POLICY ON THE USE OF COOKIES
PURPOSE OF THIS POLICY
This Cookie Policy explains how we use “cookies” and similar technologies (such as “pixels” or “tags”) on the website https://www.t-nb.com/en (the “ Site ”). It is intended to help you make informed decisions when using our Service. Please take a moment to read and understand this Policy. It should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.
WHAT ARE COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES?
Cookies are small text files or pieces of code, which often include a unique identifier. When you visit a website, it asks to store this text file on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Other information collected through cookies may include the date and time of visits and how you use our Site.
We use technologies similar to cookies such as “pixels” or “tags”. These technologies do a similar job to cookies and allow website operators to count page views and understand how visitors interact with and respond to certain content on a web page.
In the following sections of this Policy, cookies and similar technologies that use the above functionalities will be referred to as “cookies”.
You should be aware that applications you use to access our Site, such as your browser, may also place cookies on your device when you visit our Site or other websites. For example, when you sign in to Google Chrome with a Google account (see Section below). We have no control over these third-party cookies and you should therefore manage them in the settings of the relevant applications.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FIRST-PARTY COOKIES AND THIRD-PARTY COOKIES?
We use “first-party cookies” and “third-party cookies” in connection with our Service. First-party cookies are cookies that we place to collect information about you. Third-party cookies are cookies placed by third-party website operators. The information about you collected by these third-party cookies will be shared with the relevant third party. Please refer to the third-party website operator’s privacy policy for more details on what information they collect and how they use it.
HOW LONG DO COOKIES LAST?
Cookies have an expiration date which determines how long they remain in your browser:
Session cookies – these are temporary cookies; they are placed on your device during your browsing session and then expire (and are automatically deleted) when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies – these are designed for a predefined duration that varies depending on the nature of the cookie. Persistent cookies remain in your browser until they reach their individual expiry date or until you delete them manually (see Section below).
WHAT COOKIES DO WE USE ON OUR SITE?
The consent management platform that you can display at any time during your navigation gives you specific information on the cookies we use and their purposes.
We use the following types of cookies:
Essential cookies – Essential cookies are cookies without which a website would not be able to function. They include cookies that recognise the characteristics of your screen.

These cookies also help to provide you with relevant content based on your language setting, for example by allowing you to view the Site in your preferred language.
Security, Site Integrity Cookies – These cookies ensure the security of your account, data, and the Site. They can help us identify and impose additional security measures when someone tries to access a Site account without authorization, for example by quickly guessing different passwords. These cookies also store information that allows us to recover your account if you have forgotten your password or to request additional authorization if you inform us that your account has been hacked.
