COOKIES AND HOW THEY ARE USED
COOKIE POLICY FOR TEKNIPART AND RELATED GROUP COMPANIES

What are cookies and how do they work?

A cookie is a text file containing information that can be remembered by a web browser between pages. When an individual uses a web browser to access the internet their browser can create cookies which are stored on the user’s computer. Cookies are not programs and therefore cannot contain viruses or other malicious software. They are purely a string of text and numbers. There are two main types of cookies - session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies only last during a single visit. When a user closes their web browser the session cookie information is automatically removed from their computer.

The Teknipart website uses session cookies for the following purpose:

• One session cookie is set that temporarily stores a unique identifier for each visitor to the website. This identifier is a random series of letters and numbers and doesn't contain any personal or identifiable information. It is used to help count the number of visitors to the Teknipart website.

Persistent cookies are stored by the user's web browser even when the web browser has been closed, so that the next time a user goes back to the website that originally set the cookie, the web site can read information back from the cookie.

Persistent cookies have an expiry date which controls when they are automatically deleted. This can be anything from a few minutes to several years.

Teknipart use persistent cookies for the following purposes:

1. Google Analytics is a system used by many website's to record information about who visits a website. Google set five different cookies with expiry dates ranging from 1 day to 2 years. These cookies are used mainly to differentiate between first time visitors to a website and repeat visitors. They do not contain any personally identifiable information. You can find out more about how Google use cookies at http://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/privacyoverview.html (English only)
2. A number of persistent cookies are also set by the computers that run the Teknipart website. These cookies are solely used to record technical information necessary for our web servers to work properly. No personally identifiable information in stored in these cookies.
3. The Teknipart website uses a persistent cookie within the cookie banner that acknowledges if a user has dismissed the banner, these are also known as accepted cookies.
4. All cookies used by Teknipart are 'first party' cookies. This means that any cookie set on the Teknipart website can only be read back from the Teknipart website. No other website is able to read or access information from any cookie set by the Teknipart website. We do not use 'third party' cookies which would permit this sort of behaviour by other websites.
