1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They help us remember your preferences, provide core functionality and improve the user experience. Similar technologies (such as local storage or pixels) may be used for the same purposes.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies on the PAIR website and platform for the following purposes:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: required for basic site and platform functionality (e.g. security, login, session management, cookie preference storage).
  • Functional cookies: to remember your preferences and improve usability.
  • Analytics cookies (optional): to understand usage patterns and improve our product (only used with your consent where required by law).

3. Cookie Categories in the PAIR Banner

Our cookie banner allows you to manage the following categories:

  • Necessary: always active and cannot be disabled, as they are required for the website and platform to function properly.
  • Functional: can be enabled or disabled by you in the banner.
  • Analytics: only set if you actively consent to them.

4. Legal Basis

For strictly necessary cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing a secure and functional website and platform (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

For functional and analytics cookies, where required by law (e.g. in the EU), we rely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie banner or your browser settings.
