Cookies Policy

Last updated: 28.04.2025

Like most web services, our site can automatically receive and record information automatically when you use our site and our services. We can use a variety of methods, including clear GIFs (also known as “web beacons”) and cookies, to collect this information.

This Cookie Policy is intended to inform you of their use, but does not govern the use of our site or the processing of personal information. Cookie policy must therefore be read in close connection with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

Cookies and other automatic means of passive data collection

In this Cookie Policy, cookies and other automated means (e.g., web beacons) shall be collectively referred to as “cookies” within this policy, except as outlined in this section.

This section provides more information about some of these technologies and how they work.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s device and which the visitor’s browser offers to the site each time the visitor returns. Most important sites use cookies. Because the browser provides this site cookie information every time, cookies serve as a kind of tag that allows a site to “recognize” a browser when it returns to the site.

Cookies store information about your activities on a website or on another platform. For example, cookies can store session information to easily link to a website or other platform you’ve previously visited.

Beacon Web

Clear GIFs (also known as “web beacons”) are used in combination with cookies to help site operators understand how visitors interact with their Web sites. A clear GIF is usually a transparent graphic image (usually 1 pixel x 1 pixel) placed on a website. Using a clear GIF allows the site to measure the visitor’s actions by opening the page containing the clear GIF. It facilitates the tracking and recording of the activities of a recognized browser, such as the path of pages accessed on a website.

Clear GIFs, which can be embedded in web pages, videos or emails, may allow a web server to read certain information from your browser, check whether you have viewed a specific web page or message e – mail and determine, among other things, the time and date you saw that GIF Clear, the IP address of your computer, and the URL of the web page from which it was viewed.

What information do we collect passively?

The information we can collect with these automated methods may include, for example, your IP address, cookie information, a unique device or username, browser type, system type, content, and pages you visit on your site, websites or services, the frequency and duration of your visits to the site. We may also use cookies on the website to store session validators on the hard drive.

By combining any passive information collected with personal information directly, we treat the combined information as personal information under our Privacy Policy. Otherwise, we use the information collected by passive means in aggregate form.

How do we process passive data?

At www.verlinne.com, we may use passive data collected to: (a) remember your information so you do not need to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the site ; (b) monitor participation in different sections of the site; (c) personalize our service for you, including by providing recommendations; (c) monitor the aggregated site usage values, such as the total number of visitors and viewed pages; and (d) administer, use and improve www.verlinne.com and our other services and systems and provide services and content that are tailored to you.

What cookies do we use and why?

Cookies strictly required

These cookies are used only for the purpose of: (i) making a transmission of a communication via an electronic communications network; or (ii) enabling the provider of an information society service to provide such service as being requested explicitly by you.

Performance cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for example, which pages visit users most often and whether they receive error messages from webpages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All the information that these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. Is only used to improve how a website works.

Function Cookies

These cookies allow the site to remember the choices you make (such as your username, language, or region) and provide customized and enhanced features.

Social Media Cookies

These cookies are used based on social sign-in functionality or when you use a button to add a Social Media channel (for example, click the “Search” icon on a webpage).

Advertising Cookies

These cookies collect information about your Internet browsing activity to inform your site traffic advertising networks to provide targeted advertising based on your previous browsing activity.

Whether a cookie is considered a “prime” or “third party” cookie, it refers to the domain that introduces the cookie. “Primary cookies” are cookies set by a site that is visited by the user at that time (e.g., cookies introduced by www.verlinne.com). If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that site, it would be a third-party cookie.

Session cookies allow web site operators to connect your actions during a browser session. A browser session starts when you open the browser window and ends when you close the browser window. Session cookies are temporarily created. After you close your browser, all session cookies are deleted. On the other hand, persistent cookies are cookies that remain on the device for the specified cookie time. We use both session cookies and persistent cookies.

How to disable or remove cookies

You can set up your Internet browser by modifying its options to completely disallow cookies or to request before accepting a cookie from the website you are visiting. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use all of our site’s portions or all of its functionality.

Note that disabling these technologies may interfere with the performance and features of the services offered.

Modification and update the Cookie Policy

We may occasionally update our Cookie Policy. If we do so, we shall update the “effective date” at the top of the Cookie Policy. If we make an update of this policy, which is less material in terms of using or disclosing passive data before the update, we will provide you with a prior notification of the pending update and will request your consent by publishing a notification about our website or by contacting us using the email address you provided.

We encourage you to periodically review this Cookie Policy to keep you informed about the use of passive data collected. The continued use of our site constitutes your agreement to this Cookie Policy and any updates.
