We aim to ensure that you enjoy the most efficient experience when accessing our website. For this reason, we place Cookies on your device to collect information regarding how you use the website.

What are Cookies?

A Cookie is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that will be stored on a user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment from which the internet is accessed. The Cookie is installed by a request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (it does not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access information stored on the user’s hard drive).

Cookies themselves do not require personal data in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users. Personal data collected through the use of Cookies may only be collected in order to facilitate certain functionalities for users. Such data is encrypted in a way that makes it impossible for unauthorized persons to access it.

Purposes for which cookies are used through this website

Cookies are used to provide users of this website with a better browsing experience and services tailored to each user’s needs and interests, namely for:

• improving the use of this website, including by identifying any errors that occur during users’ visits/use;
• providing anonymous statistics regarding how this website is used to Investimental, as the owner of the website;
• providing customized content for Investimental clients.

What Cookies do we use?

Depending on the duration for which a Cookie is stored on your device, the role of each type of Cookie, and the domain placing the Cookie on your device, Cookies may be classified into several categories.

1. Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies

Session Cookies – when you browse a website, you are considered a new user each time you access a different page. Session Cookies generally store an identifier that allows you to move from one page to another without having to re-enter identification information (e.g. username, password, etc.). These Cookies are essential for certain applications or website functions to work properly.

Session Cookies are stored on your device for the duration of a browsing session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They may also become inaccessible if the browsing session remains inactive for a certain period of time.

Persistent or “fixed” Cookies – unlike Session Cookies, Persistent Cookies are stored on your device for a longer period of time and are not deleted when the browser is closed. The duration depends on your browser settings.

2. Necessary Cookies and Advertising Cookies

Necessary Cookies – these Cookies allow you to browse the website and use its features. Basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas are enabled through these Cookies. The website cannot function properly without them.

Advertising Cookies – these Cookies collect information about visitors and tailor content displayed on this website and other websites based on your preferences. Advertising Cookies may be placed on your device both by our website and by third parties through which content is displayed (e.g. Facebook).

3. First-party Cookies and Third-party Cookies

First-party Cookies – files placed on your device by the website you are visiting.

Third-party Cookies – certain sections of a website may be provided through third parties/providers (e.g. embedded videos). These third parties may place Cookies on your device through the website you are visiting. In other words, third-party Cookies are placed by a website other than the one you are visiting.

Third-party Cookies are not strictly necessary when using the website, as they are associated with a service separate from the one requested by accessing the website.

Browser settings customization regarding Cookies

If the use of Cookies is not disturbing and the device used for browsing is only used by you, long expiration periods may be set for storing browsing history. If the device is used by multiple people, it may be advisable to set the browser to delete browsing data each time it is closed.

You may withdraw your consent regarding Cookies at any time. You can block or delete Cookies through your browser settings or by using third-party applications, or by following the specific instructions for each Cookie category below. Disabling necessary Cookies may make the website difficult to use.

All browsers offer the ability to change Cookie settings, usually found in the “Options”, “Tools” or “Preferences” menu.
