1. A cookie is a text string sent by a web server (for example, the website) to the user’s Internet browser, which automatically saves it on the user’s computer and automatically sends it back to the server each time the website is accessed. Each cookie contains different data such as, for example, the name of the server it comes from, a numeric identifier, etc. Cookies can remain in the system for the duration of the session (i.e. until the browser used for web navigation is closed) or for longer periods and may contain a unique identifier code. By default, almost all web browsers are set up to automatically accept cookies. However, each web browser allows cookies to be restricted and deleted (for more information refer to the section in this information notice on “How to enable, disable or delete cookies”). However, disabling or deleting cookies may impede the optimum use of some areas of the website or compromise the use of services requiring authentication.

Necessary cookies including Technical Cookies and Functional Cookies:
(i) Technical Cookies are cookies needed for the proper performance of your websites, such as language preference, to be able to login or to detect fraud with your account.
(ii) Functional Cookies remember your preferences. This includes making it possible to retrieve submitted personal data for some event registrations out of the database, or to remain logged in during a browsing session.
Third-party cookies: these are set by a website other than the one the user is actually visiting. While navigating the website, the user may also receive cookies sent from other websites or web servers (so called “third parties”), which may contain certain elements (including, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages from other domains) present on the website the user is visiting. There are two types of Third-party cookies used by us:
(i) Advertising and Marketing/Re-Marketing refers to use of Your Pixel, Insight Tags, Google Display, Floodlight etc.
(ii) Social Media refers to YouTube, Share buttons, embedded content etc.
3. By default, almost all web browsers are set up to automatically accept cookies. These can be restricted or blocked through the browser settings. If you prefer websites not to save certain cookies on your computer, you can set up the browser so that you receive a notification prior to saving each cookie. Alternatively, you can set up your browser to reject all cookies or only third-party cookies. You can also delete all cookies already on the system. It is important to underline that the settings must be changed separately for each browser and each computer. Blocking cookies does not block advertising. These will simply no longer be customized on the basis of your interests and will be sent more frequently. Settings are changed differently for each browser. If necessary, use the browser Help function to define the correct settings.
