Important information about consent

Our website (“Site”) uses cookies, which are small text files (often including a unique identifier), that are sent to your browser from a website's computers and stored on your computer's hard drive or on your tablet or mobile device. Most websites you visit will use cookies in order to improve your user experience by enabling that website to ‘remember’ you, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’).

You affirmatively consent to the use of cookies on our Site by continuing your browsing on the Site as indicated in the cookie banner. Some of the cookies we use (functionality cookies and performance cookies) are exempted from the requirement to obtain your consent. Therefore we only ask your consent for those cookies that are not exempted. You can delete cookies by changing your privacy preferences in your internet browser or using the menu made available on the cookie banner. You also have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. Please note that some parts of our Site will not function correctly if you disable cookies.

What is this Cookies Policy?

This Cookies Policy sets out how AlphaTheta Corporation ("AlphaTheta", "We", "Our", or "Us") and third parties we authorise, use cookies when you interact with our Site or the services offered via the Site. Please note that this Cookies Policy is part of our Privacy Policy, and should be read alongside with the Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy explains what we do (and don't do) with the information, including any personal data, we may collect about you. Please read them both.

What are cookies?

Cookies are unique identifiers, usually made up of small bits of text or code. Cookies are usually stored on your device or in your web browser and they send certain information back to the party who served the cookie. When we say cookies, we are actually referring to a broader range of technologies than just cookies, including web beacons, clear gifs, pixels and other similar technologies. When we say first-party cookies, we mean cookies that are served by AlphaTheta. When we say third-party cookies, we mean cookies that are served by non-AlphaTheta parties.

What kinds of cookies are used on the Site?

Our Site primarily uses the following four types of cookies:

• Operationally Necessary Cookies
  These are cookies that are essential for the functioning of the site or to perform tasks requested by the user. For example, cookies that enable you to access secure areas of the website, or use the shopping cart. Simply put, they make it possible for you to browse and use our Site
• Performance Cookies
  These cookies gather information about how visitors use the Site and monitor Site performance. For example, performance cookies tell us which pages are popular, monitor traffic to our Site and compile anonymous analytic information. Performance cookies can also be used to identify and remedy operational problems with the Site.
• Functionality Cookies
  These cookies are used to recognise and remember your preferences. For example, functionality cookies may use information, such as your location, to make sure that you arrive at a version of our Site that is specific to your city or region.
• Advertising Cookies
  We allow third parties to deliver personalised advertising content on our Site and/or on third party websites and applications. These third parties use cookies to understand your interest in the advertisements and content delivered to you, as well as to serve you with more relevant advertisements based on your activities on our Site. For example, third-party cookies could record information about whether you have clicked on certain content or advertisements on our Site or other websites.

We do not have control over, or access to, third-party advertising cookies or the information they contain. Third parties manage any information that they collect via cookies they place in accordance with their privacy policies. For further information about managing third party cookies please visit the website of the relevant third party or adjust your browser settings.

You can opt-out of third-party personalised advertising cookies (but please note you will still be served online advertisements). To learn more or to opt-out of the use of such third-party personalised advertising cookies in the EU, please visit www.youronlinechoices.eu or alternatively www.aboutcookies.org

How are cookies used?

Cookies are used in order to better understand how applications and websites work and to optimise online and mobile experiences. Cookies do this by allowing the party serving the cookie to analyse a website’s or mobile app’s performance, to identify certain users anonymously and remember their preferences, to better understand whether a computer or device (and probably its user) has visited a website previously and to serve personalised advertisements.

How else can I avoid cookies?

You may be able to avoid certain cookies by configuring your browser settings or opting-out directly with the party that operates and controls the cookie. Please check your browser settings for more information. You also have the ability to accept or decline cookies. You will be presented with a "Cookies Banner" when you first visit our Site and given this option.
