We will treat these techniques as if they were cookies and if we mention cookies in our Privacy Notice, we also refer to these techniques.  

What is the difference between first party and third-party cookies?

First party cookies are managed by Koura itself or used on behalf of Koura and refer to our domain. Third party cookies are placed by third parties and refer to their domain name.

Explanation of cookie types

What specific cookies are used on the ​​​​Website?  
Here is a list of the cookies used on the Website: 

Please note that Koura may be required under local law to obtain consent from you for the use of some of the cookie technologies. If so, we will ask you to consent to the placement of the cookies when you enter the Website. If you do not consent with the placement of the cookie, we will not place the cookie. However, in that case we are not able to personalize the content on our Website. If you have consented to the use of cookies, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. 

When functional or analytical cookies are rejected, Koura will not be aware of its Website performance and content quality and we are not able to improve the user experience of the Website. 

​​​​​​​What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?   

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website.  We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”).  These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website.  This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to our Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of e-mail marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning. 

How can I control cookies? 

More information with regard to withdrawal or modification or your consent, activation, deactivation and deletion of cookies can be found in the instructions via the help-functionality of your web browser. Please note that if you set your browser to disable cookies, the Website might not work properly and some services or some of the Website’s functionalities may not be available or work smoothly, and you could be required to modify or manually fill in some information or preferences each time you visit the Website.
