1.2. This Policy applies together with the website Privacy Policy. Where personal data is processed through cookies or similar technologies, such processing is carried out in accordance with applicable data-protection law.
1.3. Similar technologies include localStorage, sessionStorage, pixels, tags, device identifiers and other technical means that store or access information on a user’s device or link user actions within the website.
2. What cookies are
2.1. A cookie is a small file or piece of data that a website or third-party service may store on a user’s computer, phone or other device when the website is visited.
2.2. Session cookies usually remain until the browser is closed. Persistent cookies may remain longer until their stated expiry, deletion by the user or a change of settings.
2.3. First-party cookies are set directly by the website. Third-party cookies may be set by external services integrated into the website.
3. Why cookies are used
3.1. Cookies and similar technologies may be used for basic website operation, security, storing user preferences, account login, forms, shopping-cart or payment flows, traffic measurement, website analytics and advertising or marketing functions.
3.2. The actual set of technologies used depends on the functionality available on the relevant page and the user’s choices in the cookie settings panel.
4. Categories of cookies
4.1. The website may use strictly necessary, functional and preference, analytics and statistics, marketing and advertising, and third-party cookies.
4.2. A cookie is classified according to its actual purpose rather than its name or provider.
5. Strictly necessary cookies
5.1. Strictly necessary cookies support functions without which the website or an online service expressly requested by the user cannot operate correctly.
5.2. They may be used for security, load balancing, session management, authentication, form protection, storing cookie choices, a shopping cart or other functions expressly requested by the user.
5.3. Such cookies may be used without separate consent to the extent permitted by applicable law. Blocking them in browser settings may prevent certain website functions from working.
6. Functional cookies and preferences
6.1. Functional cookies may remember language, region, interface choices and other user preferences.
6.2. Where a functional technology is not strictly necessary for a service expressly requested by the user, it is used only with consent where consent is required by law.
7. Analytics and statistics cookies
7.1. Analytics technologies may be used to measure visits, traffic sources, page usage, technical errors and overall website performance.
7.2. Where analytics cookies or similar technologies are not strictly necessary, they are activated only after valid user consent has been obtained.
7.3. Analytics data may be processed by the Controller’s own tools or by third-party analytics providers where such tools are actually enabled on the website.
8. Marketing and advertising cookies
8.1. Marketing and advertising technologies may be used to measure campaigns, limit ad frequency, perform attribution, create audiences and display more relevant advertising.
8.2. These technologies are not activated before consent where applicable law requires consent.
8.3. Refusing marketing cookies does not prevent access to the website’s basic functions, although advertising, where displayed, may be less relevant.
9. Third-party services and embedded content
9.1. Certain pages may use third-party payment services, maps, videos, forms, CAPTCHA or anti-spam tools, analytics, social or advertising tools.
9.2. Such providers may set their own cookies or use similar technologies under their own terms and policies.
9.3. Where a third-party service is not strictly necessary, loading that service and transmitting data to it takes place only after the relevant consent where required by law.
9.4. The Controller does not independently determine retention and subsequent processing by third-party providers outside the processing it controls. Further information is provided by the relevant provider.
10. Consent and choice management
10.1. On a first visit, or when a renewed choice is required, the user may be shown a cookie banner or settings panel.
10.2. Users must be able to accept optional cookies, reject them or choose individual categories where such categories are used.
10.3. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and indicated by an unambiguous affirmative action. Continuing to browse the website does not by itself constitute consent.
10.4. Optional cookies are not placed before valid consent where prior consent is required by law.
10.5. A user may change choices or withdraw consent at any time through the cookie-settings mechanism made available on the website or another stated method. Withdrawing consent must be as easy as giving it.
10.6. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
11. Retention periods
11.1. Retention depends on the purpose of the specific cookie. Session cookies are normally deleted after the session, while persistent cookies expire after a specified period or are deleted by the user.
11.2. Actual retention periods may depend on the website configuration and the relevant third-party provider.
11.3. Where the cookie-settings panel contains a list of active technologies, current information on provider, purpose and retention period may be displayed directly in that panel.
12. Personal data and international transfers
12.1. Cookie identifiers, IP addresses, device information and website-usage data may constitute personal data in certain circumstances.
12.2. Processing of such data is governed by the Privacy Policy and applicable law.
12.3. Where a third-party provider processes data outside the European Economic Area, data is transferred only where an applicable legal transfer mechanism and required safeguards are in place.
13. Browser settings
13.1. Most browsers allow users to view, block and delete cookies.
13.2. Blocking all cookies may affect login, forms, payment functions, saved preferences and other functions requiring technical storage.
13.3. Browser settings operate independently of the website cookie panel and may limit the technical ability to remember choices made by the user.
