Aperia Technologies, Inc.
COOKIE POLICY
At Aperia, we believe in being clear and open about how we collect and use data related to you. In the spirit of transparency, this policy provides detailed information about how and when we use Cookies. This Cookie Policy applies to any Aperia product or service that links to this policy or incorporates it by reference. In addition, this Cookie Policy is incorporated into, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Aperia Privacy Policy
What are Cookies?
- Cookies are unique identifiers that we transfer to your device to enable our systems to recognize your device and to improve your online experience. A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred from a website to the hard drive of a user’s computer, often used to provide you with a customized experience. This unique number identifies the user’s web browser but not the user. A cookie will not provide personally identifiable information about users, such as their name and address. The use of Cookies is now an industry standard and Cookies are currently used on most major websites.
- The Help feature on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new Cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable Cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as flash Cookies, by changing the addon’s settings or visiting the Web site of its manufacturer. Because Cookies allow you to take advantage of some of www.Aperia.com’s essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on.
- To find out more about Cookies, including how to see what Cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit wikipedia.org, www.allaboutCookies.org, or www.aboutCookies.org.
Does Aperia use Cookies?
Yes. We use Cookies and other technologies to ensure everyone who uses Aperia has the best possible experience. Cookies also help us keep your account safe. By continuing to visit or use our services, you are agreeing to the use of Cookies and similar technologies for the purposes we describe in this policy.
We only place analytics and marketing cookies with your explicit consent, in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. We do not store personally identifiable information in cookies. The data shared from cookies is limited to anonymized identifiers, such as advertising IDs and page-level interactions.
What Cookies does Aperia use?
Aperia uses Cookies and related data sharing and tracking technologies, including pixel tags, site tags, and IDs (collectively referred to as “Cookies”). Some cookies used on our site are placed by third-party service providers. These may include analytics tools, advertising platforms, or social media plugins. Third-party cookies are subject to the privacy policies of those providers. We do not control how these third parties use your information once collected.
When does Aperia place Cookies?
We use Cookies on our sites and mobile applications. Any browser visiting these sites will receive Cookies from us.
What types of Cookies does Aperia use?
We use two types: persistent Cookies and session Cookies. A persistent cookie helps us recognize you as an existing user, so it’s easier to return to Aperia or interact with our services without signing in again. After you sign in, a persistent cookie stays in your browser and will be read by Aperia when you return to one of our sites or a partner site that uses our services (for example, our sharing or job application buttons). Session Cookies only last for as long as the session (usually the current visit to a website or a browser session).
What are Cookies used for?
Cookies can be used to recognize you when you visit Aperia, remember your preferences, and give you a personalized experience that’s in line with your settings. Cookies also make your interactions with Aperia faster and more secure.
What is Do Not Track (DNT)?
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through our cookie banner or settings page.
Can Cookies be controlled?
Generally, yes. Most browsers allow you to control Cookies through their settings preferences.
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through our cookie banner or settings page.
How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals
Our website also recognizes Global Privacy Control (GPC) and Do Not Track (DNT) signals sent by supported browsers and extensions. When we detect these signals, we treat them as opt-out requests for cookie-based advertising or data sharing in compliance with applicable privacy laws.
What to do if you don’t want Cookies to be set or want them to be removed?
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through our cookie banner or settings page.
How Long Are Cookies Stored?
Cookies can be stored either for the duration of your browsing session or for a longer period:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary and expire once you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device until they expire or are deleted. The duration depends on the specific cookie and its purpose, but typically ranges from 30 days to 2 years.
