We value our relationships and understand how important it is to treat the data we capture correctly.

We do not rent or loan any data to third parties that identifies you without your consent.

Your acceptance

We hope that after you have read our policy you will have an understanding about what ‘cookies’ are and why utilise them in our website.

By navigating around this website, we understand you are happy with ‘cookies’ being set by us to improve your VINCI online experience. The cookies enable us to show you specialised services that we believe you will be interested in.

What is a cookie?

A ‘cookie’ is a very small piece of information in the form of a text file placed on your computer hard drive by most of the websites that you visit. ‘Cookies’ allow us to help you get the best out of your visit to the website and improve your user experience, for instance by remembering that you have visited before.

For further information about ‘cookies’ please visit https://www.allaboutcookies.org/

In this policy we have used the following categories of ‘cookies’

1. Strictly necessary cookies

These ‘cookies‘ are set to help support the structure of the pages that are displayed to you. These help the website to function and enhance the look and feel of the website. They also help to improve navigation around our website and allow you to return to pages you have previously visited. This type of ‘cookie’ only lasts for the duration of the time you are visiting the website. When you leave the website they are deleted automatically.

2. Performance

These ‘cookies’ are used to provide aggregated statistics on visitors to our websites and their browsing behaviour. This enables us to order the site to make customers’ journeys easier, and if necessary, make improvements. The data is aggregated and anonymised, which means we cannot identify you as an individual.

We use a number of tools to carry out analytical functions on our site including Google Analytics.

You can view their privacy policy here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

3. Functionality

Our ‘cookie’ will remain on your hard drive until you choose to clear it. If you choose to do this, you will need to enter your details each time you visit the site. It is possible for you to view our website without providing any personal information.

How do we use cookies?

Our ‘cookies’ are used to store basic information, like your user identification. They do not store password or credit card information.

Cookie management

You can set your browser to accept or reject all specific ‘cookies’. You can also set your browser to alert you each time a ‘cookie’ is presented to your computer. You can delete ‘cookies’ that have been stored on your computer, but remember, if you prevent us from placing ‘cookies’ on your computer during your visit, or you subsequently delete a ‘cookie’ that has been placed, it might not be possible for you to use our website effectively.

By disabling your ‘cookies’ from the browser settings, you will be restricting the ‘cookies’ that VINCI uses to manage its website and this will have an impact on how the website will function. This will apply to all websites once ‘cookies’ are disabled via your browser settings and not only the VINCI website.

If you would like to restrict or block ‘cookies’ that are set by us and other websites, you can do this through your web browser settings. Instructions for how to do this for the four most used web browsers are found below. For other web browsers, please use the Help function on your browser for details on how to do this. For information on how to restrict or block ‘cookies’ on your mobile phone, you will need to refer to your handset manual.
