What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their sites work or function more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, GROUCHOS STUDIOS) are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third party cookies”. Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be offered on or through the website (e.g. advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies may recognise your computer both when you visit the website in question and when you visit certain other websites.

When you access our website, and in accordance with current legislation on data protection, you will have seen that we ask you the level of acceptance of Cookies that you want and we inform you of the use of cookies, giving you the option to accept them expressly and to access more information through this Cookies Policy.

However, you can change your mind at any time and block their use through your browser. You can change your mind at any time by clicking on the button permanently available on our website.

Why do we use cookies?
We use first and third party cookies for a number of reasons. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons for our Website to work, and we call them “essential” or “strictly necessary”. Other cookies also allow us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics and other purposes. These are described in more detail below.
How can I control cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide services to you.
The Cookie Consent Manager is located on the notification banner and on our website. If you choose to decline cookies, you can still use our website, although access to some features and areas of our website may be restricted. You can also set or modify your web browser controls to accept or reject cookies.

What about other tracking technologies, such as web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website. From time to time, we may use other similar technologies, such as web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”). These are small graphic files containing a unique identifier that allow us to recognise when someone has visited our website or opened an email that includes them. This allows us, for example, to monitor user traffic patterns from page to page within a website, deliver or communicate with cookies, understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third party website, improve site performance and measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many cases, these technologies depend on cookies to function properly, so refusing cookies will affect how they work.
Do we use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?
Websites may also use so-called “Flash Cookies” (also known as Local Shared Objects or “LSOs”) to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention and other site operations.
If you do not want Flash Cookies to be stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block the storage of Flash Cookies by using the tools contained in the Website Storage Configuration Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Sotrage Configuration Panel
and following the instructions (which may include instructions explaining, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to as “information” on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSO Cookies from being placed on your computer without being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not delivered by the operator of the page you are currently on).
Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or hinder the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our online services or content.
Do we serve targeted advertising?
Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to deliver advertisements through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They may do this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you. The information collected through this process does not allow us or them to identify your name, contact details or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide them.
How often will we update this Cookie Policy?
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or other operational reasons or to adapt to new legal or regulatory developments or changes in our activities. Please review this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. The Policy in force will be the one published on the website at any given time.
