The websites https://adapex.io and http://matrix.adapex.io (collectively, the “Websites”) use cookies. In this cookie policy (the “Cookie Policy”), we specify the types of cookies that we use, the purposes for which each of the cookies is used, and explain how you can manage your cookies in order to make your browsing experience more pleasant and more efficient in the future.
1. Who is responsible for cookies on the Websites?
The Websites are owned and operated by Adapex Inc having a registered business address at 3422 Old Capitol Trail #670, Wilmington, DE 19808, the United States of America (“we”, “us”, and “our”). We are a data controller that is responsible for the processing of your personal data through the Websites and controlling first-party cookies on the Websites.
Like almost all websites, we use small data files that are stored on your device (‘Device’) to record certain data whenever you access or interact with our web services. The specific names and types of cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies used may change over time. To help you better understand the Data Controller’s rules and the use of these technologies, here are some terms and their definitions.
- Cookie – Small texts (usually consisting of letters and numbers) that are saved in the memory of your browser or Device when you visit a site or view a message. Cookies allow a site to recognise a particular Device or browser. Cookies can be disabled or removed using the tools available in most browsers. Cookie preferences must be set separately for each browser used, as each browser offers specific features and options. The different types of cookies are listed below.
- Technical cookies: this type of cookie comes from the website displayed and may be permanent or temporary; they can be used to store information that will be reused the next time you visit the site. They can be useful to make browsing on websites quick and fast (for example, they help to facilitate certain procedures when shopping online, when authenticating to restricted areas, in recognising the language used to read information on the web). Depending on the service they are to perform, they may be temporary (they are removed from the computer when the browser is closed), or permanent (they remain stored on the computer even after closing the browser).
- Profiling cookies: these are designed to create profiles about the user and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user when browsing online.
- Third-party cookies: these are installed by a site other than the one you are visiting. These cookies are sent to your browser by third party companies for their own purposes such as profiling, advertising delivery or social interaction.
- Third-party cookies independent from the Controller: these are installed on your browser by companies and third parties acting independently from the Controller for their own purposes. These cookies, including social network cookies, are used by these companies to analyse the navigation, activities and preferences of users and/or to profile them independently from the needs of the services we are providing to you. These cookies also include cookies from companies that are members of the IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau), the self-regulatory organisation that develops standards and represents those involved in the online advertising industry.
- Web beacon – Fragments of code that allow a website to transfer or collect information by requesting a graphic image; they can be used for various purposes, such as analysing website usage, monitoring and reporting on advertisements, and personalising advertisements and content.
Similar Technologies – Technologies that store data in the browser or Device using locally shared objects or local storage, such as flash cookies, HTML 5 cookies and other web application software methods. These technologies work in all browsers. In some cases, the use of local storage cannot be fully managed by browsers, but requires management by specific tools
