A cookie is a piece of data stored in the user’s browser in order to give the web server more information about that user, allowing certain parameters and information about the user to be remembered and thereby achieving greater personalisation and analysis of their behaviour.
Cookies this website uses today
This is the section that applies. The sections that follow are the text this website has been publishing since 2020 and describe an earlier configuration. Where they conflict, what is stated here prevails.
This website uses analytics and advertising cookies, and installs none of them until you consent. The first time you visit, a notice appears where you can accept them all, reject them all or choose by purpose; until you choose, and if you reject, none of the cookies listed below are installed. Continuing to browse does not amount to accepting them.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time from “Cookie settings”, at the bottom of any page. If you do not change it, you will be asked again after 24 months.
The cookies are managed through Google Tag Manager, which by itself installs no cookies and collects no personal data: it only decides which tags run, according to what you have consented to (Google Consent Mode v2).
Analytics cookies
They tell us, in aggregate, how many people visit the site, which pages they view and where they arrive from. Service: Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-MBV7N9N4DF). They are only installed if you accept the “Analytics” category.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguish one visitor from another | 2 years | |
_ga_MBV7N9N4DF | Keep the state of the measurement session | 2 years |
Advertising cookies
They let us know which advertising campaign brought us the people who write to us or send us their CV, so that we do not pay for ads that do not work. Service: Google Ads. They are not used to build profiles of you or to show you our ads on other sites. They are only installed if you accept the “Advertising” category.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_gcl_au | Attribute enquiries and job applications sent from the website to the campaign they came from | 3 months |
If you reject cookies
No cookie is installed and no identifier of yours is stored in your browser, and it is not possible to recognise you or track you between visits. Google does receive, in that case, a signal without identifiers, which only allows it to estimate the total number of visits statistically.
What is stored in any case
Your choice is kept in your browser’s local storage, under the key dsg_consent. It is not a cookie — it is not sent to the server with every request — and its only purpose is to avoid asking you again. It is exempt from consent because it is essential in order to honour the consent you give. You can delete it from your browser settings; if you do, you will see the notice again.
As with any web server, the technical connection data is also recorded — IP address, date and time of the request and the page requested — which is essential in order to deliver the page to you and to detect abusive use of the forms. That processing is described in the Privacy Policy, which also sets out who processes your data and how to exercise your rights.
Use of cookies

Cookies are small information files that allow us to compare and understand how our users navigate our website, and thereby improve the browsing process accordingly.

Types of cookies
There are different types of cookies, which may be classified according to their purpose in obtaining information about the user:
- Technical cookies: those that are essential to allow the user to browse a website — for example, those that make it possible to store the details of an online order.
- Personalisation cookies: these allow the functions or content of the website to be personalised on the basis of data obtained from the browser. Through these cookies we can present a website in the same language as the browser used to visit it.
- Analytics cookies: used for statistical purposes only. A clear example would be the cookies generated by the Google Analytics tracking script.
- Advertising and behavioural advertising cookies: all those aimed at improving the effectiveness of advertising space. Google’s advertising network and ad servers include this type of technology in order to provide the desired service to their customers.
You can find more information about cookies and their use at www.aboutcookies.org.
