COOKIES NOTICE

The existence of cookies should be notified to the user, either by reference in the privacy policy or ideally by the publication of a distinct cookies policy. This is the Cookie Notice for Aqsty Pro which can be accessed at https://aqstypro.com.

SECTION 1 - DEFINITIONS AND TYPES OF COOKIES

Cookies are small text files made up of letters and numbers which are downloaded onto a device when the user accesses certain websites. As is common practice with almost all professional websites this site uses cookies, which are tiny files that are downloaded to your computer, in order to improve your experience. This page describes what information they gather, how we use it, and why we sometimes need to store these cookies. We will also share how you can prevent these cookies from being stored however this may downgrade or ‘break’ certain elements of the site’s functionality.

Session cookies, which are used to remember what a user has put in an internet shopping basket and for security when a user is accessing internet banking. These are the least intrusive since they expire when the user has finished browsing the website;

Persistent cookies, which allow the preferences or actions of users to be remembered, for example for the next time they browse the website or to target advertising;

First and third-party cookies, which track usage of the website. First party cookies are set by the website owner whereas third party cookies are those set by third parties who may post content on the website users are visiting.

SECTION 2 - GENERAL USAGE OF COOKIES

Website operators cannot use cookies unless they: 

• Tell people the cookies are there;

• Explain what the cookies are doing; and

• Obtain their consent to store a cookie on their device.  

:The regulations related to the collection of data through cookies changed in order to include the requirement for users to expressly opt in to a website’s use of cookies. This position differs from the previous regulations whereby any website operator could store cookies on a user’s computer provided that the user was given the opportunity to refuse such storage, i.e. the right to opt-out.

There are several exceptions to the opt-in requirement, for example, those cookies which are “strictly necessary for the provision of a service” requested by a user or where consent is indicated by a user’s internet browsers. Regulatory guidance emphasizes that these exemptions are narrowly construed and, given the various changes to cookie requirements over the last few years, website operators would be sensible to adopt a more encompassing approach rather than rely on uncertain exemptions.
