What Cookies Are

Cookies are pieces of text or small text files placed on your device (e.g., laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) through your web browser when you access a website. Your browser stores cookies in a manner associated with each website you visit, and cookies are used as identifiers.

You may prevent cookies from being stored on your device by adjusting the appropriate settings in your browser or by using the tools described below. Please note, however, that this may limit the functionality of our website or Services, or prevent you from accessing certain features.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to allow our Services to work properly, understand website traffic, and help us analyze how and when you visit and use the Services through the web. We also use cookies to improve our products and services and to tailor our communications to you. There are different types of cookies used for different purposes, and the types of collected personal data and lawful basis vary depending on the category of cookies used.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for our website and other Services to function properly and provide you with some of the core features. The use of these cookies does not require your consent, and they are automatically installed on your device each time you access our Services. This type of automatic collection and storage of information is done through so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits when you visit websites or web-based services.

We install and process personal data collected by essential cookies based on our legitimate interests to ensure the functionality and security of our Services.

Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to collect information about how you use our Services so we can tailor and target advertising and communications based on your interests and behavior on our Services, determine commissions for our online marketing partners, learn about the efficiency of online marketing measures, generate leads, optimize our online reach, and track online marketing campaigns. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less tailored advertising.

Marketing cookies identify your browser and internet device. They connect our Services to third-party platforms of our online marketing partners, enabling us to track the success of our online marketing activities, link a page visit, signup, or decision for a paid plan to an affiliate marketing activity, and personalize advertising displayed on third-party platforms.

We install marketing cookies only based on your consent. Please see below how to review and manage your consents.

Statistics/Performance Cookies

Statistics/Performance cookies (also called "Analytics Cookies") collect data regarding how the Services are used—for example, which pages have been visited, which keywords have been used, and which links have been clicked. The purpose of this processing is to provide, improve, and optimize our products and services. Statistics cookies may connect our Services to third-party analytics platforms to help us track usage patterns and improve user experience.

We install statistics cookies only based on your consent. Please see below how to review and manage your consents.

Cookies Associated with QR Codes

We also use cookies to track when you have scanned or clicked on a QR code generated through our Services. Each scan or click of a QR code is tracked using a unique identifier assigned to you in one or more cookies stored by your web browser.

We process personal data collected by cookies associated with QR codes based on our legitimate interests to provide our Services, including ensuring their functionality, security, and analytics capabilities.

Third-Party Cookies

Subject to your consent, we use cookie-based third-party technologies to track the use of our Services and for marketing efforts. Please note that our policies, including this Cookie Policy and our Privacy Policy, only cover the use of cookies for purposes of Security Web Solutions and do not cover third-party usage beyond our control.

Our third-party partners (such as Google, Meta/Facebook, and others) may also use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, or similar technologies to collect or receive information from websites, including our website, and elsewhere on the internet. They use that information to provide measurement services and target advertising (for example, based on your browsing activities and interests) for their own purposes.

Google LLC (Google Ads, Google Maps, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads Conversion Tracking, Google Analytics)
Meta Platforms, Inc. (Facebook Ads, Facebook Pixel)
