1. Introduction
This Policy applies to the company “LYTUM S.A.”, hereinafter referred to as the Company. The Company is committed to protecting the personal data collected when you use its website, as well as other services. This Policy explains what cookies are, how the Company uses them, and what you can do to manage the way cookies are used.
2. Use of Cookies
For the proper operation of the website, we may place small data files called cookies on your device. These allow the website to remember your actions and preferences for a certain period of time, so that they do not have to be set again each time you enter the website or browse its pages. We want our website to be functional and as user-friendly as possible, and cookies help us achieve this goal.
These cookies are not strictly necessary for the basic functionality of our website, but they are designed to provide you with personalised browsing. However, you may delete or stop accepting these cookies at any time. In this case, you may lose some of the functionalities provided. The information related to cookies is not used to personally identify you or for any reason other than those stated in this Policy.

We understand that some visitors may wish to have personalised control over their visit to our website and adjust their settings accordingly. You can read about personalised control in the section below, “Cookie Control”. If you do not agree with this use, please refrain from using the website.

4. About Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored by the browser, such as Internet Explorer or Safari, on your computer or mobile phone. They allow websites to store information such as user preferences. Cookies essentially act as a form of “memory” for the website, so that the website can recognise you when you return and respond appropriately.
Websites mainly use cookies to:
identify their users;
“remember” their users’ customised preferences;
help their users complete their tasks without having to re-enter information while browsing from one page to another or when subsequently visiting the website.
Cookies may also be used for so-called behavioural targeted advertising on the internet and for displaying advertisements related to something the user has previously searched for.
5. How Are Cookies Used?
The web server that provides the website may store a cookie on the user’s computer or mobile device. An external web server that manages files included in or referenced by the website may also be able to store cookies. All these cookies are called “HTTP header cookies”. Another way of storing cookies is through JavaScript code contained in or referenced by this website.
Each time the user requests a new webpage, the web server may receive the values of the cookies it had previously set and return the page with content related to those values. Similarly, JavaScript code is able to read a cookie belonging to its domain and perform a corresponding action.
6. What Are the Different Types of Cookies?
Cookies can be classified according to their lifespan and the domain to which they belong. According to their lifespan, cookies are either:
session cookies, which are deleted when the user closes the browser; or
persistent cookies, which remain on the user’s computer/device for a predetermined period of time.
With regard to the domain to which they belong, there are either:
first-party cookies, which are set by the web server of the page and share the same domain; or
third-party cookies, which are stored by a different domain from the domain of the page visited. This may occur when the website refers to a file, such as JavaScript, located outside the domain.
7. The Cookies We Use
