SIRS uses cookies to improve the functionality of the website.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file created when visiting any website. It is used as a standard tool for storing information on how websites are used. This allows us to differentiate (but not specify or identify) individual users from each other and customize website content to suit specific preferences. Cookies are important; without them, browsing the web would be much more confusing. Cookies serve several purposes. On our website, we use the following types of cookies:
Analytical and performance cookies:
These cookies are used to improve the functionality of the website and allow us to make relevant adjustments to enhance the customer experience. Data is collected by a script from Google Inc., which then anonymizes the data. Once anonymized, these cookies no longer constitute personal data, as anonymized cookies cannot be attributed to a specific user or person. We only work with cookies in their anonymized form. Therefore, we cannot determine from cookies how a specific user behaved on our website (which pages they visited, what services they viewed, etc.). The processing of these cookies can also be refused (see below). Insights from these cookies are also used for advertising purposes.
Functional cookies:
These cookies are used to remember your preferences for future visits to our website, such as username, language preferences, etc.
Necessary cookies:
These cookies are essential for ensuring the basic functionality of the website, and without them, the required functionality (e.g., correct page display, session ID, consent settings) cannot be realized.
How to set cookies and manage their settings:
If you wish to set cookie usage on our website, you can easily access the cookie settings from the website's footer (bottom part). Additionally, most common web browsers (e.g., Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari) allow you to enable incognito browsing, which prevents storing data about visited websites, or you can disable cookie storage entirely in your browser settings. However, if you disable the processing of technical and functional cookies, you may prevent the operation of some useful features.
By disabling analytical and performance cookies, you will make it more difficult for us to improve our website. Refusing the processing of functional, analytical, and performance cookies will not prevent access to our website, nor will it result in a refusal of our services. However, by refusing the processing of functional, analytical, and performance cookies, our website may not function entirely correctly, and some features may become unavailable to you. The overall efficiency and availability of our website's features may thus be limited during your browsing.
If you access our website from a mobile phone, tablet, or similar device, our website is optimized for these devices. In such cases, your personal data will be processed in the same way as described above.
Why do we collect and process personal data?
We primarily process your personal data to improve the services we provide, for marketing reasons, and for security purposes.
How long do we process your personal data?
We process your personal data for the entire duration of our relationship, especially to fulfill the services we offer. If the personal data processing is based on consent, your data will generally be processed until such consent is revoked.
