Analytics cookies help measure usage and activity trends for our website, online services, and marketing emails.

When you first visit Camso’s website or application, our Cookie management solution informs you that our site or application uses cookies and directs you to this page to learn more. This Cookie Notice is also available through the “Cookie Notice” link in the footer of our website.

What types of Cookies are used by Camso?

A cookie can be classified in different ways.

By lifespan, a cookie is either a:

• Session cookie which is erased when the user closes the browser.
• Persistent cookie which remains on the user's computer/device for a pre-defined period according to the span that is attributed and the parameters of your internet browser. Retention periods vary from cookie to cookie. We determine the duration of cookies based on what is proportionate in relation to the intended outcome and then limit this to what is necessary to achieve the purpose.

As for the domain to which it belongs, they are either:

• First-party cookies which are set by the web server of the visited page and share the same domain, in this case Camso or its processors.
• Third-party cookies stored by a different domain to the visited page's domain. they are placed by third-party partners that Camso has authorized (for example an advertising agency). When they use cookies, these third-party partners are responsible for the cookies they use.

Besides these characteristics relating to their functioning cookies can pursue several purposes. Please note that the titles of categories may vary from one actor to another. To a better understanding, Camso defines them regarding the categories below.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Without these cookies, we could not deliver content to your browser, secure areas of our site, or record information in a webform.

Cookies used for targeted advertising

These cookies may be set through our websites by our third-party partners and providers. These cookies record interactions with your websites, online services, and marketing advertisements.

Advertising cookies generated by social network sharing buttons

Camso uses so-called social plugins (hereinafter referred to as buttons) which link to social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

When you visit our website, these buttons are disabled by default, which means they do not send any information to the social networks in question without action on your part. Before you can use these buttons, you must click to enable them. The buttons remain enabled until you disable them again or you delete your cookies. Once they have been enabled, the system connects directly to the server of the social network selected. The content of the button is then transferred directly from the social networks to your web browser, which incorporates them into the website you are visiting.

As soon as you have enabled a button, the social network in question can collect data, irrespective of whether you use the button. If you are logged on to a social network, it can link your visit to this website to your user account. Visits to other Camso websites will only be linked if you have also enabled the corresponding button on these sites.

If you are a member of a social network and you do not want it to link the data collected from your visit to our website to the information provided when you joined the network, you must log out of the social network in question before enabling the buttons.

Please note that we have no influence over the scope of data collected by the social networks through your buttons. Please refer to the data protection statement published by the social networks in question for more information about the scope and purpose of the data collection and how they process and use such data, as well as the rights and setting options to protect your privacy.

These cookies are used based on your prior consent.

How long do cookies persist?

By lifespan, a cookie is either a:

• Session cookie which is erased when the user closes the browser.
• Persistent cookie which remains on the user's computer/device for a pre-defined period according to the span that is attributed and the parameters of your internet browser. Retention periods vary from cookie to cookie. We determine the duration of cookies based on what is proportionate in relation to the intended outcome and then limit this to what is necessary to achieve the purpose.
