What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text and number file which is downloaded and saved on the browser when a website is visited for variable periods of time depending on the needs for which these cookies were created.

Cookies can be classified into:

First-party cookies when they are installed by the website which the user is visiting;

Third-party cookies when they are installed by third parties to the operator of the website which the user is visiting.

Depending on the purposes, Cookies can be classified into:

  • Technical Cookies: these cookies allow browsing or provide a requested service for the user. This category includes cookies that automatically recognise the language which the user uses and those which make authentication procedures less complex and more secure for accessing members’ areas.
  • Analytics Cookies: these are a special type of cookie used by website operators to collect aggregated statistical information.
  • Profiling Cookies: if these cookies are installed, they help monitor and profile the user. With these cookies, you can profile users by their consumer choices, habits and tastes, send advertisements and/or offer services that match the preferences shown by the user.

The cookies installed on the website https://www.atag-europe.com/

Technical cookies are installed automatically on the user’s device. They are required for the website to run properly as they allow page browsing and content sharing. Without these cookies, the website could not provide the services for which users are accessing the website. For this reason, these cookies do not require the user’s prior consent.

Technical cookies are like analytics cookies when they are used by the website operator to collect aggregated information, for example: the number of users who visit the website. They are used by the Data Controller to optimise the website.

Remember that users can always change their browser settings to delete any cookies already installed and to refuse new ones. The procedures in this case vary depending on the browser used by the user.
