1.2. This Notice provides information about our use of cookies, pixels, and social plug-ins in connection with your use of and interaction with this website or any other online presence we manage, including our social media presences and applications (collectively referred to as the "Website"). For information about our processing of personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy at cichart.com.

2.1. A cookie is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored on the user's computer or mobile device by the user's web browser while the user is browsing. Cookies were developed as a reliable mechanism for storing state information on websites (such as items added to a shopping cart) or for recording the user's browsing activity. They may also be used to store information previously entered by the user in form fields.

2.2. Like many other websites, we use cookies on our Website. Different cookies serve different purposes and have different lifespans. The lifetime of a cookie determines how long it remains on your device before it deletes itself.

2.3. Browsers can automatically accept or reject cookies, but you can change these settings at any time. The help menu of most browsers explains how to change your cookie settings, how the browser notifies you when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable cookies altogether. You can also disable or delete cookies you have previously accepted.

2.4. We may also enable you to manage certain cookie categories directly on this Website, for example through:

— a cookie banner on your first visit;

— a link to a third-party website dedicated to managing cookies;

— a dedicated sub-page for managing cookies used on this Website; or

— interactive options, such as buttons integrated into this Notice.

2.5. To further identify, manage, and track cookies enabled on this Website, you may install a cookie tracker.

2.6. On this Website, we may use the following cookies, cookie categories, and other technologies for the purposes indicated:

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the operation of the Website and the provision of services you have requested, for example to enable you to log into secure areas.

Functional Cookies

These cookies store information about choices you make on the Website, such as your username, language preference, or region, so that we can personalise your visit.

Analytical Cookies

These cookies allow us to collect information about how visitors use the Website — for example, to count visitors and track navigation. They do not collect personally identifiable information; all data is anonymous. They help us improve how the Website works.

We may use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"), to analyse your use of the Website. The information generated is subject to Google's privacy and cookie policies. Before transmission to Google's servers, the data is anonymised by removing the last byte of your IP address. Google processes this information on our behalf to compile reports on Website activity. Google will not associate your IP address with any other Google data. You can prevent the collection of your usage data by installing a browser add-on. The Google Analytics cookies used on this Website are:

_ga: contains a unique value to distinguish Website visitors — lifetime: 2 years;

_gid: contains a unique value to distinguish Website visitors — lifetime: 24 hours;

_gat: used to throttle request rates — lifetime: 10 minutes.

Social Media Cookies

These cookies enable you to share content from the Website on social media platforms (e.g. Facebook, X, Instagram). We have no control over these cookies, as they are set by the platforms themselves. Please refer to Section 3 for further information on social plug-ins.

Advertising Cookies

These cookies enable us to deliver tailored advertising to you on third-party websites, based on interests you have shown during your visit to our Website. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable data — all data is anonymous.

We may use retargeting or remarketing technologies provided by third parties to analyse your navigation on our Website and offer you personalised advertising. Neither the third-party providers nor we collect personally identifiable data — only anonymised data. You can configure your browser to prevent such cookies from being stored and to delete previously stored cookies.

We use additional technologies that enable us and third-party providers to offer you a more personalised web experience, for example by serving advertising on your social media channels or enabling you to share your experiences on our Website via social media.

Social Plug-ins

Social plug-ins are small programmes that create a connection between your visit to our Website and a third-party social media platform. The social plug-in informs the third-party provider that you have visited our Website and may cause that provider to receive cookies it has previously placed on your device. We have no control over how these plug-ins operate, what data they collect, or what the third-party provider does with that information. For further information, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective providers.

4.1. For the processing of your personal data under the conditions described in this Cookie Notice — with the exception of strictly necessary and functional cookies — we require your consent.

5.1. Your personal data will only be processed for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes described above, or until you withdraw your consent, unless we have an overriding interest, legal obligation, or court or regulatory order that prevents us from deleting the data.

6.1. Our use of analytical and social media cookies may result in the third-party providers of those cookies receiving certain information about you, including your browsing behaviour. For details, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers.

6.2. We rely on third-party providers such as web hosting companies to process your personal data on our behalf and to make the Website available to you.

7.1. In connection with the use of cookies and other technologies described in this Notice, we may transfer your personal data to third countries, including countries that may not provide an adequate level of data protection as determined by the relevant supervisory authorities. In such cases, we ensure an appropriate level of protection through binding contractual commitments or other recognised safeguards. You may contact us to obtain a copy of the applicable safeguards (see Section 9).

8.1. You have the right to:

— request access to, rectification of, or erasure of your personal data;

— request that we restrict the processing of your personal data — in particular, to object to processing for marketing purposes;
