Cookie Information

As of: October 2024

These Cookie Information apply to the websites accessible under "auctoa" (the "Website").

This Website uses cookies. Cookies are small files that contain certain information and are stored on your device. Cookies are either from Federico De Ponte or auctoa ("auctoa") – then they are so-called "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 maintaining the language selected by a user for the display of the website. Furthermore, cookies allow the respective publisher (auctoa or a third party) to recognize that a website has been accessed from a certain device before. This makes it possible to recognize returning visitors (or their devices) and to gather information about their usage behaviour and assumed interests.

This information is used to present visitors with relevant advertising for auctoa products and services on the website and on external websites.

Depending on their function and purpose, cookies can be divided into four categories:

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, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms. Without these cookies, the services you requested via the website cannot be provided properly.

Strictly Necessary Cookies do not require the user's consent under applicable law. You can configure your web browser to block even strictly necessary cookies, but you may then not be able to use the website as intended.

If the data processed with the help of strictly necessary cookies is considered personally identifiable in individual cases, auctoa's legitimate interest in operating the website forms the legal basis for processing this data.

**Performance Cookies**

These cookies collect information about the use of the website, e.g., which pages are visited most frequently and how visitors move around the website. They help us better understand user behaviour on our websites.

Other information collected with Performance Cookies may include: the internet browser and operating system used, domain name of the website you came from, number of visits, average time spent, and pages called.

The data generated by the use of Performance Cookies is generally aggregated and cannot be traced back to a specific person. In some cases, however, the data collected can be attributed personally to you (e.g., when opening a user account).

**Functional Cookies**

These cookies allow a website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or region) and provide better, more personalised features.

Insofar as the data processed with the aid of functional cookies is considered personally identifiable in individual cases, the user's consent forms the legal basis for processing this data.

**Marketing Cookies**

Marketing Cookies (also called 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 any potentially personally identifiable data with the help of Marketing Cookies is the user's 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 an arrangement specifying their respective responsibilities for data protection.

For inquiries related to this Cookie Notice, please contact the data protection organisation at dataprotection@auctoa.de.
