Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files or similar technologies stored on your device when you visit a website. They can be used to make a site work, remember preferences, understand usage and, where consent is given, support analytics or marketing.

In this policy, ‘cookies’ also covers comparable technologies such as local storage, pixels and similar identifiers where they perform a similar function.

OFANDI may use strictly necessary cookies that are required for the website to function securely and correctly. These can include session, security, load-balancing and preference-related technologies.

Where analytics, advertising or other non-essential technologies are used, they should only be activated after the visitor has given valid consent, unless a specific legal exception applies.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require prior consent where they are genuinely required to provide a service requested by the visitor or to operate the website securely.

Examples can include authentication state, security controls, fraud prevention, load balancing and remembering a choice that is technically necessary for the requested service.

Analytics technologies help us understand how visitors use the website, for example which pages are visited, how long sessions last and where technical friction occurs.

If OFANDI uses analytics that are not strictly necessary, those technologies should remain disabled until the visitor has consented. Where possible, privacy-friendly configurations and data minimisation should be used.

Marketing technologies can be used to measure campaigns, build audiences or personalise advertising. These are not necessary for the basic operation of the website.

Such technologies should only be placed or accessed after valid consent has been obtained. Refusing marketing cookies should not prevent access to the website’s core content or services.

Under European privacy and electronic communications rules, consent for non-essential cookies must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. Pre-ticked boxes, inactivity or continued browsing do not constitute valid consent.

Visitors should be able to accept or reject non-essential categories with comparable ease. Consent must be obtained before those technologies are activated.

You can withdraw or change your consent at any time. Withdrawing consent must be as easy as giving it.

If a cookie preferences tool is available on the website, use that tool to update your choices. You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect parts of the website that rely on essential storage.

The website may use third-party services for hosting, analytics, payments, communication, embedded media or other functionality. Some of these providers may place or access cookies when their services are enabled.

Where third-party cookies are non-essential, they should not load before consent. Their own privacy and cookie notices may also apply to the processing they carry out.

Some cookie or analytics providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where this happens, appropriate safeguards should be used as required by the GDPR, such as an adequacy decision or approved contractual safeguards.

Cookie lifetimes should be limited to what is necessary for their purpose. Session cookies generally expire when the browser is closed, while persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless deleted earlier.

Retention periods can differ by provider and cookie category. Where third-party tools are introduced, their specific cookie durations should be reflected in this policy or in the website’s cookie preference interface.

Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies. Browser settings can also be used to restrict third-party cookies or clear stored site data.

Blocking all cookies may affect website functionality, particularly where essential session or security technologies are required.

We may update this Cookie Policy when the website, our providers or applicable law changes. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated effective date.
