Cookie Policy

Cookies are small files of information stored on a user's device when they visit a website.

They can be used to allow a website to work, to store preferences, or to collect statistical information about how it is used.

For the purposes of this policy, references to cookies also cover similar technologies, such as browser local storage, where they serve an equivalent function.

The website uses only two categories of cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies
• Analytics cookies

We do not use advertising, remarketing, commercial personalisation or social media cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies allow essential features of the website to work.

They do not require consent where they are indispensable to provide a service that has been requested or to store the user's choice about cookies.

This cookie is not used to analyse browsing, identify interests or display advertising.

With the user's consent, the website uses Google Analytics to collect statistical information about how it is used.

Google Analytics can help us understand:

• The number of visits to the website
• The pages viewed
• The approximate duration of visits
• The general source of traffic
• The device and browser type
• The approximate geographic location
• The interactions carried out on the website

This information is used to assess how the website performs and is used, and to improve its contents.

Analytics cookies are not installed and Google Analytics is not loaded before the user accepts them.

The <identifier> element varies according to the Google Analytics property used by the website.

The duration given assumes that the Google Analytics configuration is adjusted by Fikto to limit these cookies to six months.

Strictly necessary cookies are used to allow the cookie management mechanism to work and to store the choice made by the user.

Google Analytics cookies are used solely on the basis of consent.

Refusing analytics cookies does not prevent access to the website, submitting the form or arranging a meeting.

The choice about analytics cookies is made in the Cookie preferences, where the user can:

• Accept analytics cookies
• Refuse analytics cookies
• Read this Cookie Policy

The absence of a reply, silence, continued browsing or use of the website are not treated as consent.

Google Analytics is only activated after the user expressly chooses to accept analytics cookies.

Consent can be changed or withdrawn at any time in the Cookie preferences, available from the website footer.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

After withdrawal, the website stops using analytics cookies on that device. Cookies installed previously should also be deleted through the mechanism provided or through the browser settings.

Google Analytics is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited.

The service uses its own cookies to measure and produce statistics about the use of the website.

According to Google, Google Analytics 4 does not log or store individual IP addresses. The IP address may be used during processing to determine an approximate geographic location.

Using this service may involve information being processed by Google group companies located outside the European Economic Area. Where applicable, those transfers must be subject to the mechanisms provided for in data protection law.

Through this website, Fikto does not use:

• Google Ads
• Remarketing features
• Advertising personalisation
• Google Signals
• Linking the Google Analytics property to advertising accounts

Additional information about this processing is available in the Privacy Policy.

The main browsers allow cookies to be reviewed, blocked or deleted through their settings.

Blocking all cookies may prevent the website from storing the choice made about cookies. In that case, the choice may have to be made again on a later visit.

Deleting the browser's cookies may also erase preferences saved previously.

This Cookie Policy may be updated where there are changes:

• To the cookies used
• To the analytics tools
• To the features of the website
• To the providers involved
• To applicable law
• To the entity responsible for Fikto's activity

The date of the last update is shown at the start of the policy.
