  1. Introduction

    This website uses cookies to ensure the proper functioning of its pages, to personalize content, provide social media features, and analyze traffic.

  2. What are cookies

    Cookies are small text files that websites visited by the user send to the user’s device, where they are stored and then sent back to the same websites upon the next visit. They are used to improve the website’s functionality, personalize the user experience, and collect statistical and marketing information.

  3. Types of cookies used

    The website www.docdonkey.com uses the following categories of cookies:

    • Necessary cookies
      These are essential for the proper functioning of the website and do not require the user’s consent, and cannot be disabled in our systems. They enable, for example, page navigation and access to restricted areas.
    • Technical cookies
      These allow the website to remember the choices made by the user (such as language or region), improving functionality and personalization.
    • Analytical (statistical) cookies
      These are used to collect aggregated and anonymous information on how the website is used by visitors, in order to improve performance and user experience. They are installed only with the user’s prior consent.

  4. Third-party cookies

    The website may incorporate content or functionalities provided by third parties, which may install their own cookies for technical, analytical, or marketing purposes.

    A detailed list of the cookies used on the website, including third-party cookies, is available in Section 7) List of cookies used.

    For more information on how these third-party providers process data, we invite users to consult their respective privacy and cookie policies.

  5. Consent management

    Users can manage their cookie preferences through the consent banner displayed upon their first visit to the website. The banner allows them to:

    • Accept all cookies, by clicking the “Accept all” button.
    • Reject all non-essential cookies, by clicking the “Reject all” button or by closing the banner using the “X” in the top-right corner.
    • Customize their choices, by clicking the “Customise” button to individually select the categories of cookies to be enabled. To confirm the customization of the cookie categories to be enabled, click the “Save my preferences” button.

    Once a choice has been made, the banner will no longer appear on subsequent visits. However, users may modify or withdraw their consent at any time by clicking on the “Edit cookies’ preferences” link, which remains visible as an overlay on all pages of the website. Any revocation takes effect immediately and does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

    The user’s preferences are recorded through the consent management platform, which uses a technical cookie to store the choice made.

    The website remains accessible even if the user refuses non-essential cookies, although certain features may be limited.

    Note: If the user’s browser is configured to automatically delete cookies upon closing or to block them altogether, the preferences expressed will not be retained. In such cases, the cookie consent banner will be displayed again on the user’s next visit to the site.

  6. Managing cookies through the browser

    The user can also manage and/or delete cookies through their browser settings.

    For example, it is possible to:

    • block third-party cookies;
    • delete all cookies;
    • set exceptions for specific websites;
    • receive alerts before a cookie is stored.

    The preferences set in the browser apply to the device and browser used.

    Warning: disabling or deleting cookies (especially technical/necessary ones) may compromise certain website or service functionalities. If cookies are deleted, the consent management banner may be displayed again upon the next visit. For more information, please refer to the “Help” section of your browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and, on mobile devices, the operating system settings (e.g., iOS, Android).

  7. List of cookies used

    Below is the updated list of cookies used on the website, including name, purpose, type, duration, provider/third party, any extra-EU transfer, and a link to the relevant privacy/cookie policy. Cookies are grouped by category according to their function.

Key “Extra-EU Transfer” column

  • Yes (Country): the processing of data through this cookie involves the transfer to a non-EU country, indicated in parentheses (e.g., “Yes (USA)”).
  • No: the processing of data takes place exclusively within the European Union/European Economic Area.
  • Not applicable: the cookie does not send data to external servers but stores information locally on the user’s device.

Technical note – Google Tag Manager
This website uses Google Tag Manager, a tool that enables centralized management and distribution of third-party tags and scripts. Google Tag Manager does not use cookies or collect personal data directly, but it may trigger tags that process data (such as Google Analytics), subject to the user’s consent.

  1. Legal basis for processing

    • Necessary cookies are installed on the basis of the Data Controller’s legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
    • Technical cookies are installed with the user’s explicit consent only if they are not strictly necessary for the technical operation of the website; in such cases, the legal basis is the user’s consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). If, on the other hand, the technical cookie is essential to provide a service requested by the user (for example, storing the selected language), it falls under necessary cookies and is installed on the basis of the Controller’s legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
    • Analytical cookies are installed only with the user’s explicit consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR).

  2. Data disclosure and sharing

    Data collected through cookies may be processed by parties acting on behalf of the Data Controller as data processors, or by third parties acting as independent data controllers. The data will not be disclosed.

  3. Transfer of data outside the EU

    The use of third-party cookies may involve the transfer of data to countries outside the European Union (e.g., the United States). In such cases, the transfer takes place on the basis of standard contractual clauses or other safeguards provided for under the GDPR.

  4. Consent retention

    The consent provided by the user is tracked and recorded through a preference management system that uses a technical cookie on the user’s device to store the expressed preference.

    No personal data is associated with such consent: the necessary cookie records only an anonymous or equivalent identifier, required to link the preferences expressed by the user without tracking their identity.

    Cookie preferences are stored for no longer than 12 months, after which the banner will be displayed again to allow the user to update their choices. The banner may also be shown before this period in the event of substantial changes to the cookies used on the website or to their purposes.
