Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies itsmarian uses on this website, why they are used, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside the Privacy Policyand the Terms of Use, which together govern your use of this website.

By continuing to use this website, you confirm that you have read and agree to the use of cookies as described below. If you do not agree, you may manage or disable cookies via your browser settings or leave the website.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (e.g. computer, smartphone or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on future visits and remember information such as your language preferences or login status.

When you first visit a website, the web server sends a cookie to your browser, which stores it locally. On subsequent visits, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, allowing the website to recognise you and retain your settings. Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot access other data on your device.

Cookies fall into two categories based on how long they are stored:

• Session cookies: These are temporary and are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your session while you navigate the site.
• Persistent cookies: These remain on your device after your browser is closed, for a defined period of time. They are used to remember your preferences across visits.

I use the following categories of cookies on this website:

• Necessary cookies: Essential for the basic operation of the website and cannot be disabled. They ensure security, enable navigation, and support core features such as login and consent management. These cookies are set on the basis of my legitimate interest to operate the website.
• Preference and personalisation cookies: Allow the website to remember your choices (such as language, region or display settings) and provide a more personalised experience. These require your consent.
• Analytics and statistics cookies: Collect anonymised information about how visitors use this website, such as which pages are visited most frequently. This data is used solely to improve the website. These require your consent.
• Third-party cookies: Set by third-party services integrated into this website (e.g. Google Analytics, embedded content). These providers may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy policies. These require your consent.

This website does not serve third-party advertising. The "Marketing and Advertising" cookie category does not currently apply. Should this change in future, this policy will be updated accordingly and your consent will be sought before any such cookies are placed.

The use of cookies on this website is governed by applicable data protection law, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Necessary cookies are used on the basis of my legitimate interest in operating a functional and secure website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). All other cookies are placed only on the basis of your explicit, freely given consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you may withdraw at any time.

You can review and change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking "Change Cookie Preferences" in the footer of any page on this website.

You may also manage or delete cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, and to be notified when a cookie is set. Please note that disabling certain cookies — in particular necessary cookies — may affect the functionality of this website. The following links provide guidance for common browsers:
