Cookie Policy

We use cookies that identify you when you’re logged in, in order to give you the possibility to comment using your profile and also to edit your newsletter preferences.

We also use anonymous cookies that tell us where do our users come from and what pages they visit. These cookies sometimes collect anonymous statistics about the user (such as gender, age, interests) and the data is stored by the analytics services that we use: Google Analytics, Content Insights and Facebook Analytics. These cookies also gather data about a person’s behaviour on our website: what pages they visit, how long they stay on the page, what videos they watch or files they download.

We also use tracking cookies from social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and LinkedIn in order to be able to serve better advertising to our users on these platforms and to assess the performance of our ads on these platforms. The data that these platforms collect is anonymized. That means that we cannot see your social media profiles, but you will sometimes see ads to EURACTIV pages advertised to you on social media.
