What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that may be sent to and registered on your computer by a website you visit, to then be re-sent to the same site when you visit it again. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the Website owner (in this case, GNTEQ) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the Website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the Website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognise your computer both when it visits the Website in question and when it visits certain other Websites.
There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, which may be stored on your computer for different periods of time: “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser, and “persistent cookies”, which will remain on your device until their pre-set expiration period passes.
Why do we use cookies?
Thanks to cookies, a website can “remember” your actions and preferences (e.g., login data, language, font size, other display settings, etc.), so that you do not need to configure them again when you next visit the website, or when you change pages within the website.
According to the law which may be applicable to you, your consent may not always be necessary for cookies to be used on a website. In particular, “technical/necessary cookies” – i.e. cookies which are only used to send messages through an electronic communications network, or which are needed to provide services you request – typically do not require this consent. This includes browsing or session cookies (used to allow users to login) and function cookies (used to remember choices made by a user when accessing the website, such as language or products selected for purchase).
On the other hand, “profiling/marketing cookies” – i.e., cookies used to create profiles on users and to send advertising messages in line with the preferences revealed by users while browsing websites – typically require specific consent from users, although this may vary according to the applicable law.
Types of cookies that are used by the Website
- Necessary cookies, which are strictly necessary for the Website’s operation, and/or to allow you to use the Website’s content and GNTEQ services made available via the Website.
- Preference cookies, which are used to activate specific website functions and to configure the Website according to your choices, to improve your experience.
- Statistics cookies, which allow GNTEQ to understand how users make use of the Website, and to track traffic to and from the Website.
- Marketing cookies, which are used to observe the preferences you reveal through your use of the Website and to send you advertising messages in line with those preferences.
GNTEQ also uses third-party cookies – i.e. cookies from websites / web servers other than GNTEQ ‘s own website, which are owned by third parties. These third parties will either act as independent data controllers from GNTEQ regarding their own cookies (using the data they collect for their own purposes and under terms defined by them) or as data processors for GNTEQ (processing personal data on GNTEQ’s behalf). For further information on how these third parties may use your information, please refer to their privacy policies:
