• personalize your content (e.g., language);
• make the Platform more user-friendly.

When You visit the Platform, We will ask Your computer or mobile device for permission to store these files on Your device and access information from it.

You won’t be seeing Cookies disclaimer until Cookies will be deleted (by You or automatically deleted due to Your browser settings).

• CONSENT TO THE USE OF COOKIES 

Cookies that are only used when You give Us permission to do so are not strictly necessary to make the Website accessible. You give Your consent to the usage of Cookies as soon as You voluntarily accept it through the notification on Our Website. 

You should be covered by the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Commission if You have been living in the EU or are a citizen of the EU. The legality of this data processing is governed by Art. 6 (1) (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Commission in cases where You have given agreement to the use of Cookies based on a notice published on Our Website. 

Naturally, You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject Cookies. But remember that there are essential Cookies, which cannot be rejected.  Please, read more in the section  “How to manage the Cookies”.

• WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?

The Platform uses Cookies, like most other online services do, for several reasons, including visitor tracking, figuring out which interests are popular in a particular location, understanding User’s behavior, helping to identify the most popular features and content, improving User’s experience, ensuring the security of Our Platform, and giving You a better experience. 

We use marketing cookies to present you with ads and other personalized content. This includes reaching out to you through our advertising partners. 

Cookies may also be used in our marketing emails (which you may receive if you have provided us with your consent to contact you in that way) to enable us to review how users interact with our marketing. This helps us tailor it more appropriately and make it more user-friendly. We may use Cookies for any other purpose in accordance with the general practice of using Cookies.

We assure You that all information collected through cookies are used by Us only for the purposes indicated in this document, and in no case cookies are harmful to You or the device You use, since they do not introduce any configuration changes in it.

Below is a general description of cookies that may be used on our website:

1. Essential or Strictly Necessary: these Cookies are necessary for the Platform to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by You which amount to a request for Services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms.
2. Social Media: these Cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

4. CONTROL FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

You can turn on the Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) function or set it in the majority of web browsers, some mobile operating systems, and mobile applications to express Your privacy desire not to have information about Your online browsing activity tracked and collected. When You enable this feature, the browser sends a signal to websites that the user visits to not store cookies on their device. Do Not Track is a request and not a legal requirement. Hence, it is not necessary that websites adhere to it, i.e., DNT on its own is not effective enough to stop websites from tracking users.

Browsers like Firefox and Chrome provide DNT settings. Here’s how to enable it on your browser:

Firefox > Preferences > Privacy & Security. Then under Send websites a “Do Not Track” signal that you don’t want to be tracked, enable Always.

Chrome > Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data. Then enable Send a “Do not track” request with your browsing traffic.

6. WHAT ABOUT OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES, LIKE WEB BEACONS?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

7. DO WE USE FLASH COOKIES OR LOCAL SHARED OBJECTS?

Websites may also use so-called “Flash Cookies” (also known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”) to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.

If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to “information” on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).

Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.

8. WHO HAS ACCESS TO COOKIE INFORMATION?

Our Company has access to the information collected by Cookies as a Cookie provider. Other services, such as Google, Meta etc. may also have access to Cookie information. These companies have access to Our Cookies’ information because We use their services. The other companies may also get Cookie information, but only in case We use their services. 

9. HOW OFTEN DO WE UPDATE THIS COOKIE POLICY?
