Vision Digital's Cookies Policy

COOKIES STATEMENT

1. About cookies

• Websites use smart and useful techniques to enhance user-friendliness and to make the site as interesting as possible for each visitor. One of the best known techniques involves cookies. Cookies can be used by website owners or third parties – like advertisers – who communicate through the website you visit. Cookies are small text files that websites store on users’ computers.

• The information contained in cookies can also be used to track your surfing on different websites that use the same cookie. Cookies are classified according to duration and who sets them.We feel it is essential for you to be informed about the cookies that our website uses and for what purpose they are used. The purpose is threefold: we want to guarantee your privacy, the user friendliness, and the development of our website as best as we can. The following explanation tells you more about the cookies used on and through our website and for what purposes.

2. How Vision Digital and/or its businesses and brands uses cookies:

• Vision Digital uses cookies to gather visitor statistics and to record information about your preferences as you navigate through the web sites. Our purpose of using cookies is to improve the use of the site for you as a visitor.

3. Cookies and their functionality:

• Different types of cookies are used for different purposes. Below you will find a list of the most common types of cookies and for what they are used.

3.1. Session cookies

• A session cookie is temporarily stored in your computer’s memory while you are surfing on a site, for example to keep a track of which language you have chosen. Session cookies are not stored on your computer for a long period of time, but always disappear when you shut down your web browser.

3.2. Persistent or tracker cookies

• A persistent cookie saves a file on your computer for a long time; this kind of cookie has an expiry date. Persistent cookies help websites remember your information and settings when you visit them in the future. This results in faster and more convenient access since, for example, you don’t have to login again. When the expiry date has passed, the cookie is automatically deleted when you return to the website that created it.

3.3. First party cookies

• These are set by the website itself (the same domain as in the browser’s address bar), and can only be read by that site. These cookies are commonly used to store information such as your preferences, for use when you re-visit the site.

3.4. Third party cookies

• These are set by different domains from the one shown on the browser address bar, that is by an organisation other than the website owner. Cookies that, for example, are used to collect information for advertisements and custom content and also for web statistics may be ‘third-party cookies’. As third-party cookies make it possible to generate more comprehensive surveys of user surfing habits, they are deemed to be more sensitive from the perspective of integrity; for this reason, most web browsers allow you to adjust your settings to not accept third-party cookies.

4. Managing cookies

4.2. Disabling/enabling or deleting cookies

• If you do not want websites to place cookies on your computer at all, you can adapt your browser settings such that you will be notified before any cookie is placed.

Please note that you will have to separately adapt the settings for each browser and computer you use.

• Please be aware that if you do not want cookies, we can no longer guarantee our website to function properly. Some functions of the site may be lost, while you may no longer be able to see certain websites. What’s more, refusing cookies will not mean you will no longer see any advertisements. It’s just that the advertisements will then no longer be tailored to your interests and will be repeated more often.
