2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
A cookie is a small text file that’s stored on your device—like your computer, tablet, or phone—when you visit a website. Cookies can help a website remember who you are and what you’ve done on previous visits. For example, they can keep you logged in, save your chosen language or country, or help a site remember what you’ve searched for.
Not all tools are cookies. Some similar technologies work in different ways but serve similar purposes. These may include:

Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies and similar technologies are essential for the website to function safely and correctly. They allow core features to work—such as secure login, remembering your selected settings (like role, country, or language), and helping content display as intended. These technologies do not store any information that can directly identify you and do not require your consent. These cannot be disabled through our cookie settings, as doing so would prevent parts of the website from functioning.
Istituto Johanson collects and stores your personal and identifying data (such as given name, surname, residential address, email address, courses of interest, citizenship, gender, place and date of birth, telephone number) through the following channel.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies and similar technologies enable enhanced features and personalisation on our website—such as remembering your preferences, enabling chat support, or keeping you logged in as you navigate. These tools help create a smoother, more tailored experience based on your interactions. They may be set by us or by trusted third-party providers offering services on our site. If these technologies are disabled, certain features may not function properly, and your experience could be less efficient or personalised.

Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies and similar technologies help us understand how people use our website—such as which pages are visited, how long users stay, or where they encounter issues. We use this data to improve how the site works and ensure content is helpful and accessible. These tools often use aggregated, anonymised information and are provided by trusted partners like Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. If these technologies are disabled, we’ll have limited insight into how our website is performing or where improvements are needed, which may affect our ability to make the site better for users.

Advertising Cookies
Advertising cookies and similar technologies are used to deliver adverts that are more relevant to you and your interests. They may also help limit how often you see a particular ad and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns across websites and platforms. These tools help TwinklPD and our trusted partners (such as Google) build anonymous profiles based on your browsing behaviour, so we can show you more useful and personalised content, both on our website and elsewhere online. If you choose to disable these technologies, we won’t be able to personalise advertising or accurately measure how well our campaigns are performing. This may affect our ability to improve the way we promote relevant content and services to you.
