Cookie Policy

Last Updated: November 15, 2023

This Cookie Policy explains how Bativi & Dumitu Consulting uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our website. Third parties serve cookies through our website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Website Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas.

Performance and Functionality Cookies

These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our website but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable.

Analytics and Customization Cookies

These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our website for you.

Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

Social Networking Cookies

These cookies are used to enable you to share pages and content that you find interesting on our website through third-party social networking and other websites. These cookies may also be used for advertising purposes.

4. How Can You Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by clicking on the appropriate opt-out links provided in our cookie banner or by configuring your browser settings accordingly.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, as it will no longer be personalized to you.

6. Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage:

Web Beacons

Small graphic images that may be included on our website that allow us to count users who have visited those pages and to collect other website statistics.

Local Storage

We may use local storage (HTML5) to store content information and preferences. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5 local storage.

Pixels

We may use pixels to understand how users interact with our website and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

7. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Our website does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals as there is no standard for how online services should respond to such signals.

8. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, or our data practices. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
