Persistent cookies are cookies saved on your computer and that are not deleted automatically when you quit your browser, unlike a session cookie, which is deleted when you quit your browser.

Depending on the type of cookie (strictly necessary or essential cookie), your consent to the installation and reading of cookies on your device may be obligatory.
Indeed, in accordance with the recommendations of the French Data Protection Authority (Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés – CNIL), certain cookies are exempt from prior consent insofar as they are strictly necessary for the functioning of the Website, or if they have the sole purpose of enabling or facilitating electronic communication. This mainly applies to session ID, authentication, and load-balancing session cookies, as well as user interface customization cookies.
V4CURE does not use cookies exempt from consent for the Website.
Other than strictly necessary or essential cookies, other types of cookies are known as non-necessary or non-essential cookies. These cookies are not necessary for a website for its basic functionality. If these cookies are disabled, the website will still function smoothly and the user can access its services. These often have a different purpose that is unrelated to the functionalities of the website.
They mostly include third-party cookies, i.e. cookies used by a service, tool, or website other than the website the user visits. Another party that uses these cookies often has their own purpose or they are in a contractual or technical agreement with the website the user visits. For e.g. When you search for a product on an e-commerce store, you will likely receive ads about it on another, unrelated website. Such cookies track and monitor your online behavior for targeted advertising, marketing research, or third-party analytics.
At your first visit of the Website a banner giving brief information about the installation of cookies appears at the bottom of your screen. You are considered to have consented to the installation of cookies after having clicked on the “Accept” button on the right-hand side of the banner.
You can delete all cookies that are already on your device by clearing the browsing history of your browser. This will remove all cookies from all websites you have visited. Be aware though that you may also lose some saved information (e.g. saved login details, site preferences).
For more detailed control over site-specific cookies, check the privacy and cookie settings in your preferred browser (Mozilla, Firefox, etc…)
You can set most modern browsers to prevent any cookies being placed on your device, but you may then have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site/page. And some services and functionalities may not work properly at all (e.g. profile logging-in).
V4CURE reserves the right to amend this Cookies Policy. For this reason, V4CURE invites you to regularly consult the Website and read this Cookie Policy.
