Effective date: July 20, 2022 | Last Updated: September 15, 2022

Abalta Technologies, Inc. (“Abalta”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) care about your privacy. Thank you for taking the time to read our Cookie Policy. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use in addition to when and why we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on https://abaltatech.com/ (“Website”)

What is a cookie

A cookie is a small text file that we store on your browser or your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.)  if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your device’s memory or computer’s hard drive. There are three main types of cookies:

  • Session cookies: specific to a particular visit and limited to sending session identifiers (random numbers generated by the server) so you don’t have to re-enter information when you navigate to a new page or check out.  Session cookies are not permanently stored on your device and are deleted when the browser closes;
  • Persistent cookies: record information about your preferences and are stored in your browser cache or mobile device; and
  • First and third-party cookies: whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the website or domain placing the cookie. First party cookies, in basic terms, are cookies set by a website visited by the user (the website displayed in the URL window), e.,cookies set by the Website. Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than the one being visited by the user: i.e., cookies which are set by websites other than the Website. If a user visits our Website and a separate company sets a cookie through it, this would be a third-party cookie.

Purpose of cookies

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the use of the Website; others make it possible to optimize the use of the Website and personalize the contents displayed. Cookies make it possible to (1) measure and analyze the frequency and use of the Website’s sections and services so that we can improve the functionality of the Website’s and our services, and (2) measure safety and performance.

 

We use the following cookies: 

  • Analytical or performance cookies. These allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our Website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our Website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
  • Functionality cookies. These are used to recognize you when you return to our Website. This enables us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
  • Marketing cookies. These cookies record your visits to our Website, the pages you have visited, and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our Website more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.

Other Information Storing Technologies

  • IP Addresses. Internet Protocol (IP) address is a specific identifier with which the electronic devices can identify and communicate with each other online. We may see our visitors’ IP addresses and use this information to comprehend where our visitors come from to improve our service.
  • Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is a programming code that is designed to collect information about the links you click on and your interactions with the Website. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your device from our web server or a third-party service provider and is active only while you are connected to the Website and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.
  • Other Your browser or device may utilize local shared objects or local storage, such as flash cookies, HTML 5 cookies, and other web application software methods. These instruments may operate through all the browsers, and in certain cases, they may not be managed by your browser or may require it to be managed through your installed applications directly. We do not use these technologies for storing information to target advertising to you on or off our Website.

How Long Will Cookies Stay on My Device?

Some of the cookies we use are deleted after termination of the browser session, i.e., after your browser window is closed (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device and enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). The data stored in the persistent cookies will be retained until the expiration date is reached (no longer than 2 years).

Consent

When you access our Website, you will have a choice to accept or reject the use of certain cookies. If you consent to the use of cookies, a consent cookie will be placed on your computer.

If you reject the use of cookies, a rejection cookie will be placed on your computer so that we can record that you have rejected using certain cookies on the Website. If the rejection cookie is deleted, we will not be able to identify whether you have rejected the use of cookies.

In addition, you may withdraw your consent. However, your withdrawal will not retroactively affect the lawfulness of the processing of data before you withdrew your consent.

 

How Do I Change My Cookie Settings?

You can configure your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set, or you can decide on an individual basis whether to accept cookies or reject the acceptance of cookies in general.

Not all cookies are set by us. Some cookies may be set through third-party services appearing on our pages. Third-party cookies are not in our control but are under the control of a third party.

Any other processing of your data will take place only if you have allowed Google to link your web and app browser history to your Google account and to use information from your Google account to personalize ads that you see on the web.
