COOKIE POLICY
Last Updated: April 2025
This website uses cookies
When you visit our website, we may ask your browser to store a small piece of data (text file) called a cookie on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information.
Some cookies are set directly by us (“first-party cookies”). We also use cookies from domains different than our website’s domain (“third-party cookies”) for purposes such as analytics, functionality enhancement and where applicable and only with your explicit consent for advertising and marketing efforts.
We use a Cookie Consent tool to provide you with cleat information and control over the cookies used on this site, except for those that are strictly necessary for the website to function. Your explicit and informed consent will be sought before any non-essential cookies are placed on your device.
More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking Technologies for the following purposes, categorized based on the International Chamber of Commerce guide:
Session based versus Persistent cookies
Some cookies (“session cookies”) are installed only for the duration of your visit and expire automatically when you close your browser. Others (“persistent cookies”) remain on your device for a set period, allowing the website to recognize you upon your return. The specific duration for each persistent cookie is detailed below or in our Cookie Consent tool.
- Strictly necessary cookies.
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms.
- Purpose examples: Remembering information you’ve entered on forms across different pages in a single session, identifying you as logged in, ensuring website security.
- Consent: These cookies do not require your consent as they are essential for providing the services you request.
- Control: You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but please be aware that blocking them will cause some parts of the site to not work.
- Data: These cookies generally do not store personally identifiable information directly, although they might store identifiers necessary for functionality (like a session ID).
- Performance cookies. (Require Consent)
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.
The data collected through this cookie is not associated by the Website Manager partner (INTRACT) with any individual person. In some cases, some of these cookies are managed for us by third parties. Where cookies are managed by third parties, any data may be used by such third parties, but all data is collected and used in aggregated anonymised form.
Using our site indicates that you accept the use of ‘Performance’ cookies.
- Purpose: To carry out statistical analysis of page use, interactions, and paths to improve website performance (often referred to as 'digital analytics').
- Consent: These cookies will only be set on your device if you provide your explicit consent through our Cookie Consent tool. Using our site without explicitly consenting to these cookies will not result in them being placed. Accepting these cookies is not a condition of using the website.
- Data: All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this data to understand user behaviour collectively, not individually.
- Third Parties: In some cases, these cookies are managed for us by third parties (e.g., Google Analytics). Any data collected may be processed by these third parties according to their privacy policies, but typically used by us in aggregated, anonymized form.
- Functionality cookies (Require Consent)
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
For example, these cookies will:
- show you when you are logged into the website,
- remember your login details,
- remember the settings you’ve applied such as preferences,
- remember whether we’ve already asked you if you want to fill in a survey, and
- measure traffic received from various websites.
Functionality cookies collect non-identifiable data. No personal details are stored in this process and the information collected is only used in aggregate. We sometimes share some of the information with partners to provide a service on our website. In addition, some of these cookies are managed for us by third parties. In any case, the information shared or collected by third parties is only to be used to provide the service, product or function and not for any other purpose.
We will only collect functionality cookies based on your selection. If you accept the use of cookies, we will store this information in a cookie named ‘cookie settings’.
How To Control and Delete Cookies
- Consent Tool
The ARISE Cookie Consent tool can be utilized to customize your cookie preferences. The tool will record when you have consented to our cookie policy and will ask for consent once a year to ensure users stay up to date with changes to our cookie and privacy policies. The consent tool specifically controls the marketing cookies and performance cookies set by using our primary public website (https://arise-eu.org/). Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled, nor can the tool be used to block cookies on third party websites linked from our website.
You can access the ARISE Cookie Consent tool anytime from the Manage Cookies link in the ARISE Footer.
- Using Your Browser
Many of the cookies used on our website and through emails can be enabled or disabled through our consent tool or by disabling the cookies through your browser. To disable cookies through your browser, follow the instructions usually located within the “Help,” “Tools” or “Edit” menus in your browser. Please note that disabling a cookie or category of cookies does not delete the cookie from your browser unless manually completed through your browser function.
- Cookies Set in the Past
Collection of your data from our analytics cookies can be deleted. If cookies are deleted, the information collected prior to the preference change may still be used. However, we will stop using the disabled cookie to collect any further information from your user experience. For our marketing cookie, when a user opts out of tracking, a new cookie is placed to prevent users from being tracked.
We cannot be responsible for the policies and practices of other websites even if you:
- accessed the third-party website using links from our website, or
- linked to our website from a third-party website.
We recommend that you check the policy of each linked site you visit and contact the owner or operator of that website if you have any concerns or questions.
