3. What Cookies do we use?

We generally use cookies belonging to the following categories:

• Category Description
• Essential cookies These cookies are essential for the functioning of the website. Without these cookies, services such as the vehicle configurator would not work.
• Functional cookies These cookies enable a website to store data that has already been entered (e.g. user names, configurations, language settings), and to offer the user enhanced, more personalized features.
• Performance (analytic) cookies These cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly and therefore to improve the user experience by analyzing the behavior of the website users. They collect information on the use of our website, the number of visits, average dwelling time, pages requested. Performance cookies help us e.g. to identify the most popular elements of our online offering and to develop the website further on the basis of your needs. We also use performance cookies in connection with user tracking (see section 4 for detailed information).
• Marketing cookies These cookies are used to offer content that is more relevant to the user and tailored to his interests. They are also used to limit the number of times an ad appears and to measure and control the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Cookies register whether you have visited a website or not and what content has been used. This happens on a unique identification of your browser and your internet device. The information may possibly be communicated with third parties, e.g. advertisers, and may be used for their own purposes, thus the relevant advertisements can also be shown to you on other websites. These cookies are often linked to third party website functions.
• Social Media cookies These cookies are used based on social connect functionalities or when you make use of a social media add on button, e.g. clicking on the 'Like' icon on a webpage. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our websites.

a. Storage period

Cookies may also save files permanently or temporarily on your device.
Permanent cookies store a file on your end device for a particular period until the cookie’s expiry date (or until you delete it). They store e.g. language settings so that you don’t have to configure this repeatedly for our website.
A session cookie temporarily stores a session ID while you are active on our website. This prevents you from having to login again if you change pages, for instance. Session cookies are deleted when you log out, or lose their validity as soon as your session has expired.

b. First / Third Party Cookies
(1) First Party Cookie
A First Party Cookie is referred to as a cookie implemented by us as a data controller or our data processors. Ghelamco is responsible for the data processing. Ghelamco processes the data collected from the First Party Cookies for its own purposes, regardless of whether it programmed the cookie himself or implemented the cookie of another legal entity.
(2) Third Party Cookie
A Third Party Cookie is a cookie that is set by a third party other than Ghelamco, for instance by our services provider. Third party cookies originate from various domains of third parties who can flexibly use the cookies to track user behavior on our website and across other third-party websites outside the third party's offer (especially for user-specific advertising). When you visit a website where the advertising network places advertisements, the advertisements on that website may place a third party cookie on your device. That cookie usually stores the number of page visits and the length of time you have been there. If you revisit again a website on which the advertiser's advertisement is also placed, the advertiser can recognize you by means of the cookie and, thanks to the information collected, offer you individual advertisements of its own. While we allow third parties to access the site to install these cookies on users' devices, we do not retain control over the time these third party cookies will be stored in your devices. The data collected from the cookie is processed by the third party for its own purposes as an individual controller pursuant to their corresponding privacy and cookies policy or as a joint controller together with us. This also includes Third-Party Cookies from third-party social networks, which enable to share information with the respective social networks.
