Cookie Policy
By accessing the magellangroup.eu website, you agree to the terms and conditions of this policy, which apply every time you visit the site, regardless of the device you use. The site uses Axeptio as its CMP (Consent Management Platform): no third-party analytics or advertising cookies are placed without your prior consent.
What is a cookie?

You can delete or refuse them at any time via your browser.

Transfer of data outside the European Union
As some of our partners are based outside the European Union (notably Google and Salesforce), the data collected may be transferred to countries where data protection laws differ from those of the EU.

We strictly require our partners to use your personal data solely for the purpose of managing or providing the requested services, and to act in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
