With your consent, our advertisers place tracking cookies on your equipment. They use these cookies to keep track of the pages from their network you visit, in order to create a profile of your online browsing behaviour. This profile is partly created on the basis of comparable data they receive from your visit to other websites in their network. This profile is not linked to your name, address, email address and the like, as known to us, but only serves to tailor advertisements to your profile, so that they are as relevant as possible for you.
