Cookie Policy

www.akrolih.com uses cookies. The cookies on this website are used to personalise content and ads, provide social media features and analyse traffic. We also share information about your use of the website with our social media, advertising and web analytics partners, who may combine it with other information you have provided to them or that they have collected from your use of their services.

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain web pages. Among other things, cookies allow a website to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their device and, depending on the information they contain and the way the device is used, they can be used to recognise the user. Cookies are associated only with an anonymous user and their computer or device and do not provide references that would reveal their personal data.

Under the EU directive, the cookies that require the user’s informed consent are preference or personalisation cookies, analytics or measurement cookies and behavioural advertising cookies. Technical cookies are exempt.

a) Depending on the entity that manages them, there are first-party cookies (those sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain managed by the publisher itself, from which the service requested by the user is provided) and third-party cookies (those sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain that is not managed by the publisher but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies).

b) Depending on how long they remain active, there are session cookies (designed to collect and store data while the user is accessing a website) and persistent cookies (in which the data are stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which may range from a few minutes to several years).

c) Depending on the purpose for which they process the information they collect, they may be:

• Technical cookies (necessary for using the website and providing the contracted service),
• Preference or personalisation cookies (which allow users to access the service with predefined characteristics, such as language, browser type, regional settings, etc.),
• Analytics or measurement cookies (which collect information on how the website is used),
• Behavioural advertising cookies (which collect information on users’ personal preferences and choices).

The cookies used on www.akrolih.com are both first-party and third-party cookies, and they allow us to store and access information about language, the type of browser used and other general characteristics predefined by the user, as well as to track and analyse user activity in order to improve our services and provide them more efficiently and in a more personalised way. In all cases, the cookies used are temporary and are intended solely to make browsing more efficient. Under no circumstances do these cookies provide personal data by themselves, nor are they used to collect such data.

The use of cookies offers advantages such as:

• making it easier for users to browse and access the different services offered by this website;
• saving users from having to configure predefined general characteristics every time they access the website; and
• helping to improve the operation of the website and the services provided through it, after analysing the information obtained through the cookies installed.

• X cookie, as set out in its cookie policy.
• Facebook cookie, as set out in its cookie policy.
• LinkedIn cookie, as set out in its page on the use of cookies.

If you do not want websites to place any cookies on your device, you can adjust your browser settings so that you are notified before any cookie is placed.
