Cookie Policy
Pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), HYDRO-PAM provides you with the following information regarding the cookies installed on the domain www.hydro-pam.com (hereinafter, "Site").
What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of text, normally consisting of letters and/or numbers, that
are sent by the Site and stored by the browser installed on the device you use for navigation.
Cookies are then retransmitted to the Site on your subsequent visits.
Cookies allow information about visits to the Site to be stored and represent a very useful
technology, as they enhance the operation of the Site, making it more efficient. Without cookies,
the Site would not be able to "remember" certain information.
Cookies can be classified based on:
Cookies that expire at the end of a browser session (normally when the browser is closed or at the end of the session) are called session cookies and are useful, for example, for keeping a browsing session active. Cookies that are stored for a longer period (between sessions) are called persistent cookies and are useful, for example, for remembering your preferences or for targeted advertising.
The distinction between first-party and third-party refers to the website or domain that installs the cookie. First-party cookies are installed directly by the Site, while third-party cookies are installed by a different domain, for example, when the Site incorporates elements from other services, such as advertising platforms.
It should be noted that the purposes typically fulfilled by a cookie can also be achieved through other similar technologies, including the use of certain functionalities that allow the identification of devices in order to analyze visits to the Site. This information applies to any technology that stores or accesses information on your device. This category may include, for example, HTML5 local storage, Local Shared Objects (also called Flash cookies), and fingerprinting techniques. From now on, when referring to cookies, this definition will also encompass other similar technologies.
