This policy explains how this website uses cookies in order to provide clear and relevant information to users on what choices the user has in terms of controlling what happens when he/she accesses the website. The policy uses the term ‘cookies’ to refer to cookies and similar technologies covered by the law (such as, Local Shared Objects – commonly referred to as “flash cookies”, web beacons or bugs, including transparent clear gifs). The gathered information concerns data that could allow to identify web users/visitors by associating and processing them with other data kept by third parties (such as,the IP address, domain and registration numbers of the computers used by people connecting to the website). These data are used and processed only for statistical purposes.
This document is an integral and substantial part of the Privacy Policy and the information notice contained in it, also issued under the ePrivacy law and the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). We recommend, therefore, the reading of that document.
What is a cookie
A cookie is a small file, typically of letters and numbers, downloaded on to a device when the user accesses the website. Cookies are then send back to the originating website on each subsequent visit. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user’s device.
The use of cookies and similar technologies has for some time been commonplace and cookies, in particular, are important in the provision of many online services. Using such technologies is not, therefore, prohibited by the law but they do require that people are told about cookies and given the choice as to which of them they accept.
Different types of cookies
Session and persistent cookies
Cookies can expire at the end of a browser session (from when a user opens the browser window to when they exit the browser) or they can be stored for longer.
Session cookies – allow websites to link the actions of a user during a browser session. They may be used for a variety of purposes such as remembering what a user has put in their shopping basket as they browse around a site. They could also be used for security when a user is accessing internet banking or to facilitate use of webmail. These session cookies expire after a browser session.
The use of the so-called session cookies (that, in any case, are not stored persistently on the user’s computer and are deleted automatically as soon as the browser is shut down) is strictly limited to the purpose of transmitting data (made up of random numbers created by the server) identifying the specific session and necessary to allow a safe and efficient website surfing. The so-called session cookies used in this website avoid any other computer methods that could potentially compromise the privacy about users’ web-surfing.
Persistent cookies – are stored on users’ devices in between browser sessions which allow the preferences or actions of the user across a site (or in some cases across different websites) to be remembered. Persistent cookies may be used for a variety of purposes including remembering users’ preferences and choices when using a site.
First and third-party cookies – Whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the website or domain placing the cookie. First party cookies in basic terms are cookies set by a website visited by the user – the website displayed in the URL window: i.e. cookies set by Aram Capital’s website. Third party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than the one being visited by the user: i.e. cookies which are set by web sites other than aramcapital.com. If a user visits a website (such as aramcapital.com) and a separate company sets a cookie through it, this would be a third-party cookie.
Data controller
Aram Capital, as identified in the privacy policy, is the data controller of – and is liable for – its own cookies, that is, “first party” cookies; otherwise, the “third-party” cookies fall under the controllership of those companies identified through the table contained in this document.
Consent about cookies
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the correct functioning of Internet and do not require user’s consent, such as those ensuring that the content of a page loads quickly and effectively by distributing the workload across numerous computers or else those providing security.
Other cookies are still reasonably necessary or important but they are not strictly essential and, therefore, require user’s consent.
User’s consent can be defined using browser settings, thus refusing or providing consent about cookies by setting up user’s browser to warn of the presence of cookies, allowing the user to decide whether to accept the cookie or not. It is also possible to automatically reject all cookies by activating this option on the browser.
Each browser highlights instructions for this purpose.
Withdrawal of consent
Your consent to the use of cookies can be withdrawn at any time even though the withdrawal of consent might have impacts on the functionality of the website.
