COOKIE POLICY LEVANTE

Cookies are lines of text acting as computer markers sent by a server to a user's device when he/she accesses a given page of a website; cookies, which can also be set by websites other than the one the user is visiting ("third-party cookies"), are automatically stored by the user's browser and retransmitted to the server that generated them each time the user accesses the same Internet page. In this way, for example, cookies allow and/or facilitate access to certain Internet pages in order to improve the user's navigation (i.e. they allow the storage of visited pages and other specific information, such as frequently consulted pages, connection errors, etc.), or they allow profiling activities. Users can change the default configuration in order to disable or delete cookies (either from time to time or once and for all), but this may mean that the optimal use of certain areas of the website may be discontinued. You can also check how and what types of cookies are stored on your device.

1. Why we use cookies

Cookies are necessary for the operation of the website www.levante.eco and the websites linked to it (hereinafter, "Site"). The cookies help Kim-Joar Myklebust (hereinafter, "Data Controller") to obtain an overview of the visit of the user (hereinafter, "Data Subject") to the Site, so that it can be continuously optimised and aligned to the interests of the Data Subject. For example, the cookies store whether the user has already visited the page, whether he/she has logged in, which languages he/she would like to see on the website and which parts of the website are of most interest to him/her.

2. Characteristics and purposes of the cookies we use

The Site uses the following categories of cookies, which may be first-party or third-party.

I. Technical and functional cookies

a) Technical cookies: these make it easier for you to navigate the Site and use its features. For example, essential cookies, also known as "strictly necessary" cookies, enable functions without which it would not be possible to use the Site in full, as well as performance cookies, which help to improve the functionality of the Site.

b) Functionality cookies: allow the Site to store the choices of the Data Subject (e.g. language or geographic area) and set them for subsequent access.

II. Cookies Analytics

Cookies installed to collect aggregate information of a mainly statistical nature (how long you stay on a web page, number of visitors to the site, etc.). First-party analytical cookies are similar to technical cookies in that they are installed directly by the website you are visiting to improve its usability. It is not necessary for the data subject to give their consent. Thirdparty analytical cookies, on the other hand, are created and installed by third parties. These cookies analyse your navigation in order to compile statistics on visits or to improve the content on offer, to show you similar products and to place targeted advertising on web pages if necessary. To do this, we use, for example, Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies" to enable the website to analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate the user's IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website"

III. Profiling Cookies

They are used to send advertising messages and services in line with the preferences expressed by the data subject. In particular, they are used to offer advertisements and services potentially close to your interests, as well as to create individual profiles on your tastes, preferences and consumption choices, as detected during your navigation on the Site or through the comparison of your browser activities. Profiling cookies are for example used to limit the delivery of a given advertisement, or to deduce the effectiveness of a campaign from the frequency with which the relevant advertisement is viewed.

3. Description of how to consent to the installation of cookies

The first time Data Subject accesses the Site, the Data Subject will find a banner with a brief information notice containing a link to this extended information notice, which contains more information on the cookies installed by the Controller and third parties. The consent of the Data Subject is not required for the use of technical and analytical cookies. He or she may, however, disable them by following the procedure described in paragraph "5. How to enable or disable cookies on your browser". On the other hand, your consent is required for the use of profiling cookies, which are useful for sending advertising and services in line with your tastes, preferences and consumption choices. The following table describes the cookies sent to the Data Subject's browser when accessing the Site. The table is updated as of 10/01/2021; any updates will always be published on this page.

4. Other tracking technologies

We and third-party may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons, SDKs, pixels (or “clear gifs”) and other tracking technologies. Pixels are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Site. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of Data Subject from one page within our Site to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Site from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to serve targeted advertisements to you and others like you, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of marketing campaigns. While you may not have the ability to specifically reject or disable these tracking technologies, in many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly; accordingly, in those instances, declining cookies will impair the functionality of these technologies.
