Cookie Policy

Cookie Policy of www.althaus.agency

This document contains information regarding the technologies that enable this Application to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies allow the Data Controller to collect and store information (for example, through the use of Cookies) or to utilise resources (for example, by running a script) on the User’s device when the latter interacts with this Application.

For simplicity, in this document, such technologies are collectively referred to as “Tracking Tools,” unless there is a reason to differentiate.

For instance, although Cookies may be used in both web and mobile browsers, it would be inappropriate to refer to Cookies in the context of mobile applications since they are Tracking Tools that require the presence of a browser. Therefore, in this document, the term Cookie is only used to specifically refer to that particular type of Tracking Tool.

Some of the purposes for which Tracking Tools are employed may also require the User’s consent. If consent is given, it can be freely withdrawn at any time by following the instructions contained in this document.

This Application uses Tracking Tools managed directly by the Data Controller (commonly referred to as “first-party Tracking Tools”) and Tracking Tools that enable services provided by third parties (commonly referred to as “third-party Tracking Tools”). Unless otherwise specified in this document, these third parties have access to their respective Tracking Tools.

The duration and expiration of Cookies and other similar Tracking Tools may vary depending on what is set by the Data Controller or each third-party provider. Some of them expire at the end of the User’s browsing session.

In addition to what is specified in the description of each of the categories listed below, Users can obtain more detailed and up-to-date information on the duration, as well as any other relevant information—such as the presence of other Tracking Tools—in the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers (via the links provided) or by contacting the Data Controller.

Users can use their browser settings to:
