Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Aventur (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the public marketing pages of aventur.co (the “Website”).

This policy does not cover storage or tracking technologies used within Aventur’s mobile app or signed-in web app.

It explains:

• what cookies are
• why we use them
• the types of cookies we use
• how you can control them

Please read this policy alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet or mobile) when you visit a website.

They allow websites to:

• remember your preferences
• make the site function correctly
• understand how visitors use the site
• improve performance and security
• measure marketing effectiveness

Cookies may be set on our Website’s domain (“first-party cookies”) or on another provider’s domain (“third-party cookies”). Third-party services can also set first-party cookies on our Website.

Similar technologies include local storage, pixels and software that stores information on, or accesses information from, your device. The same rules can apply to these technologies even when they are not called cookies.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies to:

• ensure the Website works properly
• keep the Website secure
• remember your settings and preferences
• understand how visitors use our Website
• improve user experience and performance
• support product and service development

We do not use cookies to make automated financial or investment decisions about you.

3. Types of cookies we use

We group cookies into two categories.

A. Strictly necessary cookies (no consent required)

These cookies are used where they are essential to provide a Website service you request. Some are used only when you use a particular feature, such as a form.

They enable core features such as:

• security
• fraud prevention
• remembering cookie preferences

These cookies do not require your consent.

If you block them, parts of the Website may not work correctly.

B. Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use our Website.

They allow us to:

• count visitors
• see which pages are most popular
• understand how users move around the site
• improve speed and performance
• test improvements

Google Analytics uses cookie identifiers to distinguish browsers and maintain session information. We use this information to produce statistical reports about Website usage. Cookie identifiers and associated usage information may be personal data; statistical reporting does not mean that all information collected is anonymous.

These cookies are only set with your consent.

4. Cookies we use

The tables below describe the cookies used on the Website, their providers, purposes and lifetimes. We will update this policy when our use of cookies changes and obtain fresh consent where required.

Cookie lifetimes describe how long a cookie can remain on your device. They are separate from how long information collected using the cookie is retained by us or our providers.

Strictly necessary

Analytics (consent required)

In the cookie name above, ID represents the identifier for our Google Analytics configuration. Actual lifetimes can be shorter because of browser limits, settings or deletion. A cookie’s expiry may be renewed when you return to the Website, depending on its configuration.

5. Cookie consent and data protection

The UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) govern the storage of information on, and access to information from, your device.

• Strictly necessary cookies: consent is not required where the cookie is strictly necessary to provide a service you request. This is an exemption under PECR, not a “legitimate interests” legal basis for setting cookies.
• Analytics cookies: we use consent for the Google Analytics cookies described in this policy and only set them after you accept them through our cookie banner.

Although PECR allows some limited statistical uses without consent when its conditions are met, our Website uses the consent-based approach described here.

Where cookies or similar technologies involve personal data, the UK GDPR also applies. Consent is the lawful basis for personal data processing associated with our consent-based analytics. Any personal data processing associated with strictly necessary technologies must have a separate, appropriate UK GDPR lawful basis, explained in our Privacy Notice.

6. How you control cookies

When you first visit our Website, you will see a cookie banner that allows you to:

• accept all cookies
• reject non-essential cookies

You can change your preferences or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking “Cookie Settings” in the Website footer and rejecting non-essential cookies. You can use the Website without accepting analytics cookies.

When you withdraw consent, we stop using consent-based analytics and the associated processing of personal data. We treat withdrawal as a request to erase personal data collected under that consent, subject to applicable legal exceptions, and notify relevant recipients where required. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

For help removing existing analytics cookies or exercising your rights over information already collected, contact us using the details in section 9.

You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some parts of the Website may not function correctly. Deleting your cookie-preference cookie may cause the banner to appear again. Browser settings are an additional control, not a substitute for our cookie consent mechanism.

7. Third-party services

We use Google services for the purposes described in section 4:

• Google Analytics: to analyse Website usage after you give consent.
• Google reCAPTCHA: to help protect forms from spam, bots and abuse. This involves Google processing information for security risk analysis, not just storing a cookie.

For more information about how these technologies work, see Google Analytics cookie information and Google’s reCAPTCHA FAQs.

Our Privacy Notice should be read alongside this policy for information about our processing of personal data, service providers, retention, international transfers and your rights.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time.

Any changes will be published on this page with an updated date.
