29.3. A three-tiered approach is used for cookies requiring User authorization:
29.3.1. Low-impact cookies – The Operator provides detailed information in the Notification and a simple opt-out option. If the User does not opt out, consent is assumed.
29.3.2. Medium-impact cookies – Same approach as low-impact, with additional contextual information provided at relevant Website locations (e.g., near ads or features using cookies).
29.3.3. High-impact cookies – The Operator obtains prior explicit consent (e.g., via a banner or pop-up requiring the User to agree before the cookies are set).
29.4. Cookies used on the Website are assessed as low or medium impact on privacy and can be used based on implied consent. Cookie evaluation is provided in the section “Types of Cookies Used on the Website,” including details on their purpose, lifespan, and how to block them (see “How to Block” column).
29.5. Since the Website may store many cookies on user devices, these are grouped by category (e.g., advertising or analytics), making cookie information clearer and easier to understand for the User.
