Cookies are not, in themselves, software programs and cannot execute code or transmit viruses to a user's device.

3. What Types of Cookies May ERDA Use?

Depending on the functionalities active on the website, ERDA may use the following categories of cookies:

3.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the operation of the website and for providing functionalities expressly requested by the user.

They may be used, for example, for:

• navigating the website;

• operating the shopping cart;

• maintaining the user session;

• logging into an account;

• processing orders;

• website security;

These cookies allow the website to remember certain choices or preferences made by the user and to provide a more personalised experience.

They may include, for example:

• display preferences;

• certain website settings;

To the extent that these cookies are not strictly necessary for providing a service requested by the user, they will only be used in accordance with applicable law, including on the basis of consent where consent is required.

3.3. Analytics and Statistics Cookies

ERDA may use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the website.

These technologies may allow the collection of information such as:

• the number of visitors;

• pages accessed;

• approximate duration of a visit;

• the source from which a user reached the website;

• interactions with certain website elements;

• technical errors or functionality issues;

• information concerning website performance.

This information is used to analyse and improve the website, its functionalities and the user experience.

Where the use of such cookies requires user consent, they will only be activated after consent has been provided.

3.4. Marketing and Advertising Cookies

Depending on the services and tools active on the website, ERDA may use cookies or similar technologies for marketing and advertising activities.

These may be used for:

• measuring the effectiveness of marketing campaigns;

• understanding users' interactions with advertisements;

• displaying relevant advertisements;

• limiting the number of times the same advertisement is displayed;

• measuring conversions;

• creating marketing audiences, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Marketing cookies that require consent will only be activated after consent has been provided.

4. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

The ERDA website may use both cookies placed directly by ERDA and cookies placed by third-party providers.

Third-party cookies may originate, for example, from providers of:

• analytics services;

• advertising and marketing services;

• payment services;

• security services;

• technical integration services;

• other services necessary for the operation or improvement of the website.

Each third-party provider is responsible, to the extent applicable, for its own processing activities.

Where the use of a third-party service involves the processing of personal data, such processing is also governed by the privacy policy applicable to that service.

5. Cookie Storage Duration

Depending on how long they remain stored on the user's device, cookies may be:

5.1. Session Cookies

These cookies are used temporarily and are generally deleted when the user closes their browser.

5.2. Persistent Cookies

These cookies remain on the user's device for a specified period or until they are manually deleted.

The exact storage period may vary depending on the purpose of the cookie and its provider.

Information regarding active cookies on the website, including their name, provider, purpose and storage duration, may be made available to users through the consent management tool available on the website.

6. Consent to the Use of Cookies

When the website is accessed for the first time, the user may be presented with a mechanism for managing cookie preferences.

Depending on the category of cookies and applicable law, the user may have the option to:

• accept all categories of cookies;

• reject cookies that are not strictly necessary;

• select individual categories;

• modify their preferences at a later time;

• withdraw previously given consent.

Cookies for which consent is required will not be activated before consent has been provided, except where applicable law expressly permits their use without consent.

Refusing cookies that are not strictly necessary does not, in principle, prevent access to the website or the placing of an order.

However, certain optional website functionalities may not operate or may not be available in the same form.

7. Withdrawal or Modification of Consent

Consent relating to cookies may subsequently be modified or withdrawn, to the extent that the consent management tool available on the website allows this.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

If the user wishes to modify their cookie preferences, they may use the preference management tool available on the website, where such a tool is available.

8. Managing Cookies Through Browser Settings

Users may also manage or delete cookies through the settings of the browser they use.

Most browsers allow users to:

• view existing cookies;

• delete cookies;

• block certain types of cookies;

• block all cookies;

• receive a notification before a cookie is stored.

Disabling all cookies may affect the operation of the website and may prevent the use of certain functionalities, including certain functionalities necessary for the ordering process.

The settings available vary depending on the browser and its version.

9. Cookies and Personal Data Protection

Some cookies may enable the collection of information that, in certain circumstances, may be associated with an identifiable individual and may therefore constitute personal data.

In such cases, the processing of data is carried out in accordance with applicable personal data protection legislation, including Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).

Information regarding the processing of personal data is provided in the ERDA Privacy Policy.

Cookies and personal data protection are distinct matters, and compliance with the requirements applicable to cookies does not replace the obligations relating to the protection of personal data.

10. International Data Transfers

Certain third-party providers whose services may be used on the ERDA website may process data outside the European Economic Area.

Where the use of such a service involves international transfers of personal data, ERDA will take the necessary measures to ensure that such transfers are carried out in accordance with applicable law.

Depending on the circumstances, transfers may be carried out on the basis of:

• an adequacy decision of the European Commission;

• Standard Contractual Clauses;

• other transfer mechanisms recognised under applicable law.

Detailed information concerning relevant international transfers is available, where applicable, in the ERDA Privacy Policy and in the documentation provided by third-party providers.

11. Third-Party Providers and Services

ERDA may change the services and technologies used on the website over time.

For this reason, the list of providers and cookies may vary depending on technical, operational or commercial changes to the website.

Where cookies and similar technologies involve the processing of personal data, ERDA seeks to ensure that they are used in accordance with applicable security and data protection requirements.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage of information can guarantee an absolute level of security.
