4. How the use of cookies can be managed

You have a couple of ways of controlling which cookies may be placed on your device.

a.  Through privacy setting of your device and the browser application
Every internet device and browser application provide a set of user privacy settings allowing you to customise what personal information may be automatically stored on your device and accessed by other parties.
Each device and each browser have its own way of accessing and handling of those settings. You should locate and review them on your device/browser and adjust them to your preferences.
Please also note that privacy settings of some browsers allow to fully block all types of cookies, including those strictly necessary (essential) to properly display websites and/or to provide their basic functionality. If you choose such option, the websites you visit may not function properly.

b. Through the Cookie Consent tool embedded in our website, which you can see on your screen when you open the site:

• First, the Cookie Banner is presented, explaining what categories of cookies will be allowed when you proceed to the website and giving you some general options to accept or prohibit all cookies in bulk or to go to the Preference Centre by pressing the Cookie Settings button.
• The Preference Centre gives you more information about each category of cookies our website may use and gives you the free choice to allow or prohibit the use of specific categories of cookies (or even cookies sent from a specific source) on your device during current session. The selection you have made and confirmed will be remembered on your current device/browser and you will not be asked to make/confirm your new choices until:
  • 6 months have elapsed since your last confirmation or
  • you have erased all cookies from your browser.

You may also amend you consent at any time by pressing the CookieSettings link in the bottom section of our website.
Our Cookie Consent tool respects the device/browser privacy settings. It means that, if the use of certain types of cookies is prohibited in the device/browser settings, those cookies will not be used even if you allow it through the Cookie Consent tool.
