COOKIE POLICY

What are cookies and what are they for?
A cookie is a simple text file that is saved on your computer or mobile device by the server of a website and only said server will be able to recover or read the content. It contains certain anonymous information and allows the website to remember certain data.

There are different types of cookies that can be defined as follows:

Technical cookies (that DO NOT require your consent) – They are required for the website's operation and to allow you to access its functions (so-called navigation cookies) and are mostly session cookies. We may also use functional cookies that save your preferences and settings to improve your navigational experience in our website (e.g. remember you as registered user of the website when selecting the function ‘Remember me’; link you to the session of the website in the language that you selected or based on the country where you accessed; remember your preferences in terms of whether or not profile cookies are accepted). In order to guarantee their functionality and be able to remember your preferences, these cookies are not deleted at the end of the browser's session. Nevertheless, they have a predefined maximum duration (up to a maximum of 2 years) and they are automatically deactivated passed this period. These cookies and data gathered thereto are not used for additional purposes. Your consent is not required to install technical cookies. They are installed automatically after accessing the website or your request for certain functions (e.g. when choosing the option ‘Remember me’). You may decide to disable them at any time by changing the settings in your browser. However, if you decide to do so, you may not be able to view our website properly.

Profiling cookies (which require your CONSENT): our website does NOT use so-called profiling cookies, which may be installed only after you have given your consent.

Cookies defined as profiling cookies by the Data Protection Authority may include various categories of cookies, including advertising profile cookies, retargeting cookies, social cookies and analytical cookies that do not limit themselves to aggregate statistical analysis.

(i) Advertising profiling cookies: they create profiles for the user so that you can view advertising messages based on your preferences expressed during your navigation; (ii) Retargeting cookies: they send you advertising to offer you products that are similar to those where interest was shown (for example, they show you products that you have viewed on our website or when you navigate on affiliated websites), or allow you to measure the efficiency of one of ours or third parties' advertising campaign; (iii) Analytical cookies: they keep track of the options selected on the website and of your navigation so that we or third parties can make statistical analysis by keeping track of your preferences or online behaviour, and to offer you personalised messages; (iv) Social cookies: the website also allows some social networks (e.g. Facebook, Twitter) to install their own cookies using their plug-in functions. These cookies are managed directly by said third parties and may be used to make you view advertising messages on other websites based on your preferences.
