A cookie placed directly by the www.adsparx.com domain.

A cookie or similar technology managed by another provider in connection with a functionality or service used on our website.

Depending on their duration, cookies may be classified as:

1. Session cookies

These are stored temporarily and are generally deleted when the browser session ends or when the browser is closed.

2. Persistent cookies

These remain on your device for a predefined period or until you delete them.

The duration of each cookie depends on its specific purpose and technical configuration.

Where applicable, information about the specific duration of cookies used on the website may be available through the “Cookie Settings” panel on www.adsparx.com.

IX. HOW DO WE OBTAIN YOUR CONSENT?

  2. Reject non-essential cookies;

  3. Make an individual choice by category;

  4. Obtain additional information about the technologies used.

Failure to make a choice, continuing to browse the website or closing the panel does not in itself constitute consent to the use of non-essential cookies.

Where consent is required, the relevant technology will only be activated following an action that clearly indicates your choice.

X. HOW CAN YOU CHANGE OR WITHDRAW YOUR CONSENT?

You may change your choices regarding non-essential cookies at any time.

  2. Enable an additional category;

  3. Disable a particular non-essential category;

  4. Review current information about the technologies used.

Withdrawal of consent is free of charge and should be possible in a manner comparable in ease to the way in which consent was originally provided.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the use of technologies or processing carried out on the basis of valid consent before its withdrawal.

XII. GOOGLE CONSENT MODE AND CONSENT SIGNALS

Where www.adsparx.com uses Google services, the website may communicate information about a visitor’s choices regarding analytics and advertising functionalities to the relevant Google technologies.

Such consent signals allow the behaviour of the relevant Google services to be adapted according to the consent granted or refused by the visitor.

The use of a consent signalling mechanism does not replace the requirement to obtain valid consent where such consent is required by law.
