Cookies

Cookies are a small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device by websites you visit. They are widely used in order to make a website work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. These cookies contain a unique code which allows us to recognize your browser during your visit to our website (so-called a ‘session’ cookie) or later, repeated visits (so-called permanent cookies). The content of a cookie usually consists of the name of the server that placed the cookie, an expiration date and a unique numeric code.

Based on your surfing habits, a cookie remembers your preferences. These personal interests are stored on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies make the interaction between you, the visitor, and the website easier, faster and help you to navigate between the different parts of a website. Cookies are also used to make the content of, or the publicity on a website more relevant for the visitor. Finally, a cookie will ensure that the content is adaptable to your personal taste and needs.

Media Facilities exercises no control over the use of cookies by third parties, such as, for example by advertisers, and also not on cookies resulting from the use of parts of the site. However, because such third-party cookies are placed through our website, we remain co-responsible for obtaining your consent before they are set. We therefore place non-essential third-party cookies only after you have consented, list them in the table above, and let you refuse or withdraw this consent at any time. You can always check and/or erase cookies and you can set your browser so that cookies are blocked. You can also delete the already installed cookies at any time on your computer or mobile device. This means that you then have to reset your preferences on each visit and that some parts of the website may not always work properly.

Why are we using cookies on our website?

Cookies can have different purposes. At Media Facilities we use cookies with three different goals:

1. Needed cookies: these cookies are essential in order to be able to visit our website and to use specific features of the service. These cookies enable you, for example, to navigate between the different parts of the website, to fill out forms or to download preferable content. If you reject cookies, certain parts of the website may not work optimally or not at all.
   
   Functional cookies: the functional cookies are those who makes the functioning of our website easier and more enjoyable for the visitor and offer you a more personalized browsing experience. This include that cookies help to remember your language preference and your customer segment, as well as keep track of whether you already was asked to subscribe to the newsletter, so we do not submit the same question over and over again.
   
2. Commercial cookies: we use performant cookies to collect information about how the visitors use our website in order to improve the content of our website, to adapt more to the needs of the visitors and to the ease of use of our website. For example, a cookie that helps us count the number of unique visitors and a cookie which keeps track of which pages are most popular. For analyses of the use of our website, we also make use of Google Analytics which also use cookies. Because these analytical and commercial cookies are not strictly necessary, we place them only after you have given your prior, specific and freely given consent. We cannot rely on a legitimate interest for them: Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive requires consent for any storage of, or access to, information on your device that is not strictly necessary, and this cannot be replaced by a legitimate-interest assessment. Data collected through Google Analytics is not fully anonymous; it is shared with Google acting as our processor and may be transferred outside the European Economic Area. We therefore rely on your consent together with appropriate safeguards, rather than treating this data as anonymous or as never being shared with third parties.

What cookies do we use?

Cookies can also be installed by third parties with whom Media Facilities collaborates, or if the website owned by Media Facilities contains links to third party websites. Therefore, please consult the cookie policies of these third parties as well to be aware of how they handle the setting of cookies.

1. Legal basis

When you visit our website for the first time, we will show you a pop-up with an explanation about cookies. As soon as you click on “Consent to all”, you consent to us using all categories of cookies and plug-ins you selected in the pop-up, as described in this Cookie Policy. On the same first layer of this pop-up, and with the same visual prominence as the “Consent to all” button, we also offer a “Reject all” button, as well as the option to accept or refuse each category of non-essential cookies separately. Non-essential cookies are placed only after you have actively made a choice: we do not place them beforehand, and continuing to browse, scrolling or closing the banner does not count as consent.

If you do not agree (to all) cookies, only a limited selection of necessary cookies will be active.

At any time can you adapt your preferences by re-installing this pop-up or adjusting them here [include hyperlink or pop-up here].

Withdrawing your consent is as easy as giving it: you can change your choice at any time through the same settings link and with the same ease as accepting. We keep a record of the consent you give so that we can demonstrate it, and we will ask you to renew your choice at regular intervals (and in any event no later than [6–12] months after it was given), so that your consent remains valid and up to date.

Additionally, you can also adjust the settings of your browser so that you receive a warning before cookies are placed. You can also adjust the settings so that your browser rejects all cookies or only third-party cookies. You can also delete cookies that have already been placed. Note that you must adjust the setting separately for each browser and computer that you use.

Please be aware that if you refuse certain cookies, we can no longer guarantee that our website works completely. Some features of our website may be lost. In addition, refusing cookies or enabling ‘do not track’ does not mean that you will no longer see ads. The ads are no longer tailored to your interests and are repeated more often.

2. Third parties

We never sell your personal data to third parties. We will only transfer your personal data when this is necessary in order to provide you with our services.

3. Your rights

The GDPR gives several rights to data subjects. You will find more information on these rights and how to execute them in our privacy policy.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
