Cookie Usage and Similar Technologies Policy

This policy refers to the cookies and similar technologies used on the Website and the applications operated by Premier Energy, as applicable.

Cookies are used for the following purposes: website operation, user/visitor behavior analysis, advertising, retaining user/visitor preferences or settings (e.g., language, color, font size, etc.), generating statistics, etc.

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file consisting of letters and numbers that will be stored on a user's device (e.g., laptop, computer, tablet, phone, etc.) when accessing the Website. The cookie is installed upon request sent by the user's terminal to a Premier Energy server or a third-party server.

A cookie is not a virus or spyware file, malware, hidden identifiers, or web bugs, does not contain harmful files, and does not access documents or information stored on the user's devices.

How Are Cookies Used?

Cookies ensure the proper functioning of the Website, primarily by recognizing the user's terminal and presenting content in a relevant manner tailored to the user's preferences.

Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support Premier Energy's efforts to provide user-adapted services (e.g., preferences for online privacy, preferred language, username or password, relevant advertising).

They are also used in preparing aggregated anonymous statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content without allowing personal identification of the user.

What Cookies Do We Use?

We use two types of cookies: session and persistent. Session cookies are temporary files that remain on the user's terminal until the end of the session or application closure. Persistent cookies are stored on the user's terminal for a period determined by the cookie's parameters or until manually deleted by the user; these also include those placed by a website other than the one visited by the user at a given time (i.e., third-party cookies).

Depending on who places cookies on your device, there are first-party cookies (placed by Premier Energy) or cookies placed by others (i.e., third-party cookies).
