Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how ASD may use cookies and similar technologies on the ASD website and platform.

Cookies are small text files that may be stored on a user’s device when visiting a website. They can help a website function, remember preferences, improve performance, support analytics, and provide security.

This Cookie Policy is prepared as a draft structure and should be reviewed by a qualified Cyprus/EU lawyer or data protection advisor before publication or commercial launch.

Cookies are small files placed on a device, browser, or application when a user visits a website.

Cookies may allow ASD to recognise a device or browser during a visit or on later visits.

Cookies may be set directly by ASD or by third-party service providers used for hosting, analytics, security, payment, communication, or other platform functions.

ASD may also use technologies similar to cookies, such as local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, scripts, SDKs, or tracking technologies.

These technologies may help operate the platform, remember choices, measure website performance, understand user behaviour, prevent fraud, support payment flows, or improve services.

For simplicity, this policy may refer to cookies and similar technologies together as cookies.

ASD may use strictly necessary cookies, preference cookies, performance or analytics cookies, security cookies, functional cookies, and, if added later, marketing or advertising cookies.

The exact cookies used will depend on ASD’s final website tools, hosting provider, analytics setup, payment provider, security tools, and third-party integrations.

Before launch, ASD should prepare a final cookie table listing each cookie name, provider, purpose, duration, and whether consent is required.

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website or platform to function properly.

These may support page loading, secure login, account sessions, dashboard access, form submission, fraud prevention, security, and technical platform operation.

Because these cookies are necessary for the service to work, they may not require user consent, but they should still be explained clearly in this policy.

Preference cookies may remember choices made by users, such as language preferences, display settings, saved choices, or cookie consent preferences.

These cookies can improve user experience by avoiding the need to repeat the same choices on every visit.

Depending on the final implementation and applicable legal advice, some preference cookies may require consent unless they are strictly necessary for a user-requested function.

Analytics and performance cookies may help ASD understand how visitors use the website, which pages are visited, how users interact with campaigns, and how the platform can be improved.

Analytics data may include page visits, browser type, device type, approximate location, traffic source, session duration, clicks, and technical performance information.

Where required by applicable law, ASD should request user consent before placing non-essential analytics cookies.

ASD may decide in the future to use marketing or advertising cookies for remarketing, campaign measurement, social media advertising, or personalised advertising.

These cookies are not essential for the website to function and will usually require prior user consent where applicable.

If ASD uses marketing or advertising cookies, this policy should be updated with the relevant providers, purposes, cookie names, durations, and consent options.

Some cookies may be set by third-party providers used by ASD, such as hosting providers, analytics tools, payment providers, embedded media tools, security providers, email tools, or social media platforms.

Third-party providers may process cookie-related information according to their own terms and privacy policies.

ASD should review all third-party tools before launch and ensure that users are clearly informed about any third-party cookies used.

ASD should provide users with a clear cookie notice or cookie banner where required.

Users should be able to accept or reject non-essential cookies where consent is required.

Consent should be freely given, specific, informed, and capable of being withdrawn where applicable.

ASD should not place non-essential cookies that require consent before the user has given consent.

Users may be able to manage cookie preferences through the ASD cookie banner or cookie settings tool, once implemented.

Users may also manage or delete cookies through their browser settings.

Blocking certain cookies may affect website performance, login sessions, dashboard access, campaign functionality, or other user experience features.

ASD may use cookies or similar technologies to support account login, authentication sessions, dashboard access, profile management, campaign browsing, and claim-related functionality.

Some account-related cookies may be necessary for secure platform operation.

If users disable necessary cookies, some ASD features may not work correctly.

If ASD uses third-party payment providers, those providers may use cookies or similar technologies to support secure payment processing, fraud prevention, payment verification, billing, or subscription management.

Payment-related cookies may be controlled by the relevant payment provider and may be subject to that provider’s own privacy and cookie notices.

ASD should confirm its final payment provider before publishing the final cookie table.

Some cookies may last only during a browser session, while others may remain on a device for a longer period.

Session cookies are usually deleted when the browser is closed.

Persistent cookies may remain until they expire, are deleted by the user, or are removed by the browser.

The final cookie table should explain the duration of each cookie used by ASD.

ASD may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in cookies, website tools, analytics providers, payment providers, marketing tools, or legal requirements.

Updated versions may be published on this page with a revised date.

Users may contact ASD with questions about this Cookie Policy or cookie settings using the contact details provided on the website.

Final company contact details should be added before publication.
