What Types of Cookies Are Used on This Website?

Every website uses its own cookies. On our Website, we use the following categories:

According to the Entity Managing Them

First-Party Cookies

These cookies are sent to the User’s device from equipment or a domain managed directly by the Website owner and are necessary to provide the requested service.

Third-Party Cookies

These cookies are sent to the User’s device from equipment or domains managed by third parties that process the data collected through the cookies.

Even if cookies are installed from a domain managed by the Website owner, they are considered third-party cookies if the information collected is managed by another organization for its own purposes, such as improving its own services or providing advertising services to other companies.

According to Their Purpose

Technical Cookies

These cookies are essential for browsing the Website and ensuring its proper operation. They allow functions such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying sessions, accessing restricted areas, processing event registrations, counting visits for software licensing purposes, using security features during browsing, storing video or audio content, and enabling dynamic content such as loading animations.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies allow us to measure the number of users and perform statistical analysis of how visitors use the Website, helping us improve our services and content.

Preference or Personalisation Cookies

These cookies remember information that allows users to access the Website with personalized features, such as language selection, the number of search results displayed, browser type, or geographic region, providing a more customized browsing experience.

According to How Long They Remain Active

Session Cookies

Session cookies are designed to collect and store data while the User is browsing the Website. They are generally used to store information that is only needed during a single browsing session, such as a shopping cart, and are automatically deleted when the browser session ends.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain stored on the User’s device for a period defined by the cookie provider, which may range from a few minutes to several years. During this period, the data can be accessed and processed.

The use of persistent cookies should always be carefully assessed, as privacy risks can often be reduced through the use of session cookies. Whenever persistent cookies are used, their storage period should be limited to the minimum necessary for the purpose for which they are intended.

According to Opinion 4/2012 of the Article 29 Working Party (WP29), for a cookie to be exempt from the requirement of informed consent, its duration should be directly related to its purpose. Consequently, session cookies are generally more likely to qualify for such exemptions than persistent cookies.
