What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files, which a web server may store on your device/browser when a website is visited. When you visit a page of this website again your browser sends information back to the server in the cookie already created. Cookies are needed for the proper function of almost any website on the internet.

Cookies set by the owner of this website (Fumotec) are called “first party cookies”. Cookies product of services other than the website owner are called “third party cookies”. The latter is used to enable specific functionality throughout the website (such as analytics, client request forms or advertising). The third parties who set the cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits this website and also when it visits certain other websites or services (such as Facebook).

Why do we use cookies and other tracking technologies?

We use cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our website to function properly, and we refer to these as “Strictly Necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us and the third parties we work with to track visitors to or off our websites, and we refer to these as “Performance and Functionality Cookies” or “Marketing Cookies”. This is described in more detail below.

Cookies served through our website

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and user session. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. Still, you can block or delete them by changing your browser settings. For more information, you can visit the “Cookie Control” section of this page.

Google Tag Manager

is a popular service by Google which allows website owners to easily manage third-party services added to their website.

Performance and Functionality Cookies

These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our websites are being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are. While they are non-essential, without these cookies certain functionality may become unavailable.

Google Analytics

 gathers information allowing us to understand interactions with our websites and ultimately refine that experience to better serve you.

Under GDPR, exchanging data with third-party service providers requires both sides of the exchange to be compliant with the existing regulations. All the aforementioned service providers are fully compliant with the GDPR directives including the EU-US Privacy Shield.

Marketing Cookies

We use third-party social media and analytics partners which can also create cookies in your browser (like Facebook). They contain information about your use of our site and the information collected is aggregated and does not include personal information that enables you to be specifically identified (e.g. by reference to your name or email address).  

The cookies themselves are controlled by the respective service provider and not by us. The third-party may combine it with other information that you’ve provided to them or that they’ve collected from your use of their services. They are used to measure and track the effectiveness of advertisements and our online marketing activities, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

Facebook ads

These tracking technologies facilitate the placement of advertising campaigns on the Facebook platform and enable us to measure the performance of these advertising campaigns. For more information about Facebook cookies, please click here: https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/

Youtube

YouTube is a Google-owned platform for hosting and sharing videos. YouTube collects user data through videos embedded in websites, which is aggregated with profile data from other Google services in order to display targeted advertising to web visitors across a broad range of their own and other websites.

To refuse these cookies, please follow the instructions below under the heading “How can I control cookies?”

Other online tracking technologies

We and our third party partners may use other, similar technologies like web beacons or pixels. These files contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our websites or, in the case of web beacons, opened an e-mail that we have sent them. This allows us, for example, to understand whether you have come to our websites from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website and to measure the success of marketing campaigns.

While you may not have the ability to specifically reject or disable these tracking technologies they are mostly reliant on cookies to function properly. In those instances, declining cookies will stop these technologies from functioning. For more details read the “How can I control cookies section?” below.
