What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file that a website sends to your browser and saves on your device when you visit an internet site. Cookies allow the website to function correctly or improve its performance, while providing statistical information to the site owners.

Based on their function and purpose of use, cookies are divided into: technical cookies, analytical cookies, and profiling (or targeting) cookies.

1. Technical Cookies (Necessary)

Technical cookies are those whose use does not require the user’s consent. They are essential to allow navigation and the use of all features (e.g., accessing restricted areas or saving privacy preferences). Without these cookies, the site could not provide the requested services.

  • Disabling: These cannot be disabled through this website’s functions, but they can be blocked in your browser settings (though this may compromise the site’s display).

2. Analytical Cookies (Statistical)

These cookies collect information in an aggregate and anonymous form on how users use the site (e.g., number of visits, most read pages, time spent on the site).

  • Matomo Analytics: We use Matomo for internal statistical analysis. Data is anonymized (IP address masking) to protect your privacy.

  • Google Analytics: Used to understand site performance in an aggregate manner.

  • Legal Basis: Processing is based on user consent or the controller’s legitimate interest for anonymous statistical purposes.

3. Third-Party and Targeting Cookies

Some pages on the site incorporate content and services from external providers who may install their own cookies. These are often used to monitor your preferences and show you relevant advertisements or content on other platforms.

  • Social Widgets (LinkedIn, Facebook, Youtube): These allow you to share content or interact with our social channels.

  • Multimedia Content (YouTube, Google Maps): These enable the viewing of videos and interactive maps directly on the site.

  • Note: Arteco does not have direct control over these cookies. For more information, please consult the privacy policies of Google, LinkedIn, and Meta/Facebook.

4. Consent Management

In compliance with the GDPR, the user can choose at any time which categories of cookies to authorize through our Cookie Preference Center (available via the initial banner or the link in the footer).

5. How to disable cookies via browser?

In addition to the site settings, you can manage cookies directly from your browser:

  • Google Chrome

  • Mozilla Firefox

  • Apple Safari

  • Microsoft Edge
