4) TYPES OF COOKIES
To enable you to make a give fully informed consent, we provide below a description of each type of cookie and its purpose:
- Technical cookies: these allow users to browse a website, platform or application and use the various options or services it provides, including management and operation of the website and enable its functions and services, such as, for example, session identification, access to restricted areas, remembering the items in a purchase order, performing the order purchase process, managing payment, etc. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, which is why they are considered essential and do not require your consent.
- Preference or personalisation cookies: these allow the website to remember information that changes the behaviour or appearance of the website, so that individual users can access the service with certain features differentiating their website usage choices from those of other users, such as, for example, language, number of results to be displayed in a search operation or user’s region. When users choose these features for themselves, for example by ticking a particular language flag, this is considered as an expressly requested service, provided the cookies are exclusively for the selected purpose of personalisation. Like the technical cookies, these cookies do not require your consent.
- Analysis or measurement cookies: these cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the web pages and make a statistical analysis of usage of the services provided. The information thus collected is used to measure activity on the website or app so that the products and services offered can be improved.
- Marketing or behavioural advertising cookies: these cookies store information on users’ behaviour obtained by tracking their browsing habits. This allows a specific profile to be developed to display relevant and attractive advertising for each individual user, which is therefore more valuable for third-party advertisers.
We use first- and third-party technical, personalisation, analytical and advertising cookies for the purposes set out in the following cookie statement:
| TYPE | NAME | PURPOSE | EXPIRY | FIRST/THIRD-PARTY |
