Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files or similar technologies stored on or accessed from a user’s device when that user visits a website. They can support site functionality, remember settings, record consent choices, and enable analytics or other measurement activities.

2. Who uses cookies on this website

The controller responsible for cookie-related processing on the European Trade Academy website is Neophron International SRL, as the owner of the European Trade Academy brand.

Third-party technology providers may also set or receive cookie-related data where their tools are implemented on the website in compliance with applicable law and the website’s consent configuration.

3. Categories of cookies and similar technologies

The website may use the following categories of cookies or similar technologies, depending on the final technical implementation:

• Strictly necessary cookies, used for essential website operation, security, load balancing, session continuity, consent storage, and fraud prevention.
• Preferences cookies, used to remember language, interface, or user preference selections where implemented.
• Analytics cookies, used to understand website performance and user interaction patterns, including through Google Analytics 4 or similar tools, where lawfully configured.
• Marketing or communication-related cookies, if implemented in the future, for campaign attribution, remarketing, or conversion measurement, subject to valid consent where required.

4. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4

Neophron International SRL may use Google Tag Manager on the European Trade Academy website to manage the deployment of scripts, tags, consent-dependent triggers, and measurement logic.

Neophron International SRL may also use Google Analytics 4 to collect information about website visits and interactions, such as page views, engagement events, approximate location, browser and device characteristics, referral source, and form-related interaction signals, depending on the final configuration.

Google Tag Manager does not usually act as a standalone cookie for analytics reporting, but it may load other technologies that use cookies or similar identifiers. Google Analytics 4 may rely on cookies or equivalent identifiers unless configured otherwise.

5. Legal basis and consent

Strictly necessary cookies may be used on the basis that they are required for the functioning, security, or compliance operation of the website, subject to applicable law.

Analytics, preferences, marketing, or other non-essential cookies or tags should only be activated after the user has given valid consent where consent is required by applicable ePrivacy or data protection law.

Consent choices should be managed through the cookie banner, consent management platform, or other settings mechanism implemented by Neophron International SRL on the website.

6. What data may be collected through cookies

Depending on configuration, cookies and similar technologies may collect or enable the collection of browser identifiers, cookie IDs, IP-related data, session information, consent status, pages viewed, timestamps, event interactions, referral data, campaign attribution parameters, and device or browser metadata.

Some of this information may constitute personal data or may become personal data when combined with other information available to Neophron International SRL or third-party technology providers.

7. Retention and duration

Cookies may be session-based, meaning they expire when the browser is closed, or persistent, meaning they remain on the device for a defined period unless deleted earlier.

The exact duration of each cookie depends on the technical implementation chosen by Neophron International SRL and the third-party provider involved. Where a consent management platform is used, users should be able to review a current cookie list and duration information through that platform.

8. How to manage cookies

Users can accept, reject, or customise non-essential cookie preferences through the consent tool made available on the website, where implemented.

Users may also control or delete cookies through browser settings, though doing so may affect website functionality, saved preferences, or the proper operation of forms and embedded services.

9. Third-party providers

Where third-party tools are used, cookie-related information may be processed by those providers under their own roles and legal terms, in addition to the processing carried out by Neophron International SRL.

Users should review the privacy and cookie information of relevant third-party providers where those tools are active on the site.

10. Changes to this Cookie Policy

Neophron International SRL may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the website’s technical stack, analytics setup, consent tooling, legal obligations, or third-party provider relationships.

The latest version should always be published on the website with an updated revision date.
