This Cookie Policy explains how and why cookies may be stored on and accessed from your device when you use or visit our website www.nm-india.com

1. SCOPE AND APPLICATION

This Cookie Policy applies to all users of NuernbergMesse India websites, mobile applications, and digital services, including registrants, exhibitors, delegates, vendors, media representatives, and general visitors. By continuing to browse or use our digital platforms, you agree to the placement of cookies as described herein, unless you disable them through your browser settings or our cookie consent manager.

2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device to collect standard internet log and visitor behaviour information. These enable websites to recognize your device and store preferences to improve your browsing experience.

Cookies can be:

1. A. Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser.

3. WHO MANAGES COOKIES

According to the criterion of ownership and that is depending on who manages cookies can be of two different categories:

Third-party cookies fall under the direct and exclusive responsibility of the same third-party manager, and in relation to their installation the site manager first party assumes the mere role of technical intermediary.

An example in many websites is the presence of Youtube videos, Google APIs, use of Google Maps, and the use of "social plugins" for Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Linkedin. These are parts of the page visited directly generated by these sites and integrated into the page of the host site.
