remember your preferences;
adapt the website’s display to your device;
measure website traffic and performance;
display content provided by third-party services;
facilitate the use of contact forms, booking tools or other website services.

In this policy, the term “cookie” also includes, where relevant, similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, tags and technical identifiers.

3. Categories of cookies used

Depending on the features and services enabled on the website, the following categories of cookies may be used.

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation, security and proper use of the website.

They may be used to:

display pages correctly;
protect the website and prevent fraudulent use;
operate website forms;
record your cookie consent preferences;
remember certain technical or language choices;
maintain the website’s essential functions.

These cookies do not require your prior consent where they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested.

Blocking them through your browser settings may impair the operation of certain parts of the website.

3.2 Analytics and performance cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the website, including:

the pages visited;
the length of visits;
the general source of website traffic;
the type of device or browser used;
any technical errors encountered;
interactions with the website’s pages.

This information helps improve the website’s operation, content and browsing experience.

Unless an audience measurement tool meets the legal conditions for an exemption, these cookies are only placed after you have given your consent.

3.3 Functional and personalisation cookies

These cookies enable additional features or remember certain preferences, such as:

your chosen language;
display preferences;
video playback;
interactive maps;
external modules;
certain contact or booking tools.

Refusing these cookies may prevent certain content or services from being displayed or operating correctly, but it will not prevent access to the website’s essential functions.

3.4 Cookies placed by third-party services

Some pages may include content or services provided by third parties, such as maps, videos, social media features, analytics services, forms or booking solutions.

These providers may place or read cookies on your device when content is activated or a service is used.

Where these cookies require consent, the relevant content or service will remain blocked until you have accepted them.

Third-party providers may act as independent data controllers and apply their own privacy and cookie policies.

3.5 Advertising cookies

The website is not primarily intended to display personalised advertising.

However, should advertising, conversion-tracking or retargeting tools be enabled in the future, the related cookies will only be placed after your prior consent has been obtained.

4. Detailed list of cookies

A detailed list of the cookies and other tracking technologies that may be used on the website is available through the cookie preference manager.

This list may include:

the cookie’s name;
its provider;
its purpose;
its category;
its retention period;
whether it is a first-party or third-party cookie.

The list may change when the website’s features, plugins or service providers are updated.

The cookie preference manager is updated regularly to reflect, as far as reasonably possible, the technologies actually detected on the website.

5. How your consent is obtained

When you first visit the website, a cookie banner enables you to:

accept all optional cookies;
reject all optional cookies;
select the categories of cookies you wish to allow;
access further information.

No cookie requiring consent will be placed before you have expressed a clear and positive choice.

Continuing to browse, failing to respond or closing the banner does not constitute consent.

Strictly necessary cookies may be placed without prior consent.

6. Changing or withdrawing your consent

You may change or withdraw your consent at any time by using the “Manage cookies”, “Cookie preferences” or “Manage consent” link or button available on the website, usually at the bottom of each page.

Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.

Changing your preferences does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before your consent was withdrawn.

7. How long your choices are retained

Your decision to accept or reject cookies may be retained for a maximum period of six months, unless there is a regulatory change, a substantial change to the services used or another reason to request your choice again.

Once this period has expired, the website may ask you to renew your preferences.

The retention period applicable to each cookie is stated in the cookie preference manager and is limited to what is necessary for its intended purpose.

8. Browser settings

You may also configure your browser to accept, reject or delete cookies, or to notify you when a cookie is placed.

The available settings vary according to the browser and device used.

Browser settings do not, however, replace the website’s consent manager for recording your choices for different purposes.

Deleting or blocking certain strictly necessary cookies may impair the operation of the website.

9. Transfers outside the European Economic Area

Where such transfers take place, they must be covered by a mechanism recognised under applicable data protection legislation, including:

an adequacy decision adopted by the European Commission;
standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission;
another appropriate safeguard provided for under the GDPR.

Further information may be available in the website’s Privacy Policy or in the policies of the relevant providers.
