This Cookie Policy (“Cookie Policy”) is provided by Avanquest Software SAS (“we”, “us” or “Avanquest Software’’), the operator of the Avanquest Websites and the websites of its registered brands, as we may make available from time to time (the “Websites”).

This Cookie Policy is designed to inform you about the use of cookies and other online technologies used as part of the Websites operation and constitutes an integral part of our Privacy Policy.

Cookies and similar web-technologies

Cookies, together with similar technologies, such as tags, web beacons and pixels, are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites properly function, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the operators of the Website’s activity. The table below explains the cookies we use and why we use them.

The type of Cookies we use and why

We use several types of cookies on the Websites, including those used by some of our service providers, to help us with operating and maintaining the Websites, so as to understand the type and level of user engagement with our Websites and the elements and services included within. 

We refer to four (4) main categories of cookies:

Category	Purpose of usage	Lawful basis
Essential / Strictly Necessary	We use necessary cookies to make our Website operational and functional.	As this category of cookies is required for the basic functionality of the Websites, we use them based on legitimate interest.
Performance & Analytics	Cookies that help us understand how visitors interact with the Websites and related services, by providing information about the areas visited, the time spent on the Websites, and any issues encountered, such as error messages.  Cookies in this category also help us comply with data protection legislation by saving confirmations, requests to opt-in or opt-out from certain services we may offer from time to time.	We consider this category optional (however highly required for our ability to improve our Websites and related services). Therefore, we will use this category upon your consent.
Functionality	Cookies that allow the Websites to provide enhanced functionality that eases our visitors and make their experience more personalized.  Those would normally be set by third-party services and include services such as: “remember” the choices that visitors make (such as user name, preferred language, region or other settings defined by the user) and to provide a more personalized online experience. They can also enable visitors to watch videos, play games and engage with social tools, such as blogs, chatrooms and forums.	The use of this category of cookies will be made upon your consent.
Marketing/ Advertising	This type of cookie may be set through our Website by advertising partners that help us advertise and promote our Services. They may be used by those companies to understand users’ interests and show them relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.	The use of this category of cookies will be made upon your consent.

Consent and choice

Necessary cookies are always used by default, to make the Websites work. We would also like to set optional cookies to help us improve it and better understand how visitors actually make use of it. We won’t set optional cookies unless you enable them, except for analytics cookies, in which case, would be used in a full anonymized way.

Pay attention, that your opt-out or unacceptance of certain cookies, may cause a different functionality in some areas of our offered functionalities and services.
