On our website’s Privacy Policy, you will find detailed information about how we use and store data collected through cookies, as well as how we ensure that your personal information remains protected.

Article 2. What is a cookie?

The VdS Weaving website uses cookies.

Cookies are small text files containing data that a website (when visited by a user) wants to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login details. These cookies are set by us and are called internal or first‑party cookies. In addition, we also use external cookies, known as third‑party cookies.

Article 3. Which types of cookies exist?

3.1. Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are—just as the name suggests—essential for the website to function and therefore cannot be disabled. In most cases, these cookies are only used in response to an action you take that requests a service, such as logging into the website or completing a form. You can set your browser to block these cookies or to alert you about them, but certain parts of the website will then not function properly. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information.

3.2. Analytic cookies

Analytical cookies are used to analyse and improve the performance of our website by enabling us to count visitors and understand where they come from, allowing us to identify which pages are visited most frequently and how visitors navigate through the site. These cookies may, in theory, collect personal data, but this is not necessarily the case. They can also collect only aggregated and anonymised information.

3.3. Functional cookies

These cookies enable the website to offer additional features and personalised settings. Without these cookies, certain services on the website may not function or may not function properly. For example, the website can remember the user’s language preference or the user’s location. In this way, we can personalise your visit to our website. This information may also be collected on an anonymised basis.

3.4. Targeting or advertising cookies

These cookies are typically used for marketing purposes and are intended to track the user’s browsing behaviour.
