Cookie Policy

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, our conference platform) are called “first-party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., interactive content, embedded videos, and analytics).

Essential Cookies

Some cookies are strictly necessary for technical reasons for our website to operate. These are called “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website to you, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our site functions. You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings, but some parts of the website will then not work properly.

Analytics & Performance Cookies

We use third-party services, such as Google Analytics, to help us understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect information in a way that does not directly identify anyone, including the number of visitors to the website, where visitors have come to the website from, and the pages they visited.

Embedded Content

Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner powered by PRASO. This banner allows you to manage your preferences and provide explicit consent for non-essential cookies (such as analytics or embedded third-party tracking).

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by accessing the PRASO cookie management tool, usually found via a floating icon or a link in the website footer. Additionally, you can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.
