonymous user sessions and behavior

• Error tracking cookies that help us identify and resolve technical issues
• Heatmap cookies that show where users click and how they interact with page elements

1.3.5 Social Media Cookies

If our Website includes social media features (such as LinkedIn sharing buttons, Twitter feeds, or embedded YouTube videos), these features may set cookies to track your interaction with social media content, enable sharing functionality, or customize the social media features displayed to you.

These cookies may also enable the social media platforms to track your browsing across different websites and build a profile of your interests, which may affect the content and messages you see on other websites you visit.
