The present Cookie Policy refers to www.masmec.com website (“Website”) managed by the company mentioned below (“Administrator”).

Cookies are small text files sent to users from the visited website. They are stored on the computer’s hard disk, thus allowing the website to recognise users and record certain information about them, in order to enable or improve the service provided. There are various types of cookies.

While some cookies are required for website navigation, other ones serve different purposes such as ensuring internal security, managing the system, creating statistical analysis, recognising website sections most frequently visited by users or offering a personalised website visit.

This Website utilises technical as well as third party cookies.

The above applies both to users’ computers and to any other device they may use to connect to the Website.

Technical cookies

Technical cookies are only used for transmitting messages over an electronic communication network or to the extent strictly necessary for the service providers to provide the services expressly requested by the subscriber or the user. Technical cookies serve no other purpose and are usually installed by the website owner or administrator directly. Technical cookies are divided into navigation cookies or session cookies, which enable normal website navigation and use (e.g. purchases, authentication to access secure areas); analytics cookies are comparable to technical cookies if used directly by the website administrator to collect aggregate information on the number of users and website usage; functionality cookies enable the user to navigate the website based on a set of criteria (e.g. language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the services provided. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this Website and prevent users from being able to access certain features and parts of it.

The following description of the cookies used on this website will help you decide which cookies to accept and which ones to block.

Types of cookies

• First-party cookies: first-party cookies are those set by a website that is being visited by the user and whose URL appears in the address bar. These cookies are used to make the website work efficiently.
• Session cookies: session cookies are stored temporarily during a browsing session and are deleted when the user closes the browser. If the user registers on the Website, it can use cookies which collect personal data in order to identify the user on future visits and make website access-login (e.g. by saving the user’s username and password) and navigation easier.

The Administrator does not have access to or control over cookies, web beacons and other tracing technology used by third-party websites linked from this Website, over any content or material published or obtained through such websites and over the relevant terms and conditions of personal data processing. Consequently, given the huge number of third-party websites, the Administrator declines any liability in connection therewith. The user is hereby advised to read the privacy policy of third-party websites in order to acknowledge the terms and conditions of personal data processing. The Administrator’s Privacy Policy applies to this Website only as specified above.

They allow contents to be personalised and preferences to be remembered (e.g. language selection or region). These cookies do not collect information on user identification.
