waterbarca.com Cookie Policy
This document informs the User about the technologies used by this Website to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies allow the Owner to access and store information (for example, through the use of a Cookie) or utilise resources (for example, by running a script) on a User's device as they interact with this Website.
For the sake of simplicity, all these technologies are identified as "Trackers" in this document - unless there is a reason to distinguish between them.
For example, while Cookies can be used in both web and mobile browsers, it would be incorrect to speak of Cookies in the context of mobile applications, as they are a web browser-based Tracker. For this reason, in the context of this document, the term Cookies is only used in cases where it is intended to make specific reference to this type of Tracker.
Some of the purposes for which the Trackers are used may also require the User's consent. Where consent is given, it may be freely withdrawn at any time on the basis of the instructions contained in this document.
This Website uses Trackers managed directly by the Owner (the "own" Trackers) and Trackers that enable services provided by third parties (the "third party" Trackers). Unless otherwise specified herein, third party service providers have access to the Trackers managed by them.
The validity and expiry dates of Cookies and other similar Trackers may differ depending on the duration established by the Owner or the respective service provider. Some of them expire when the User's browsing session ends.
In addition to what is specified in the descriptions of each of the categories below, the User will be able to find more precise and up-to-date information regarding the specification of the duration periods, as well as other relevant information - such as the existence of other Trackers - in the links that refer to the privacy policies of the respective third party service providers or by contacting the Owner.

How to manage preferences and give or withdraw consent
There are several ways to manage preferences related to Trackers and to provide and withdraw consent, where applicable:
The User can manage preferences related to Trackers directly in the settings of their own devices, for example by preventing the use or storage of Trackers.
In addition, where the use of Trackers is based on consent, the User may give or withdraw such consent by setting their preferences in the cookie notice or by updating those preferences accordingly via the consent preferences widget in question, if available.
It is also possible, through the respective browser or device functionalities, to delete previously stored Trackers, including those that have been used to record the User's initial consent.
Other trackers in the browser's local memory can be removed by deleting the browsing history.
With regard to any third-party Trackers, the User may manage their preferences and withdraw their consent via the respective opt-out link (if any), using the means indicated in the third party's privacy policy or by contacting the third party.

The User can also manage certain categories of Trackers used in mobile applications through the settings of the applicable device, by refusing, for example, advertising settings for mobile devices, or tracking settings in general (Users can open the device settings and search for the setting in question).
