Cookies Policy

Unless otherwise defined in this Cookies Policy (this “Policy”), all capitalized terms shall have the same meanings as those defined in the UNESCO x LKK: GLOBAL FOREVER FLAVORS Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”).

Consent

By using the Site, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with this Policy. Depending on your location, you may see a pop-up notice on your first visit to the Site requesting your consent to our use of cookies; such notice may not appear on subsequent visits. The Site uses a consent management tool (Drupal COOKiES module) to block third-party cookies before you provide consent.

We will set strictly necessary cookies for purposes such as security and session management regardless of your individual consent, as these are essential for the operation of the Site. The use of such cookies does not depend on your separate consent. For other non-essential cookies (such as those used for functional enhancements), we will only enable them after you have explicitly provided your consent. You can adjust or withdraw your consent at any time through the “Cookie Settings” or the consent management tool provided on the Site. Please note that withdrawing your consent will not affect the validity of any processing of personal information that has already taken place based on your prior authorization.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of text used to store information in web browsers. Cookies are used to store and receive identifiers and other information on computers, phones and other devices. Other technologies, including data that we store on your web browser or device, identifiers associated with your device and other software, are used for similar purposes. In this Policy, we refer to all of these technologies as “cookies”.

What Does this Policy Cover?

We use cookies if you use the Site. This Policy explains how we use cookies and the choices you have. Except as otherwise stated in this Policy, the Privacy Policy will apply to our processing of the data that we collect via cookies.

Please note that this Policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, the privacy practices of third party websites which may be linked to the Site.

What Types of Cookies Do We Use?

For the Site, cookies fall into the following categories:

Strictly Necessary / Security

hCaptcha: Used on all webforms to prevent automated (bot) submissions. Provided by Intuition Machines, Inc. (USA), hCaptcha may set cookies and process typical technical and security-related data (such as IP address and interaction details) to distinguish between human and automated access and to secure the Site. Please note that the processing of your data, such as your IP address, by hCaptcha involves the cross-border transfer of personal information. We use this feature to fulfil our legal obligations regarding cybersecurity protection. hCaptcha’s privacy practices include safeguards for cross-border data processing (see hCaptcha Privacy Policy and Terms).

Drupal Session Cookies: The Site may set first-party session cookies (e.g., SESS/SSESS/CSRF-related) required for anonymous users in certain scenarios, such as form interactions, to maintain session integrity and security. These are necessary for the core operation of webforms and other interactive features.

Functional

AddToAny (Social Sharing Plugin): Enables users to share content via social networks. AddToAny may set HTTP cookies on its domain only when a user interacts with a sharing button (not upon merely loading the page). For the avoidance of doubt, this feature is only triggered when you actively click the sharing button. Please note that AddToAny may collect and process your relevant data, and such processing requires your separate consent. No persistent unique identifiers are used across the web, and server log data is retained for 30 days or less. See AddToAny Privacy Policy.

How to Manage/Disable Cookies

You can manage or disable cookies at any time by changing your web browser settings. Most browsers allow you to accept, reject, or delete cookies, as well as to notify you when a cookie is set. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies (such as those used for webform security and session management) may impact the core functionality of the Site, including the ability to submit forms.

In addition, you can review, modify your consent preferences, or withdraw your consent for non-essential cookies at any time through the “Cookie Settings” or consent management banner provided on the Site.

For further information on managing cookies, you can visit https://www.knowcookies.com/ . If you have any preference requests related to cookies, you may also use the consent banner/settings provided by the Site.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Policy and change the cookies we use from time to time. This Policy will always allow you to know who is placing cookies, for what purpose, and give you the means to disable them. Please review this Policy regularly to stay informed about how we use cookies. If there are material changes to this Policy, especially those involving the purposes, methods, types of cookies we use, or significant changes to how cookies are managed or shared, we will notify you through website announcements, pop-up notifications, or other prominent means, and will obtain your renewed consent where required by law.
