Cookies policy

1. What are cookies and why do we use them on the Global Dairy Ventures website?

A cookie is a small piece of data that is downloaded to the user’s device when accessing certain web pages to store and retrieve information about the browsing activity carried out on that device.

Cookies allow the website, among other aspects, to store and retrieve information about the user’s decisions and habits. At Global Dairy Ventures, we use them to personalise our website experience, identify and remember registered users and make browsing easier.

It is important to stress that the use of cookies does not provide the user’s personal data, which, for Global Dairy Ventures, will remain anonymous.

Users can configure their browsers to not accept the use of cookies, in which case the website experience will not be personalised, but will still be able to access our website content normally.

Go to the Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie for more information about cookies and how they work.


2. ¿What kind of cookies does the Global Dairy Ventures website use?

There are two main types of cookies: session or persistent. The first kind expire when the user closes the browser. The second type remain for as long as they fulfil their purpose (e.g. so that the user can be identified by Global Dairy Ventures websites and services) or until they are manually deleted.

Cookies can also be classified as follows, depending on their purpose:

· Registration cookies: these are generated once the user has registered or subsequently logged in, and are used for identification purposes in order to:

• Keep the user identified and facilitate browsing for subsequent visits after the browser has been closed or the computer has been turned off. This functionality can be removed if the user presses ‘Exit’ to delete the cookie, meaning that, on the next visit, the user will have to log in to be identified.
• Check if the user is authorised to access certain services, e.g. to enter a competition.
• Certain services may also use third-party connectors such as Facebook, Twitter or Google. When a user registers for a service using credentials from a social media site or third-party identification system, the user gives permission to the service to keep a persistent cookie that remembers the user’s identity and ensures access to the website until it expires. Users can delete this cookie and revoke access to the website through social media sites or third-party identification systems by updating their preferences in the social media site specified.

· Analytical cookies: Every time a User visits a Website or Service, a tool from an external provider (Google Analytics or similar) generates an analytical cookie on the user’s device. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will be used in future visits to Global Dairy Ventures to identify the visitor anonymously. The main purposes are the following:

• To enable the anonymous identification of the users browsing through the ‘Cookie’ (it identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore an approximate count of visitor numbers and trends over time.
• To anonymously identify the most visited, and therefore most attractive, content for users.
• To find out if the user who is accessing is new or repeating a visit.

Important: Unless Users decide to register on the Global Dairy Ventures website, the cookie will never be associated with any personal data that can identify them. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes to help optimise the experience of users on the site.
More information about the privacy policy of these analytical tools can be found at: Google Analytics
