In particular, our website uses Google Analytics, a Google analytic tool which provides website owners information on how users interact with the contents on their website. Analytic cookies are used for this purpose, these cookies may be treated as technical cookies, in that they are used to gather information about the page a user has seen and how the user has interacted with the contents on the website.

How long do cookies reside on the user’s computer?
The time a cookie resides on a user’s computer varies according to the type of cookie employed. We can distinguish two types of cookie temporary and persistent:
- Temporary cookies are session cookies that are erased when the user closes the Web browser. We use temporary session cookies on all our web pages to assign the user a session ID and to memorise the user, so that the user is then able to browse through all areas on our website without interruption. Such ID sessions are also used for internal reports, they do not personally identify the user and there is no retrievable information left on the user’s hard disk.
- Persistent cookies can remain archived on the user’s computer for 24 hours, a week or even years, depending on the function that it is performing. Technical cookies and Google Analytics are persistent in that they are used to identify user patterns over a period of time and to give additional functionality requested in relation to the personalisation of the website and to that of saved and archived contents.
