1. WHAT IS A COOKIE?

Cookies are files that contain small amounts of information that are downloaded to the user’s device when they visit a website. Their primary purpose is to recognise the user every time they access the Website, as well as to allow us to improve its quality and usability.

Cookies are essential for internet functionality, as they provide technical solutions that enable users to browse different websites. They cannot damage the user’s device and can be used to identify and resolve potential operational errors on the Website. They can also be used for advertising or analytical purposes.

ECOEMBES does not need your consent to install the cookies required to enable the Website’s functionalities, as their use is necessary to provide the requested services. If you disable or block all cookies in your browser, your browsing experience on the Website may not be optimal, and some features may not function properly.

(ii) Functional cookies

These cookies allow the Website to offer greater functionality and personalisation. They are used to remember information, allowing users to access the service with specific features that may differentiate their experience from that of other users and display content tailored to their preferences. If the user themselves selects those features, the cookies will be considered as a service explicitly requested by the user, and will therefore be used solely for the selected purpose, without requiring explicit consent. These cookies may be installed by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
