This Cookies and Similar Technologies Policy supplements our Candidate Privacy Policy to give
you a detailed explanation on how we use cookies and similar technologies to process device
data on our Careers Website.
Cookies
In order to make the visit of our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we
use so-called cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of the
cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after closing your browser

browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). If you don’t like cookies to be used on your
device, you can configure your browser to decline the use of cookies altogether. Not accepting
any cookies may limit the functionality of our website.
Similar technologies
Cookies are not the only way to process device data online. There are similar technologies, like
web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels", “pixel tags” or "clear gifs"). These are tiny
graphics files that contain a unique identifier enabling us to recognize when someone has
visited our website. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one
page within our website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand
whether you have come to our website from a third-party website, or to improve performance. In
many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining
cookies will impair their functioning.

pseudonymized usage and website traffic analysis, however, without identifying any individual
users.
