Cookie Policy

Last updated: 22 June 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how AdriaForum uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember your preferences, to measure traffic and to deliver and measure advertising. We also use similar technologies such as device and advertising identifiers.

Categories of cookies we use

• Essential cookies — necessary for the site to function and to store your cookie-consent choice. These are always active and cannot be switched off.
• Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. These are aggregated and used for measurement.
• Advertising cookies — set by Google AdSense and its partners to deliver, personalize, frequency-cap and measure ads, and to help detect fraud and abuse. These may use your IP address, device identifiers and location.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties, principally Google AdSenseand its advertising partners. These vendors use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. We do not control these third-party cookies; please review the relevant vendor's policies for details.

How long cookies last

Cookies are either “session” cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them. Your cookie-consent choice is stored for up to 12 months, after which we will ask again. Advertising cookies have their own lifespans set by the respective vendors.

Managing your choices

When you first visit, we ask whether you accept all cookies or reject non-essential ones. If you reject, we request non-personalized ads. You can change your choice at any time:

Cookie settings

You can also manage cookies through these external controls:

• Google Ads Settings — control Google ad personalization.
• aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu — opt out of participating advertising vendors.
• Your browser settings — block or delete cookies at any time.

Blocking some cookies may affect how the site works and the relevance of the ads you see.
