Cookie Policy

Arendt (“Arendt” or “we”) is responsible for the processing of your personal data collected in particular by means of cookies.

Arendt has appointed a Data Protection Officer who will be your point of contact for all questions or requests relating to the processing of your personal data. Contact details of the Data Protection Officer can be found under point 8 of this Cookie Policy.

In accordance with applicable data protection legislation, Arendt (including any of its branch and its affiliate, hereafter globally defined as “Arendt”) hereby informs you that when using the website, mobile sites, or mobile apps (together “Website”) of Arendt, we may collect information by using ‘cookies’.

By visiting our website, you may consent or not to the use of different categories of cookies. Cookies are small data or small bits of text that are downloaded to your computer or other internet enabled devices when you visit a website.

When you are navigating on our website, cookies enable Arendt to collect in various manners information related to the use of the website with the intent of improving your overall user experience. So, cookies are kind of personal data, which is information collected from you and other third parties that specifically identifies you as an individual from the European GDPR regulation (GDPR”: General Data Protection Regulation – Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data) point of view. When you visit our website again at a later date, the cookies are sent back to the site in question. In this way, our website recognizes your browser and can remember some of your preferences.

Cookies can be classified in two different ways, by “life span” and by “domain”.

There are two types of cookies categorized by “life span”:

• Session cookies: they only last for the duration of a single browsing session, so they don’t have an expiration time. They are deleted once the browser is closed and are therefore not saved on user’s device.
• Persistent cookies: they have an expiration date that is appropriate for the information being stored, so they do remain stored on the user’s terminal device for a certain duration. They are not automatically erased. Your browser sends these cookies back to the website every time you visit it again, so it can remember your preferences and tailor what you see on the screen.

When it comes to the “domain”, a distinction is made between:

• First-party cookies that are cookies set by the website you’re visiting. No other website can read them.
• Third-party cookies that are set by websites when they are using external services, which drop their own cookies.

Cookies are an important part of the internet. They make using websites smoother and enable many of their useful features.

In general, the reasons why websites use cookies are threefold:

1. to recognize users,
2. to recall their preferences, and
3. to assist users in various ways, such as remembering data previously entered.

Cookies are also employed for statistical analysis, targeted advertising, and to display relevant content based on the user’s browsing activity.

Cookies can be distinguished according to various criteria, such as their nature or purpose.
Here are the different types of cookies we use on our website:

a) Essential cookies (or strictly necessary cookies)

Essential cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the website.
These cookies are essential for the optimal operation of our Website and make it easier for you to navigate.
They are automatically allowed and do not require your consent.
These cookies do not store any personally identifying information and cannot be deactivated.

b) Non-essential cookies

Non-essential cookies, which can also be considered optional cookies, are not strictly necessary for our Website to provide information or a service expressly requested by you.
This means that our Website must obtain your prior consent before storing or reading such cookies.
These cookies are generally used for statistical, functional (preference-related), or marketing purposes.

Our website may use the following categories of non-essential cookies:

• Statistics (or analytics) cookies:
  These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website and track metrics such as the number of visitors and the most visited pages.

• Marketing cookies:
  These cookies are used to track visitors across websites. You can choose to deny or allow their use at any time.
  Their purpose is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user, and thus more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers.

• Preference (or functional) cookies:
  These cookies enable a website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, such as your preferred language or the region you are in.
  You can choose to deny or allow their use at any time.
  Some preference cookies may be considered essential when they are strictly necessary for the website’s operation; otherwise, they are optional.

c) Difference between essential and non-essential cookies

The difference between essential and non-essential cookies is that essential cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be disabled, while non-essential cookies require your prior consent.
You can accept or refuse these cookies when you first visit our website through the cookie banner, and you may change your preferences at any time in the cookie settings.
