WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie is a small text file that contains Internet settings. The next time you visit this website from the same device, the cookie and the information it contains will either be sent back to the original website (first-party cookie) or to another website to which it belongs (third-party cookie). In doing so, the website may detect that it has already been opened on that browser, and in some cases it will then vary the content it displays.
Almost all websites use cookie technology. Some cookies are useful because they improve the user experience. Cookies speed up navigation through our website, remember information so you don’t have to enter it every time you visit our website, help us provide you with personalized content, and allow us to learn about your visit, among other things.
Some cookies we use require your consent, while others are exempt.
types of cookies that very brand uses
Our website may use certain types of cookies such as: strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies and functional cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies are essential to allow you to move around the site and use its features. These temporary cookies last only as long as your browser is open and are used for technical purposes such as enabling better navigation on our website. Without these cookies, the services you have requested could not be provided; for example, remembering your previous actions (e.g., text entered) when you return to the page in the same session. Once you close your browser, the cookie disappears.
Performance cookies are stored on your computer for longer periods of time and are used for purposes such as tracking the number of unique visitors to our website and other information such as how many times a page is viewed, how long a user spends on a page, and other relevant web statistics. These cookies do not retain any personally identifiable information. The information collected is aggregated, and therefore made anonymous. These cookies are used solely to improve the performance of the website and therefore the user experience.
Functional cookies allow the website to record information that has already been entered (such as usernames, language choices, and location) so that it can offer you enhanced and personalized features. Functional cookies are also used to enable features you request, such as video playback. These cookies collect anonymous information and cannot track your movements on other websites.
Third-party cookies: We may use third-party service providers to help us provide certain statistical and analytical information. For example, third-party cookies are used to measure site performance, events, and visitor activity to ensure that the website meets user needs and to help us make improvements to navigation, search, and content. We rely primarily on Google Analytics for this purpose.
GOOGLE ANALYTICS
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information on our behalf as the website operator for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
In case IP anonymization is enabled on the site, your IP address will be truncated within the area of the European Union ( EU ) Member States or other parties to the European Economic Area ( EEA ) Agreement. In exceptional cases only, the entire IP address must first be transferred to a Google server in the USA and will be truncated there. IP anonymization is active on the website. The IP address that your browser transmits within the framework of Google Analytics will not be combined with other Google data. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use all the features of the website.
