Cookie Policy of {acf_company_name}

This document informs Users about the technologies that this Website uses to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies allow the Owner to access and store information (for example by using a Cookie) or use resources (for example by running a script) on a User's device as they interact with this Website over time.

For simplicity, all of these technologies will be referred to as “Trackers” in this document – unless there is a reason to differentiate.
While cookies can be used on both web and mobile browsers, it would be inaccurate to talk about cookies in the context of mobile apps, as cookies are browser-based trackers. Therefore, in this document, the term cookies is used exclusively to refer to that specific type of tracker.

Certain purposes for which Trackers are installed also require the User's consent. Once consent has been given, it can be freely revoked at any time following the instructions in this document.

This Website uses Trackers managed directly by the Owner (so-called "first-party Trackers") and Trackers that provide services offered by third parties (so-called "third-party Trackers"). Unless otherwise specified within this document, third-party providers may access the Trackers managed by them.

The validity and expiration periods of first-party Cookies and other similar Trackers may vary depending on the lifespan set by the Owner or the relevant provider. Some of them expire upon termination of the User's browsing session.
In addition to what’s specified in the descriptions within each of the categories below, Users may find more precise and updated information regarding lifespan specification as well as any other relevant information – such as the presence of other Trackers – in the linked privacy policies of the respective third-party providers or by contacting the Owner.
