Using cookies
22. Certain websites employ an industry-wide technology called cookies. On this website we use cookies that are necessary for the use of the website. A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on your computer's hard disk so that the website can remember who you are. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the 'lifetime' of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.
23. Two types of cookies may be used on this website; 'session cookies', which are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the site, and 'persistent cookies', which remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer (though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie).
24. When you visit our website you’ll be sent a cookie. Cookies may be used in the following ways:
To help us recognise you as a unique visitor when you return to our website and to allow us to tailor content or advertisements to match your preferred interests or to avoid showing you the same adverts repeatedly
To compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how visitors use our site and to help us improve the structure of our website. We cannot identify you personally in this way.
25.Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc.. Google Analytics uses cookies to compile anonymous, aggregated statistics as described above. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and Internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
26.We have integrated the Google Tag Manager on our website, an auxiliary service which itself only processes personal data (IP address) for technically necessary purposes. The Google Tag Manager takes care of loading other components, which in turn may collect data. The Google Tag Manager does not access this data. You can find more information about the Google Tag Manager in Google's privacy policy.
27.We also use the Google Signals service to create cross-device user statistics (e.g. numbers, user groups) and to play out cross-device remarketing campaigns for Google users. Google only processes the data of users who have activated the "personalised advertising" option in their Google account settings. You can also object in principle to the collection by Google Signals by deactivating the "personalised advertising" function in your Google account.
How to disable & enable cookies
28.Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but to protect your privacy your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. You do not have to accept cookies. You can decide if you want to accept cookies by changing the settings on your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set.
29.You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying the settings in your browser. However, please note that if cookies are disabled, you may not be able to use all the interactive features of our site. Please note that our web pages may then not be displayed and some functions may no longer be technically available if cookies are disabled.
30.There are a number of ways to manage cookies. Please refer to your browser instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions. For example, in Internet Explorer, you can go to the Tools/Internet options/Security and Privacy Tabs to adapt the browser to your expectations. If you use different computers in different locations you will need to ensure that each browser is adjusted to suit your cookie preferences.
31.If you would rather not allow our storage or access to cookies that may contain your aggregate information then you should make appropriate arrangements to deactivate the cookie function on your web browser.
32.We may also collect the domain name and email addresses of visitors to this website and those that communicate with us via email. We may also collect other aggregate information, e.g. information about the pages users access or visit and the transactions they perform there and any other information volunteered by the user, such as survey information and/or site registrations. We can also identify the web browser that the user is using and the way in which the user has accessed our website, e.g. via a particular hyperlink or link contained within a marketing email.

Embedded videos
41.To ensure that calling up the website with embedded videos does not automatically lead to content from the third-party provider being reloaded, we only display thumbnails of the videos in a first step. This means that the third-party provider does not receive any information.
42.Only after a click on the preview image is the content of the third-party provider loaded. This provides the third-party provider with the information that you have accessed our site as well as the technically necessary usage data. In addition, the third-party provider is then able to implement tracking technologies. We have no influence on the further data processing by the third-party provider. By clicking on the preview image, you give us your consent to reload content from the third-party provider.
43.The embedding is based on your consent, provided that you have given your consent by clicking on the preview image. Please note that the embedding of many videos leads to your data being processed outside Singapore. In some countries, there is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and monitoring purposes without you being informed or having any legal recourse.
Usage data
44.When you visit this website, so-called usage data is temporarily evaluated on the web server for statistical purposes as a protocol in order to ensure the security and utilisation of the server as well as to improve the quality of the website. This data record consists of
