Like many other companies, Eigenmann & Veronelli use "cookies" and similar tools in the Sites to increase the company’s performance and to upgrade the user experience.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies assist analysis of your web traffic and web applications, enabling us to respond you as an individual. Cookies can be adjusted according to your needs, such as the things you like and dislike, by collecting and remembering data about your web application preferences. These cookies may include personal data; for example, if you click the "Remember me" option when you log in, the cookie might save your user name. Most cookies do not collect personal data that enables acquisition of personal identification data; rather, they collect general information about how the user accessed our Site, the way that the Site was used, or the approximate location of the user.
Why do we use cookies?
Eigenmann & Veronelli may upload cookies or similar files to your device for the purposes of security and to remind you whether you have visited this Site previously, to remember your language preference if you are a new user, or to facilitate your browsing on this Site and to personalize your browsing experiences in our Sites.

In no way do cookies provide access to any other data other than the information you and your device confirms that you agreed to share it with us.
What kind of Cookies do we use?
In general, the cookies used in the Sites can be classified as follows:
· Session Cookies
These cookies are used in each "session" you visit the Site and expire as soon as or a short time later when you log out. These cookies are not saved permanently on your device, do not include personal data, and help to decrease the need to transfer personal data to the Internet. These cookies can be deleted or their use can be disabled; however, this will reduce the performance the Sites and will limit your user experience. Furthermore, these cookies also use time stamps that save your access time and log-out time in the Sites.

These cookies enable us to recognize loyal visitors to our Sites. A tracking cookie is matched with a randomly created no-name identifier and preserves the record for each use of our Site with reference to the user’s location, which search engine the user may use, which link/s have been clicked, which keywords have been used, and from which location the user accessed the Site. Through keeping track of these data, we can improve our Sites.
· Persistent Cookies
This type of cookie is saved on your device for a fixed period (sometimes for an hour, but perhaps for a few years or more) and is not deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are used when we need to remember you for more than one session. For example, this kind of cookie is used to save your preferences, so that when you re-visit the Site, these choices are remembered.
· Performance Cookies and Analytic Cookies
Performance Cookies are used to analyze how the Sites are used and to track their performance; they enable improving your usage experience. These cookies enable us to adjust the Site to display the contents that have been found interesting by the Site users and to determine the cause of any technical problems encountered related to the Sites. We may also use these data to prepare reports that will help us to analyze how the Sites are used, what the most common problems are, and how the Sites can can be improved.

If you do not want to accept cookies, many browsers will allow you to do the following: (i) you may change the settings of your browser to notify you whenever a cookie is received so that you can accept or decline; (ii) disable any current cookies; or (iii) to adjust your browser to automatically decline cookies. However, if you choose to disable or decline cookies, please remember that some features and services in our Sites will not operate properly because Eigenmann & Veronelli will not recognize you and associate you with the features of the Site.
