Cookies Policy

1. Introduction. Please note the following:
   1. Before the analysis contained herein, you have to take into consideration that:
      1. Technical cookies do not require the consent of the user in order to be used but it is necessary to inform about their use.
      2. In case there are only two (2) types of cookies, being one of them technical cookies, no Consent Management Platform (CMP) is required, as the “ACCEPT/ACCEPT ALL” button is a valid form of obtaining the consent for the purpose.
      3. In case there are three (3) or more types of cookies, being one of them technical cookies, a CMP is necessary in order to obtain the consents in a valid method.
      4. Cookies cannot exceed a twenty-four (24) month duration. If any of the cookies used on this website had a duration above the said, it must be set and changed so that it complies with this recommendation.
   2. This website only has two (2) different types of cookies: technical and analytical. It implies that for now it is not necessary to implement a cookie CMP in the Pop Up Information that captures the specific consent of the user for each purpose, due to the fact that:
      • Technical cookies are necessary for the website to work properly, so it is NOT necessary to obtain the user’s consent for this purpose. Technical cookies only need to be informed;
      • Even though consent must be given for the use of analytical cookies, in this specific website, it can be given by means of the “ACCEPT” button as it is already understood that consent is given for the only purpose it is required, because there are no other types of cookies on this website which need a consent in order to be used.
   3. Without prejudice to what is indicated in point “b”, if for the use of this website it was considered the addition a new type of cookie (i.e. advertising cookies, social network cookies), it will be mandatory to introduce a CMP that captures the consent separately from the user for each purpose. In such a case, the Data Protection Area of FLUIDRA HQ must be informed of this intention, so that required actions take place in order to comply: rsvaldo@fluidra.com.
   4. With regard to analytical cookies, the following should be taken into consideration:
      • It must be ensured that analytical cookies do not start working until the user has given his or her consent to do so;
      • In the Cookie Policy, a pre-checked checkbox is prohibited by the Data Protection Authorities. Pre-checked checkboxes do not constitute a valid form of consent.
