Hexa-X-II Cookie Policy
Hexa-X-II consortium through its’ website and our third-party providers set and use cookies to store and manage user preferences, enable content, gather analytic and usage data, and generally improve your user experience.
This policy sets out what type of cookies we use, how we use them, and how you can control and manage them.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that is placed on a computer or other device and is used to identify the user or device and to collect information. Cookies are typically assigned to one of four categories, depending on their function and intended purpose: strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies, functional cookies, and cookies for targeting and advertising purposes. Cookies can also be classified as either session or persistent cookies. “Session” cookies are deleted once the browser window is closed. “Persistent” cookies remain on your device for a longer period and are used by the website to recognize your device when you return.
Types of cookies and why we use them
Strictly necessary cookies:
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like adding items to the shopping basket, logging in or filling in forms cannot be provided. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of our website will not then work. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.
Performance and statistics cookies:
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular, see how visitors move around the site, and whether they clicked on a link. This lets us know where we are doing well, and where we can improve, as well as making sure the pages load quickly and display properly. Information collected includes, for example, the Internet browsers and operating systems used, the domain name of the website previously visited, the number of visits, average duration of visit, and pages viewed. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our website and will not be able to monitor its performance and enhance your experience. We use services from Google, Adobe and Marin Software to perform these functions.
Functionality cookies:
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation by remembering choices you make (such as your username or ID, language preference, or the area or region you are in). They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video. They may be set by us or by third party providers whose services we have added to our pages. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.
Targeting and advertising cookies:
These cookies track browsing habits and are used to deliver targeted (interest-based) advertising. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. These cookies are not used in Hexa-X-II websites.
