Cookies Policy

This Rudraya cookies policy (hereinafter ‘cookies policy’) describes the different types of cookies used as part of internet platforms held and controlled by the Rudraya (hereinafter ‘Rudraya’, ‘us’ or ‘we’). You can read this cookies policy via this website (hereinafter ‘the website’).
In addition to this cookies policy, the website is governed by a confidentiality policy that will bring you additional information on the processing of your personal data.

A cookie is a type of digital tag that memorizes your online visits. Almost every website uses cookie technology. In general, a cookie contains the domain name it comes from, its lifespan and a figure that usually corresponds to a unique number that has been generated randomly. Cookies are downloaded by your internet browser during your first visit to a website. They greatly help websites to run smoothly, improving them and making them more effective, notably by recognizing you and remembering information likely to make your use of a website easier (for example, by recalling your preferred settings).

2.1 Internal cookies and third-party cookies
Cookies are downloaded onto your device (for example, your computer, smartphone or tablet) via your internet browser when you first connect to the website.
When you next view the website using the same device, the cookie, as well as the information it contains, is sent back either to the site that produced it (internal cookie) or to a website different to that to which it belongs (third-party cookie).
If you refuse the use of cookies, internal cookies or third-party cookies will not be used. There will be no distinction between the two types of cookies.

2.2 Persistent cookies and session cookies
Depending on their lifespan, cookies can be ‘persistent’ cookies or ‘session’ cookies.
• A persistent cookie is a cookie stored on your computer until it expires or you delete it.
• A session cookie is deleted when you close your browser.
In addition to accepting cookies when you view the website, as described below, you can usually choose to accept or refuse cookies by changing your browser’s settings. For further details, please read paragraph four "How can cookies be managed?".

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies activate the features that are essential to browsing the website. Used exclusively by Rudraya, they are only kept on your computer when you browse the website. When you change page, these cookies make it easier, for example, to go from an http page to an https page, which maintains the security level of data transferred. A cookie of this kind saves your preferences regarding use of cookies on our website.

3.2 Functional cookies:
With these cookies, the site remembers the choices you make and provides more personalised, improved features. They have a short lifespan that usually only lasts for a session’s duration and, at the most, twelve months.

3.3 Analytical or performance cookies:
These are cookies that help us to learn about use and performance of the website, draw up statistics, determine traffic volumes and find out about how various aspects are used (e.g. content visited, pathways taken, etc.), with the purpose of improving our services’ appeal and user-friendliness.
These analytical cookies are applied by Google Analytics.

3.4 Sharing cookies (social links)
On our website, we have included third-party applications via which you can share content from our website with other people or let them know about your viewing or opinion on content on our website.
In this way, our website can contain links to Facebook, Twitter and other similar social-media websites through which you can share our site’s content with other people. When you use these share buttons, a third-party cookie of the social-media website concerned is installed. If you are connected to the social-media website when browsing our website, content viewed can be linked to your user account through the use of share buttons. These cookies are governed by the confidentiality policies of these third-party providers.

3.5 Targeting cookies:
Targeting cookies are installed with the purpose of targeted advertisements being displayed—based on your interests—on the website or for managing advertising campaigns. These cookies collect information about your activities on the website and on other websites to put forward targeted advertisements.
Usually, these cookies are third-party cookies and come from firms such as Facebook, Google AdWords, Adotmob, Numberly and Weborama.
