Cookie Policy

Effective Date: 01/20/2024

This Cookie Policy explains how Analytic Acquisitions (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website (the “Site”). This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

Types of Cookies We Use

We may use the following types of cookies:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of our Site. They enable you to navigate the Site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like shopping baskets or e-billing, cannot be provided.
  • Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Site, such as which pages are visited most often and if they receive error messages from web pages. These cookies don’t collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. They are only used to improve how our Site works.
  • Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our Site to remember choices you make (such as your language or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. These cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
  • Targeting or Advertising Cookies (If Applicable): These cookies are used to deliver advertisements relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other organization. If Analytic Acquisitions does not use advertising cookies, this section should be removed or clearly state that we do not use advertising cookies.

Third-Party Cookies

We may also use third-party cookies on our Site. These cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting. For example, we may use Google Analytics to help us analyze how visitors use our Site. These third parties may have their own privacy policies and cookie policies, which we encourage you to review.

How to Control Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • See what cookies you’ve got and delete them on an individual basis.
  • Block third-party cookies.
  • Block cookies from particular sites.
  • Block all cookies.
  • Delete all cookies when you close your browser.

To find out how to manage cookies on your specific browser, you can usually look in the “Help” menu of the browser or visit the browser developer’s website.

Please note: If you disable cookies, some parts of our Site may not function properly.

Remember to replace the bracketed information with your company’s specific details and, most importantly, populate the cookie table with the actual cookies used on your website. Using a browser’s developer tools (usually accessed by pressing F12) can help you identify the cookies being set by your site. It is also highly advisable to consult with a legal professional to ensure your cookie policy is compliant with all applicable laws and regulations, particularly GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements if you have users in the EU.
