COOKIES USED AND EXTERNAL TOOLS

Cookies
A cookie is a file containing software identifiers that is sent over the Internet from a server to a browser, which stores it. The identifier is sent back to the server every time the browser requests a page from the server.

Cookies can be either “persistent” or “session” cookies:

  • A persistent cookie will be stored by the browser and will remain valid until the set expiration date (unless deleted by the user before the expiration date);
  • A session cookie remains in the cookie file of the browser until the user leaves the website.

Cookies do not normally contain information that personally identifies a user, but the personal information we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

Skynet websites use both session and persistent cookies, lasting for one year (unless deleted by the user before the expiry date).

The names of the cookies we use on our site, and the purposes for which they are used, are described below:

  1. 1. We use Google Analytics and Google AdWords to recognize a computer when a user accesses the website, to improve usability, analyze your usage, administer the website, prevent fraud, improve website security;
  2. 2. We use Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect the public forms on the website from spam attacks. Use of reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

Most browsers allow the user to refuse acceptance of cookies.

You can easily refuse cookies by choosing to browse in the anonymous mode of your browser.

Blocking all cookies will impose a negative impact on the usability of many websites.

If you block cookies, you will not be able to use all the features offered on our website.

Google Web Fonts
For uniform font representation, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When opening a page, the user’s browser loads the web fonts into the browser’s own cache to display the text and fonts correctly.

For this purpose the user’s browser has to establish a direct connection to Google’s servers. Google thus learns that our page has been accessed via the user’s IP address. The use of Google web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our website. This constitutes a justified interest under the GDPR.

If the user’s browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by the device.
