COOKIE POLICY

This website uses cookies to provide a better user experience for its visitors and to ensure that it is fully operational.

What is a cookie?

In order to provide a personalized and efficient service to our users, it is necessary to remember and store information about how this website should be used. To do this, we use small text files called cookies that contain small amounts of information downloaded to the computer or other devices of our users through a server. Subsequently, your internet browser sends these cookies back to the website on each subsequent visit, allowing recognition and memorization of the identity of our visitors, including the usage preferences of our users. You can find more detailed information about cookies and how they work here. Browsing this website allows the collection of information using cookies and other technologies (e.g., web beacons, tags, scripts, local storage).

This Cookie Policy is part of our Privacy Policy. For more information about us and how we protect user information, please see our Privacy Policy.

Cookies we may use and why

When we use cookies on our website, we may place them into one of the following categories:

“Strictly Necessary Cookies” are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions taken by you and which correspond to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms.

“Analytics and Performance Cookies” allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our website. They may be set by us or by third parties (e.g., Adobe, Akamai, Brightcove, Qualtrics) to help us know which pages or videos are the most and least popular and to see how visitors move around the website.

“Functional Cookies” allow the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization based on your interaction with the website. They may be set by us or third parties, such as Adobe, whose services we have added to our pages.

“Advertising and Targeting Cookies” may be set through our website by our advertising partners, such as Adobe. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other websites.

“Social Media Cookies” are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the website to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. These cookies are capable of tracking your browsing across other websites and building a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit.

To view the list of cookies used by our website, click on “Manage cookie preferences” at the top of this page.

How long do cookies stay on my device?

The length of time cookies stay on your device depends on whether it is a “persistent” cookie or a “session” cookie. A persistent cookie will be stored in a web browser and will remain valid until the expiry date set unless deleted before that date. On the other hand, a session cookie will be deleted at the end of your web session when the web browser is closed.

How to control cookies?

You can control and manage cookies in multiple ways. We inform users that removing or blocking cookies may affect their user experience and may limit access to some areas or functionalities of this website.

Where cookies are not strictly necessary for the operation of our website, we will ask for your consent to our use of cookies on your first visit to our website. Consent can be given or withdrawn by clicking on “Manage cookie preferences” at the top of this page.

You can also change your browser settings to manage and control cookies. You can find more detailed information on how to do this at http://www.aboutcookies.org/.

Any consent to accept or reject cookies is limited to the website where this Cookie Policy is located and not to other websites or pages that may have been linked to our website. For more information on how cookies are used by these websites, please refer to the specific privacy and cookie policies of those websites.

Email Communications

We may also use tracking technologies to determine whether our visitors have read, clicked on links, or forwarded certain communications sent by us via email, in order to assess the relevance of our communications. If our users disagree with this approach, they should unsubscribe, as it is not possible to send these emails without these active tracking mechanisms. Registered subscribers can update their communication preferences at any time by contacting us, or they can unsubscribe by following the instructions in the communication email we send to their email address.

Changes to the Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy may be revised at any time, at our discretion. When such changes are made, the revision date at the top of the page will be changed. The amended Cookie Policy will come into effect from the revision date.

We recommend users of our website to periodically review the Cookie Policies in order to stay informed about our cookie management.
