Our platform www.mpb.com/en/eu (“Platform”) uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our Platform. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our Platform and also allows us to improve our site.
Cookies are text files containing small pieces of information that a website transfers to your computer or mobile when you visit a website. They are used to recognise your computer or device as you move between pages on a website, or when you return to a website you have visited previously. Cookies are widely used in order to make websites work, or to work more efficiently.
We use cookies to enhance the online experience of our visitors and to better understand how our Platform is used.
There are two broad categories of cookies:
First party cookies, served directly by us to your computer or mobile device. They are used only by us to recognise your computer when it revisits our Platform.
Third party cookies, which are served by a third party service provider on our Platform, and can be used by the service provider to recognise your computer when it visits other platforms. Third party cookies are most commonly used for platform analytics or advertising purposes.
Cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Permanent cookies survive after your browser is closed, and can be used to recognise your computer or mobile device when you open your browser and browse the internet again.
Our own cookies are specific to use of our Platform and do not track your movements around the internet. Some third party cookies used by our Platform do track your movements on Platforms other than ours. Although they do identify a user's computer, cookies do not personally identify users by name. Password and credit card information is not stored in cookies.
We use the following types of cookies:
Strictly necessary (technical) cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our Platform and under our terms with you. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our Platform, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services. Without these cookies, services you asked for, like transactional pages and secure login accounts, would not be possible.
Analytical/performance cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our Platform when they are using it. This helps us for our legitimate purposes to improve the way our Platform works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily. We use this information to help run our Platform more efficiently, to gather broad demographic information and to monitor the level of activity on our Platform. The information gathered does not identify any individual visitor.
Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our Platform. This enables us, subject to your choices and preferences, to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region). The overall purpose is to enhance visitor experience and enjoyment of the Platform.
Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our Platform, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information subject to your choices and preferences to make our Platform and the advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose. Some of these cookies may track your movements on websites other than ours.
Sharing (social) cookies. If you share any of our web pages on social media via the buttons provided on our Platform, this involves the use of a third party cookie which collects information about your use of our Platform and other websites that you may visit, and uses this to target advertising to you based on your interests.
The following categories of personal data are regularly processed with cookies:
IP address,
device information,
information on user activities,
user preferences and settings that you make when you visit our Platform
We use this information to better understand how visitors use our Platform and for internal reporting purposes. We will anonymise and share this information with our third party service providers.
The use of cookies does not always require your express consent. In particular, technical cookies which are strictly necessary for the operation of the Platform and similarly analytical/performance cookies do not require such consent. We will seek your consent when you visit the Platform for the first time in respect of the placing of functionality cookies, targeting cookies and sharing/social cookies onto your computer or mobile device.
You have the right to withdraw your consent and disable the use of cookies at any time by changing your preferences in the Privacy Preference Centre. You may also change your browser setting so that cookies from our Platform cannot be placed on your computer or mobile device. In order to do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located within the “Help”, “Tools” or “Edit” facility). However, please note that the effect of disabling cookies depends on which cookies you disable, but in general the Platform may not operate properly if cookies are switched off. If you disable all cookies, you will be unable to complete a transaction on our sites.
