Cookie Notice
As of: October 2024
This Cookie Notice applies to the websites accessible under “auctoa” (the “Website”).
This website uses cookies. Cookies are small files containing certain information that are stored on your device. Cookies originate either from Federico De Ponte or auctoa (“auctoa”) – in which case they are referred to as “First Party Cookies” – or from certain third parties whose services auctoa uses; in this case, they are called “Third Party Cookies.”
Cookies are necessary to provide certain functionalities on websites, such as retaining the language chosen by a user for website display. Furthermore, cookies enable the respective publisher (auctoa or a third party) to recognize that a website has been accessed from a particular device before. This makes it possible to recognize returning visitors (or their devices) and gain information about their usage behavior and presumed interests.
This information is used to present visitors with relevant advertisements for auctoa products and services on the Website and on third-party websites.
Depending on their function and purpose, cookies can be categorized into four types:
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
2. Performance Cookies
3. Functional Cookies
4. Marketing Cookies
**Strictly Necessary Cookies**
These cookies are essential for you to navigate the website and use its features, for example, to set your privacy preferences, log in, or fill out forms. Without these cookies, the services you request through the website cannot be provided properly.
Strictly necessary cookies do not require user consent according to applicable law. You can configure your web browser to block strictly necessary cookies, but you may then be unable to use the website as intended.
If, in individual cases, the data processed with the help of strictly necessary cookies is considered personal data, auctoa’s legitimate interest in operating the website forms the legal basis for processing this data.
**Performance Cookies**
These cookies collect information about how the website is used, such as which pages are visited most frequently and how visitors navigate around the website. They help us better understand user behavior on our websites.
Other information collected with performance cookies can include internet browser and operating system used, the domain name of the website you came from, the number of visits, average time spent on the site, and pages accessed.
The data collected through the use of performance cookies is generally aggregated and does not allow for identification of a specific individual. In some cases, however, the collected data may be personally attributable to you (e.g., when setting up a user account).
**Functional Cookies**
These cookies enable a website to save choices you make such as your username, language, or region and provide you with enhanced, more personalized features.
If, in individual cases, the data processed with the help of functional cookies is considered personal data, the user's consent provides the legal basis for processing this data.
**Marketing Cookies**
Marketing Cookies (also known as Targeting or Advertising Cookies) are used to display advertisements on third-party websites that are more relevant to the user and their interests.
The legal basis for processing personal data potentially processed with the help of marketing cookies is user consent.
SCAILE Technologies GmbH and auctoa are jointly responsible for personal data collected through cookies, as described in this Cookie Notice, and have agreed on their respective responsibilities for data protection.
For inquiries related to this Cookie Notice, please contact the data protection organization at dataprotection@auctoa.de.
