2. INTRODUCTION

This Cookie notice provides you with information about cookies we use, and for which purposes we use them. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time here. This Notice is applicable always when you use our Webpage, therefore you must read it each time before you use the Webpage and adjust your cookie preferences.

3. WHAT ARE COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES?

Cookies are small pieces of information, normally consisting of just letters and numbers, which are provided when you are visiting a website. Software on your device (for example a web browser) can store cookies and then send them back to the website next time you visit. In general, Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user’s device. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to owners of the website. Without cookies, or some similar method, websites would have no way to “remember” anything about visitors, such as how many items are in a shopping basket or whether they are logged.
Functions usually performed by a cookie can be achieved by other means. This could include, for example, using certain characteristics to identify devices so that visits to a website can be analyzed. Such technologies that store or access information on user’s device could include, for example, scripts, tracking pixels, web beacons, fingerprinting techniques, etc.
In this Notice we will use single term “Cookies” to refer to cookies and similar technologies.

4. WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE THERE?

Cookies can be of different types, for instance:
(a) “Session” and “persistent” cookies – “Session cookies” are those that expire at the end of a browser session (normally when you exit your browser). “Persistent cookies” are those, that can be stored for longer. Session cookies allow a website to recognize and link the actions of a user during a browser session. They can be used for different purposes, for instance, remembering what a user has put in their shopping basket as they browse around the site. Cookies can also be used for security purposes, such as when a user logs into their account. These session cookies expire after a session ends, so would not be stored beyond this.
Persistent cookies are stored on user’s device in-between session. They can allow the preferences or actions of the user across a site (or across different websites) to be remembered. Persistent cookies also may be used for different purposes including remembering user’s preferences and choices when using a site or to target advertising. The length of time between a cookie being set and expiry us set by the website operator. A user can also delete previously set persistent cookies manually or configure the browsing settings to delete cookies at a set interval.
(b) “First-party” and “third-party” cookies – Whether cookie is “first” or “third” party refers to the website or domain placing the cookie. First-party cookies are set directly by the website the user is visiting (i.e., the URL displayed in the browser’s address bar). Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one the user is visiting (e.g., by online advertising network, social media platforms, etc.). This typically occurs when the website incorporates elements from other sites, such as images, social media plugins or advertising. When the browser or other software fetches these elements from the other sites, they can set cookies as well.
