Cookie Policy
1. Website cookie policy
Our cookie policy can be found at
unitur.eu and is therefore generally available and made public. The company reserves the right to supplement or amend its cookie policy without prior consultation or approval by the individual. Regardless of this right, the cookie policy consent message will be displayed again when the cookie policy is changed.
2. What are cookies?
For almost any modern website to work properly, it needs to collect certain basic information about its users. To do this, a site will create files known as cookies – small text files that are stored on computers of the users – the site visitors. These cookies are designed to allow the website to recognise its users. This is especially useful when revisiting the site as these cookies allow the recognition of users and their preferences on the website, and to authorise other websites to recognise these users.
Cookies do a lot of different jobs which make your experience of the Internet much smoother and more interactive. For instance, they are used to remember your preferences on sites you visit often, to remember your user ID and the contents of your shopping cart… Thus, they help you navigate between pages more efficiently. They also help ensure that the advertisements that you see online are more relevant to you and your interests. Some data collected is designed to detect browsing patterns and approximate geographical location to improve user experience.
3. How do we use cookies on our website?
Our pages use different types of cookies.

The website uses them to ensure the performance of basic functions like page navigation, accessing protected parts of the website and the like. The website cannot function properly without these cookies. As the operator of the website, we only have read access to these cookies. These cookies can, for example, remember if you have already agreed (or refused) the website’s cookie policy.Some cookies included on our website are necessary for its functioning. Your consent is not required for these cookies. They are mainly authentication cookies and technical cookies required for the functioning and use of some related IT systems.Authentication cookies are stored on our authentication server when you login into the site. When you do this, you also accept our privacy policy.
- The second category are the so-called statistics cookies, which are used for providing information on visitors’ interaction with the website. These types of cookies are collected anonymously. We use these cookies exclusively for internal research on how we can improve the service offered to the users of our website. These cookies simply assess how you, as an anonymous user, communicate with our website (the information collected does not disclose your identity). The data collected with anonymised cookies is not shared with third parties or used for any other purpose. Anonymised data can be shared with contractors working on communication projects under a contractual agreement.
- The third group of cookies are marketing cookies, which used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third party advertisers.
- The last, fourth group of cookies are unclassified or uncategorised cookies. Unclassified cookies are cookies that we are in the process of classifying, together with the providers of individual cookies.
