Types of cookies used

These cookies are strictly necessary for the correct operation of some sections of the site. They include persistent cookies (until expiry) and session cookies (deleted when the browser is closed). They are sent from our domain and are required to display pages and technical services correctly unless the user changes browser settings.

YCCS does not directly use its own profiling cookies. With explicit consent, third-party profiling cookies (e.g. remarketing or advertising pixels) may be set, governed by the respective providers’ policies.

Cookies requiring consent

Non-technical and non-anonymous analytics cookies are installed only after the user gives consent on first visit via the site banner (Iubenda). Consent can be given by accepting, customising preferences or continuing as indicated. Users may withdraw or change consent at any time via the banner or browser settings.
