1.1 Definition of cookie and area of application
A cookie is a small text file which this website saves on your device with internet connection.

1.3 Cookies used on this website
| Purpose | Name | Type of cookie | Retention period | Domain name | Disclosure of information to third parties | Information collected and function description |
| Strictly necessary | OptanonConsent | Persistent Cookie | 1 year | www.bonava.com | OneTrust | This cookie is set by the cookie compliance solution from OneTrust. It stores information about the categories of cookies the site uses and whether visitors have given or withdrawn consent for the use of each category. This enables site owners to prevent cookies in each category from being set in the users browser, when consent is not given. The cookie has a normal lifespan of one year, so that returning visitors to the site will have their preferences remembered. It contains no information that can identify the site visitor. |
| Strictly necessary | OptanonAlertBoxClosed | Persistent Cookie | 1 year | www.bonava.com | OneTrust | This cookie is set by websites using certain versions of the cookie law compliance solution from OneTrust. It is set after visitors have seen a cookie information notice and in some cases only when they actively close the notice down. It enables the website not to show the message more than once to a user. The cookie has a normal lifespan of one year and contains no personal information. |

| Strictly necessary | ASP.NET_SessionId | Session Cookie | Session | otp.tools.investis.com | ASP.NET_SessionId | ASP.Net_SessionId is a Microsoft cookie which is used to identify the users session on the server. The session is an area on the server which can be used to store data in between HTTP requests. ASP.NET_SessionId is created by the webserver when the session starts so in the next requests, the Request Header has that ASP.NET_SessionId and it is the same as the Response Header. This ASP.NET_SessionId will be used to identify the specific user session and ensures that this request is from the same client that created the previous request. |
| Strictly necessary | AWSALBCORS | Persistent Cookie | 1 week | www.bonava.com | Amazon Web Services | AWS Application Load Balancer Cookie: This cookie is managed by AWS and is used for load balancing as well. With cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) requests, some browsers require SameSite=None; Secure to enable stickiness. In this case, the load balancer generates a second stickiness cookie, AWSALBCORS, which includes the same information as the original stickiness cookie, AWSALB, plus the SameSite attribute. Clients receive both cookies. |
| Strictly necessary | AWSALB | Persistent Cookie | 1 week | www.bonava.com | Amazon Web Services | AWS Application Load Balancer Cookie: This cookie is used to introduce stickiness across the session. Used to map the session to the instance. When the load balancer (the server) first receives a request from a client, it routes the request to a target, generating this encrypted cookie that encodes information about the selected target, and includes it in the response to the client. Also, it registers which server cluster is serving the visitor, and this is used in context with load balancing to optimize the user experience. |

| Strictly necessary | AWSALBTG | Persistent Cookie | 1 week | otp.tools.investis.com | Amazon Web Services | AWS Application Load Balancer Cookie: The ASWALBTG cookie is a load balancer-generated cookie for Weighted Target Groups. It is used to honor sticky sessions and enable target group stickiness. When the load balancer first routes a request to a weighted target group, it generates an encrypted cookie named AWSALBTG that encodes information about the selected target group and includes the cookie in the response to the client. When the load balancer receives a request from the same client that matches a rule with target group stickiness enabled and contains the cookie, the request is routed to the target group specified in the cookie. |
