Cookies Declaration
1. Introduction
The GANNDALF website uses cookies to ensure its proper functioning, enhance your browsing experience and for statistical purposes. This policy explains what cookies are, how and why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They enable the site to remember your actions and preferences—such as login details, language settings, or display choices—so you don’t have to reconfigure them each time you return or move between pages. In addition to enhancing your user experience, cookies can also help generate anonymised statistics to better understand and improve how visitors interact with the site.
There are several types of cookies, depending on their origin and duration.
- First-party cookies are set directly by the website you are visiting and can only be read by that site. However, websites often rely on external services that may set their own cookies—these are known as third-party cookies.
- Persistent cookies remain stored on your device even after you close your browser, allowing the website to remember your preferences across sessions. In contrast, session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted once you close your browser.
Some cookies are essential (also known as strictly necessary) and are required for the website to function properly. Because they are critical to core functionalities—such as security, network management, or accessibility—they do not require your consent. Each time you visit this website, you will be asked to accept or refuse cookies that are not essential
