This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are, which cookies we use on our website, for what purposes, and how you can manage or withdraw your consent.

This notice is provided in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, “GDPR”), the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC, as implemented in applicable national laws), and relevant guidance issued by EU and national supervisory authorities on cookies and tracking technologies.

What cookies are and how they work

Cookies are small text files that websites send to a user’s device (computer, smartphone, tablet) while the user is browsing. Cookies are stored on the device and then sent back to the website on subsequent visits.

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies (e.g., pixels, tags, web beacons, local storage, SDKs) that can perform comparable functions such as measurement, analytics, personalization, and marketing.

Categories of cookies we use

Our website may use the following categories of cookies:

A) Strictly necessary (technical) cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and to provide the service requested by the user (e.g., page navigation, security, session management).
Legal basis: our legitimate interest in providing a functional and secure website and/or performance of a contract/service requested by the user.
Consent required: No (where permitted by law).

B) Preference cookies (functional)

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (e.g., language, region) and provide enhanced, more personal features.
Legal basis: your consent (where required by law).
Consent required: Yes (in most cases).

C) Analytics (performance/statistics) cookies

These cookies help us understand how users interact with our website by collecting information in aggregated or, in some cases, non-aggregated form (e.g., pages visited, time spent, traffic sources).
We may use:

First-party analytics (managed directly by AAYS), and/or

Third-party analytics (managed by external providers).

Depending on configuration and applicable law, analytics cookies may require consent.
Legal basis: your consent (unless they qualify as exempt, where permitted).
Consent required: Usually yes.

D) Marketing / advertising cookies

These cookies are used to deliver relevant ads and marketing communications, measure campaign effectiveness, and build user profiles based on browsing behavior. They may also be used by third parties.
Legal basis: your consent.
Consent required: Yes.

E) Social media cookies

These cookies may be set by social media platforms to enable content sharing and interaction (e.g., “Like” buttons) and may track your browsing across different sites.
Legal basis: your consent.
Consent required: Yes.

How we collect and manage your consent (cookie banner / preference center)

When you first access our website, a cookie banner allows you to:

Accept all cookies

Reject non-essential cookies

Customize your preferences (by category/vendor, where available)

Your choices are recorded and can be changed at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link available on the website [footer/header].
You can also withdraw consent at any time; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Note: If you disable certain cookies, parts of the website may not function properly.
