In this policy, we use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and other similar technologies covered by the European Union Directive on privacy in electronic communications.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a piece of data that a website asks your browser to store on your computer or mobile device. The cookie allows the website to “remember” your actions or preferences over time.

Most internet browsers accept cookies; however, users can configure their browsers to refuse certain types of cookies or specific cookies. In addition, users can delete cookies at any time.

Why do we use cookies?

We use cookies to learn how you interact with our content and to improve your experience when visiting our website(s). For example, some cookies remember your language or preferences so that you don’t have to make these choices every time you visit one of our website(s). We also use cookies to help with geolocation tracking in order to show you the Tirolez store closest to you. In addition, cookies allow us to offer specific content, such as videos, on our website(s). We may use what we learn about your behavior on our website(s) to deliver targeted ads on third-party websites to show you our products and services again.

What types of cookies do we use?

First-party cookies and third-party cookies

We use both first-party and third-party cookies on our website(s).

First-party cookies are issued by our domain and are generally used to identify language and location preferences or to enable basic website functionality.

Third-party cookies belong to and are managed by other companies, such as Tirolez’s business partners or service providers. These cookies may be necessary to enable certain forms, such as job applications, or to allow advertising outside of the Tirolez website(s).

Session cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies used to remember you during your visit to the website. They expire when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies are used to remember your website preferences and remain on your computer or mobile device even after you close or restart your browser. We use these cookies to analyze user behavior and identify patterns so that we can improve the functionality of our website(s) for you and other visitors. These cookies also allow us to deliver targeted ads and measure the effectiveness of our website(s) and the performance of those ads.

How are cookies used for advertising purposes?

Cookies and advertising technologies, such as web beacons, pixels and ad network tags, help us deliver relevant ads more effectively. They also help us collect aggregated data for auditing, research and performance reporting purposes for advertisers. Pixels allow us to understand and improve the advertising we offer you, and they also let us know when certain ads have already been shown to you. Since your browser can request ads and web beacons directly from ad network servers, these networks can view, edit or set their own cookies, as if you had accessed a web page on their site.

Although we do not use cookies to create a profile of your browsing behavior on third-party websites, we use aggregated information from such third parties to show you relevant ads based on your interests. We do not provide any information we collect to advertisers. You can opt out of interest-based ads from third parties by adjusting your cookie settings. This will not remove ads from the pages you visit; instead, the ads you see will not be based on your interests.

How are third-party cookies used?

For some functions on our website(s), we use third-party providers, for example, when you visit a page with embedded videos from, or links to, YouTube. These videos or links (and any other content from third-party providers) may contain third-party cookies. We recommend that you consult the privacy policies of these third parties on their websites for information about their use of cookies.

How do I reject or delete cookies?

You can choose to reject or block all cookies, or specific types of cookies, set during your visit to a Tirolez website by clicking “Cookie Preferences” on our website(s). You can also change your preferences for Tirolez websites and/or third-party websites in your browser settings. Please note that most browsers accept cookies automatically. Therefore, if you do not want cookies to be used, you may need to actively delete or block them. If you reject cookies, you can still visit our website(s), but some functions may not work correctly. You can also visit www.allaboutcookies.org for more details on how to delete or reject cookies and for general information about cookies. By using our website(s) without deleting or rejecting some or all cookies, you agree that we may place on your devices the cookies you have not deleted or rejected.
