Cookies are tiny information files stored by the websites you visit on the browser of the device with which you surf the internet (such as your computer or mobile phone). These files help the website memorize information about your visit and streamline your next visit: storing your actions and preferences for a certain period of time, storing or recognising your username, the language in which you wish to browse the site, and other settings.
The information collected through cookies may include your personal data, such as the randomly generated unique number that identifies your device.
Types of cookies
Cookies can be classified according to several criteria.
A. Based on their purpose, cookies can be:
- Strictly necessary cookies– These are cookies that are necessary to ensure the functioning of the Website and/or the availability of specific features requested by the User, as well as to store their browsing preferences, whenever they so request and use the same device. Given these purposes, the storage of these cookies on your device cannot be disabled.
- Personalisation cookies– These are accessory cookies (not necessary for the functioning of the Website, although they can improve its performance) and their purpose is to customize the User’s browsing experience.

- Marketing or advertising cookies – These are accessory cookies that aim to make advertising more attractive to both Users and advertisers by offering advertisements that are relevant to the User, in order to improve reporting on campaign performance and to avoid placing advertisements which the User has already seen or flagged as irrelevant.
B. Considering their life cycle, cookies can be classified as follows:
- Session cookies –These are provisional cookies that are deleted from the cookies’ archive when or shortly after the User closes the browser. These cookies make it possible, for instance, to analyse traffic patterns on the web, allowing us to identify issues, improve security, and provide a better browsing experience.
- Persistent cookies – Unlike session cookies, these cookies remain stored in your browser even after you close the browser. They are used whenever the User visits the Website, until they are manually deleted or expire according to the programmed duration period, allowing us, for instance, to customize the browsing experience according to the User’s interests and provide a more customized service.

- First-party cookies –These cookies are sent to the User’s device from equipment or domains managed by EML which provide the service requested by the User.
- Third-party cookies –These cookies are sent to the User’s device from a third-party device or domain over which EML has no control. In such cases, the third party may process the data collected by cookies, including transferring them outside the European Economic Area, and EML may not have the ability to configure the cookies’ operation and/or prevent the transfer of data collected through cookies.
Third-party cookies that transfer data to third countries
Where certain cookie categories may involve the transfer of data to countries outside the European Economic Area, such as the United States of America, please note that some of these countries do not have a European Commission adequacy decision and may not offer a level of protection equivalent to that in the European Union.

Should I accept the use of cookies?
In the case of strictly necessary cookies, the Website cannot function without them. As for other types of cookies, it is up to the User to decide. The Website may only use cookies with the User’s prior and explicit consent, unless the placement of certain cookies is strictly necessary to ensure the functioning of the Website and/or the availability of specific features requested by the User.
How can I manage my cookie preferences?
When the User accesses the Website for the first time, a banner (pop-up) with an explanation about cookies will appear on their device screen allowing them to manage cookies.
As soon as the User clicks on “Save preferences”, the User consents to us using the categories of cookies and plug-ins the User selected in the banner (pop-up), as described in this Cookies Policy.
In any case, the User may at any time set their preferences regarding the use of non-strictly necessary cookies on the Website by accessing “View preferences”, which is available here.
Alternatively, most browsers allow users to control the cookies that are stored on their device and to delete them immediately if they no longer want to allow cookies to be stored on their device. Users can change their browser settings to disable the storage of cookies or to notify them whenever a new cookie is set, using the specific help pages of their browser, including the following:

- For Mozilla Firefox Users , click here;
- For Internet Explorer Users, click here;
- For Safari Users, click here;

Please be aware that disabling cookies on your browser settings can have an impact on the functioning of our Website, as the settings in most current browsers are not detailed enough to allow Users to disable all cookies that are not strictly necessary for the proper functioning of the websites they visit.

EML will only use this technology when it is strictly necessary for accessing and/or operating the Website.
