How to Manage Preferences and Provide or Withdraw Consent
You have the ability to manage cookie-related preferences and to provide and withdraw consent to the use of those cookies on your devices through options provided by our website, such as through the banner cookie notification we provide. You can manage preferences related to cookies from directly within your own device settings, for example, by preventing the use or storage of cookies.
It is also possible, via relevant browser or device features, to delete previously stored cookies, including those used to remember your initial consent. Other cookies in the browser’s local memory may be cleared by deleting the browsing history. Additionally, you can manage many cookies used for online advertising via the consumer choice tools created under self-regulation programs in many countries, such as the US-based YourAdChoices, the Canada-based AdChoices or the EU-based Your Online Choices.
With regard to any third-party cookies, you can manage your preferences and withdraw your consent via the related opt-out link (where provided), by using the means indicated in the third-party’s privacy policy, or by contacting the third party.
Consequences of Denying Consent
Users are free to decide whether or not to grant consent. However, please note that cookies help us to provide a better experience and advanced functionalities to you (in line with the purposes outlined in this document). Therefore, in the absence of your consent, we may be unable to provide related features.
The EU Privacy Directive (so called “EU Cookie Law”) became effective in May 2011, concerns the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector.
It is therefore of paramount importance that users be provided with clear and comprehensive information when engaging in any activity which could result in such storage or gaining of access. The methods of providing information and offering the right to refuse should be as user-friendly as possible. Exceptions to the obligation to provide information and offer the right to refuse should be limited to those situations where the technical storage or access is strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user. Where it is technically possible and effective, in accordance with the relevant provisions of Directive 95/46/EC, the user’s consent to processing may be expressed by using the appropriate settings of a browser or other application. The enforcement of these requirements should be made more effective by way of enhanced powers granted to the relevant national authorities.
