COOKIES POLICY
- Introduction
Althexis uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local or session storage, pixels, and web beacons) on its website to ensure its proper functioning, continuously improve its performance, and provide visitors with a safe and high-quality browsing experience.
This Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use, for what purposes, and how you can control their use.
- What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that are stored in your device’s browser when you visit a website. They allow your device to be recognized on subsequent visits, preferences and settings to be retained, and aggregate information about how the website is used to be collected. They do not harm your device and do not provide access to other files or information except those you choose to share.
- Types of cookies we use
Althexis uses the following basic categories of cookies:
- Essential cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of the website. They enable secure navigation, correct page loading, and storage of consent settings. Without them, the website cannot function properly.
- Functional cookies
Functional cookies support the improvement of the user experience. For example, they remember the choices or settings you have made so that you do not have to repeat them every time you visit the website.
- Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how the website is used, which parts of it attract the most interest, and how users interact with the content. They collect aggregated and pseudonymized data, such as which pages you visit, how long you stay, which buttons or links you select, and technical details about your device or browser. Where technically feasible, IP addresses are anonymized so that you cannot be directly identified.
- Third-party cookies
Third-party cookies may be used if tools or content from external platforms, such as videos, maps, or social media, are embedded in the website. These cookies are set by the respective service providers and serve to enable the embedded content to function and to measure its usage. Althexis does not control or have access to the content of third-party cookies and does not use this data for its own advertising purposes. Users are strongly suggested to read the privacy and cookie policies of the respective third-party providers to understand how they process personal data.
We do not use cookies for targeted or behavioural advertising without your explicit and informed consent.
- Consent and cookie management
When you first visit our website, a special consent banner appears.
Through this banner, you can accept, reject, or customize the use of non-essential cookies (such as analytics cookies). Your choice is saved so that you do not have to repeat it each time, unless you delete your cookies or change your settings.
You can revoke or modify your consent at any time via the cookie management mechanism displayed on the website or via your browser settings.
There you can also delete all cookies stored on your device. Rejecting or deleting non-essential cookies does not affect the basic functionality of the website, but may limit certain features that enhance the user experience.
- Retention period
The lifetime of each cookie depends on its nature and purpose. Some cookies are temporary (session cookies) and are deleted as soon as you close your browser, while others are persistent (persistent cookies) and remain on your device for a specific period of time or until you delete them. Althexis only keeps cookies for as long as they’re needed for their purpose and makes sure they don’t stay longer than necessary
- Data processing through cookies
The data collected through cookies is used exclusively for the operation, analysis, and improvement of the website. It is not used to create profiles or to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant consequences for you.
Althexis takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect this data from unauthorized access or disclosure.
