What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device and store certain information about your preferences or past actions.
Cookies may be used for various purposes, such as enabling the website to function properly, improving security, remembering user preferences, analysing website traffic, or providing personalised content and advertising.
Some cookies are set directly by us (“first-party cookies”), while others are placed by third parties, such as analytics or advertising service providers (“third-party cookies”).
Cookies may be stored only for the duration of your visit (session cookies) or for a longer, defined period (persistent cookies).
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as pixels, tags, scripts, or local storage, which operate in a comparable way and are collectively referred to in this policy as “cookies”.
Depending on their purpose and configuration, cookies may process personal data, such as IP addresses, online identifiers, or information about user behaviour. Where this is the case, such processing is carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
What are the Types of Cookies We Use?
How long are cookies stored?
The storage period of cookies on your device varies depending on their purpose and type. Some cookies are stored only for the duration of your browsing session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser (session cookies). Others remain stored on your device for a defined period after your visit (persistent cookies). The expiration period is determined individually for each cookie and may, in certain cases, be renewed when you revisit our website, unless you delete the cookies manually beforehand. Once the applicable storage period expires, the cookie is automatically deleted. You can find detailed information about the storage period of each cookie in the cookie classification table available in our cookie consent banner, where you can review and manage your preferences before making your choices.
How to withdraw consent or delete cookies?
You can withdraw or modify your consent to non-essential cookies at any time by accessing the cookie settings available on our website. Changes will apply going forward and will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
In addition, most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies, or to notify you before a cookie is stored on your device. Please note that if you disable or delete certain cookies, some features or services on our website may not function properly, as they rely on cookies to operate.
To delete cookies already stored on your device, you can use your browser’s settings (often accessible via the “Privacy” or “History” section). In many browsers, you can open the deletion menu using the shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + Delete (or Command + Shift + Delete on Mac). If the shortcut keys do not work and/or you are using an Apple computer, you must find out what browser you are using and then click on the relevant link:
Remember: If you are using several different browsers, you must delete the cookies in all of them.

If you have any questions or comments regarding this information and/or the way we process personal data, you are welcome to contact us at any time by email at privacy@4finance.com. The Cookie policy may be updated from time to time through our Cookie management tool.
