1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files or identifiers stored or read on a user's device when accessing a website or application.
They may enable basic functions, security, session management, preferences, measurement and, where authorized, analytics or advertising.
2. Who sets cookies
Cookies may be set directly by Fraterly (first-party) or by providers integrated into the website (third-party).
Third-party cookies depend on technologies actually contracted and implemented.
3. Cookie categories
- Strictly necessary cookies: required for functionality, security, navigation, sessions and services requested by the user.
- Preference/functionality cookies: remember choices such as language or region.
- Analytics/performance cookies: help understand website usage, errors and performance. Where not strictly necessary, activation follows the applicable legal basis and user choices.
- Advertising/marketing cookies: may support campaign measurement, personalized ads or interest profiles. They will only be used if actually implemented and where an appropriate legal basis exists.
4. Legal basis and consent
Fraterly evaluates the legal basis for each purpose. Strictly necessary cookies may be used to provide requested functionality and security.
Non-essential cookies that require consent remain disabled until a valid choice is made.
Where consent applies, it can be withdrawn as easily as it was given through the preference center or equivalent mechanism.
5. Banner and preference center
The website will provide cookie controls consistent with the technologies actually installed.
Where consent is required, the banner should provide clear and equivalent options to accept, reject non-essential cookies and manage preferences.
Access to the website should not depend on accepting non-essential cookies except where a specific feature legitimately requires them.
6. Language and preference cookies
The website may use a technical framework mechanism or cookie to remember the language selected by the user.
This preference avoids requiring language selection on every visit.
7. Authentication and security cookies
Authenticated applications may use cookies or tokens required for session management, security controls, abuse prevention and account protection.
These mechanisms are treated as necessary where indispensable to secure service delivery.
8. Analytics
Fraterly may adopt analytics tools to understand site performance and use. No specific analytics provider should be considered implemented until it is actually configured in production.
Analytics involving personal data or non-essential identifiers will follow the applicable legal basis and user choices.
9. Advertising
The current website should not be assumed to use advertising cookies. If advertising, remarketing or campaign personalization tools are added, this Policy, the banner and cookie inventory must be updated before activation.
10. Cookie duration
Session cookies are generally removed when the browser or session ends.
Persistent cookies remain for a defined period. Exact duration should be shown in the cookie inventory once technologies are implemented.
11. Browser controls
Users may also delete or block cookies in browser settings. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent parts of the service from functioning correctly.
Browser controls complement rather than replace website consent controls where applicable.
12. Cookie inventory
Fraterly will maintain an up-to-date inventory of cookies actually used in production, including name, provider, purpose, category and duration where applicable.
Because infrastructure and analytics providers may still change, this Policy does not list unconfirmed technologies. The final inventory will be published or made available in the preference center before non-essential cookies are activated.
13. Changes
This Policy may be updated when technologies, purposes, law or regulatory guidance changes.
