What are cookies?

A cookie is a small data file stored by a website on your electronic device (computer, tablet, mobile phone, etc.), every time you visit that website.

Cookies are used by the website as “reminders” of your activities and preferences, thus eliminating the need to input such preferences and activities upon every single visit.

Persistent cookies – they are saved on your device for a longer period of time or until they are deleted by the user. The period of storage of a cookie on your device depends on the time fixed for that cookie and the settings of your browser.

Cookies are stored on your device only if you accept them. If you do not accept the use of cookies, the efficiency and functionality of the website might be affected.

Web log information

Every time a user connects to the Internet, his/her computer obtains a unique IP address. Using that address allows the computer to send and receive data. As a general rule, this IP address changes every time a user connects to the Internet. However, under certain circumstances (e.g. when using certain broadband connections), this address is static (fixed). A static IP address may be linked to the specific computer of a user and thus lead to personal information of that user. Web log information is non-personalised and is gathered by the website host computer, every time a user visits that website. Examples of the type of information that may be gathered in relation to the use of the IP address and/or of the web log information include details of the date and time of the visit to the website and on the type of the browser and the operating system of the computer used. We, or our authorised representatives, exploit the Internet user’s IP address and/or the web log information so as to gather collective information on the use of the website and on how to improve our website.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

The Organisation reserves the right to revise this Policy, at any time and at their absolute discretion. All revisions will be promptly displayed on this webpage and will be accompanied by a clear indication of the date of last update. You are encouraged to frequently read this Policy, so as to be aware of any modifications or updates to it. If you continue to visit the event website and/or use our services, it is assumed that have read, understood and fully accepted any revisions to our Policy, which would be promptly posted on this webpage.
