Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones contentforsocials.iteurope.com uses, why we use them and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. It is written to meet the requirements of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK GDPR.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a site to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time. Similar technologies — such as local storage, session storage and pixels — perform comparable functions, and where we refer to “cookies” in this policy we mean all of them.
Cookies may be first-party (set by this website) or third-party (set by another domain). They may be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain for a defined period.
2. Our approach to consent
When you first arrive we set only strictly necessary cookies, which do not require consent under PECR regulation 6(4). Nothing else is set until you make a choice in the banner. Choosing “Essential only” means no analytics or preference cookies are placed at all. Your choice is recorded for twelve months, after which we ask you again. You can change it at any moment through the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page.

4. Managing cookies in your browser
In addition to our banner, every major browser lets you block or delete cookies. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of this site working correctly.
