This Policy explains how AVERITES uses cookies and similar technologies on its website, what information they may collect, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. General provisions
This Cookie Policy (the “Policy”) applies to the AVERITES website (the “Website”) and forms part of the rules governing its use. This Policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy available on the Website.
When using the Website, you may choose which optional cookies to allow. Strictly necessary cookies are used only to the extent required for the proper, secure, and stable operation of the Website.
2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in the browser on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device. They allow your browser to be recognised during your current or subsequent visits, enable certain preferences to be saved, and help the Website function correctly.
Other technologies, including pixels, tags, device identifiers, and browser local storage, may serve a similar purpose. In this Policy, the term “cookies” also covers these technologies unless expressly stated otherwise.
Depending on their duration, cookies may be:
• session cookies – active for a single browsing session and usually deleted when you close your browser;
• persistent cookies – remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.
Depending on who sets them, cookies may be:
• first-party cookies – set directly by the Website;
• third-party cookies – set by providers of services integrated into the Website.
3. What Information may cookies collect?
Depending on their purpose, cookies may collect or store technical information about your use of the Website, including:
• your IP address and approximate location derived from it;
• your browser type and version, operating system, device type, and language settings;
• the date and time of your visit, session duration, and the pages you viewed;
• the source from which you accessed the Website and your interactions with its individual elements;
• unique technical identifiers and your cookie preferences.
As a rule, this information does not by itself reveal your name or contact details to us. However, certain identifiers, either alone or when combined with other information, may constitute personal data under applicable law.
4. What categories of cookies do we use?
The cookies used may change depending on the functionality of the Website and the services connected to it. The current cookie names, providers, purposes, and retention periods are displayed in the “Cookie Settings” panel.
5. Third-party cookies and service providers
To support certain Website functions, we may engage providers of hosting, information security, web analytics, multimedia content, communications, or marketing tools. These providers may place their own cookies and receive technical information about your device and your interactions with the Website.
We do not independently control all subsequent processing of information by these providers. They process information in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms of use. Where possible, links to the relevant documents are provided in the “Cookie Settings” panel.
Some providers may store or process information outside Ukraine or the country in which you are located. In such cases, the information may be subject to the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction. We seek to engage reliable providers and take appropriate measures to protect data to the extent required by applicable law.
6. Consent to the use of cookies
When you first visit the Website, you will see a cookie notice. You may use it to:
• accept all cookies;
• reject all optional cookies;
• select the categories you wish to allow and save your preferences.
We do not activate functional, analytics, marketing, or other optional cookies until we have obtained your consent. Rejecting them will not restrict access to the main content of the Website, although certain additional features may be unavailable or less convenient to use.
Your consent remains valid until it is withdrawn, the relevant cookies expire, or consent is requested again because the list of cookies or the purposes for which they are used have changed. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the use of cookies before such withdrawal.
7. How to change your settings or delete cookies
You may change your preferences or withdraw your consent at any time using the “Cookie Settings” link at the bottom of the Website. You may need to refresh the page after saving your new settings.
In addition, most browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies. The relevant options are usually available in the “Privacy”, “Security”, or “Site Settings” sections of your browser. Detailed instructions are available in the help sections of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and other browsers.
Please note that blocking or deleting strictly necessary cookies may cause certain pages, forms, or Website settings to function improperly. Deleting cookies may also cause the cookie notice to reappear and ask you to make your selection again.
8. Cookie retention periods
The retention period depends on the type and purpose of each cookie. Session cookies usually cease to operate when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are stored for a period determined by us or the relevant third-party provider, after which they are automatically deleted or renewed.
The specific retention periods for cookies used on the Website are indicated in the “Cookie Settings” panel. You may delete them earlier through your browser or device settings.
9. Personal data and security
Where information obtained through cookies constitutes personal data, we process it in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. We use organisational and technical measures designed to protect such information against accidental or unlawful access, alteration, loss, destruction, or disclosure.
This Policy applies only to information obtained through cookies and similar technologies. The processing of data that you provide directly through forms, email, or other communication channels is described in the Privacy Policy.
10. Updates to this policy
We reserve the right to update this Policy from time to time, including where the functionality of the Website, the list of providers, the ways in which cookies are used, or legal requirements change. The current version will always be available on the Website, and the date of the latest update will be stated at the beginning of the document.
If the changes materially affect the use of optional cookies, we may ask you to provide consent again or update your preferences.
11. How to contact us
