This policy supplements our Privacy Policy. Also see: Terms of Use.
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences (such as language), and analyze how you interact with the content to improve your experience.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
Saporina uses different types of cookies for specific purposes. Some are essential for the website to function, while others help us improve performance or offer personalized content.
2.1 Technical & Strictly Necessary
No Consent RequiredThese cookies are essential for the proper operation of the website. They allow you to browse the site, use its features (such as accessing secure areas), and ensure security. Without these cookies, the website cannot function.
Examples: Session identification, load balancing, security tokens.
Retention: Session-only (deleted when you close your browser).
2.2 Functional Cookies
No Consent Required*These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as your user name, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
Examples: Language preference (pll_language), region selection.
Retention: Up to 1 year.
2.3 Analytical & Performance
Consent RequiredThese cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.
Note: Saporina configures Google Analytics to mask IP addresses, ensuring that data is processed in an aggregate and anonymous manner.
Tool Used: Google Analytics.
Retention: Up to 26 months.
2.4 Marketing & Profiling
Consent RequiredThese cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
Note: If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
Retention: Up to 2 years (varies by provider).
* Functional cookies do not require explicit consent under most interpretations of the ePrivacy Directive because they are necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user (e.g., remembering your language choice). However, transparency about their use is still required, which this policy provides.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.
