Aquestia  – Cookie Policy

Last Revised: September 28, 2025

Aquestia Ltd. (and its affiliates) (collectively, “Aquestia ”, “we”, “our” or “us”) welcomes you (the “User(s)”, or “you”) to our website at https://www.aquestia.com/ (the “Site”). We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. We aim to be as open and transparent as possible around the information we collect when you visit and use our Site, including through the use of “Tracking Technologies” and other similar tracking technologies (as defined below).

1. Introduction

This cookie policy (“Cookie Policy”) explains what Tracking Technologies (as defined below) are and how we use them. It also explains the different types of Tracking Technologies we use, and how you can change or delete them. We hope that this policy will assist you in understanding, and feeling more confident about, our use of Tracking Technologies.

For information on how your information is collected and used by us in general, please see our Privacy Policy at https://www.aquestia.com/privacy-policy-2/ (“Privacy Policy”). This Cookie Policy is incorporated into the Privacy Policy and forms an integral part thereof.

2. What are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

When you access or use our Site, we and our authorized third-party service providers may employ industry-standard technologies, including cookies, web beacons, pixels, clear GIFs, local storage objects, and other similar tracking technologies (collectively, “Tracking Technologies“). These technologies store certain information locally on your device and may enable us to recognize your device and distinguish it from those of other users, provide targeted and behavior-based advertising (as further described below), remember your preferences and settings to provide a personalized experience, enhance the performance, functionality, and user experience of our Site, deliver customized content and services based on your individual interests, device type, and browser specifications), and facilitate essential site functions such as authentication and security.

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit our Site. They contain information that can be read by our servers when you return to our services, allowing us to recognize your device and remember your preferences across sessions.

Pixels and Web Beacons are tiny, transparent graphic images, typically measuring 1×1 pixel, that are embedded in web pages, emails, or advertisements. These tracking pixels operate by loading from our servers or third-party servers when you view content, thereby registering your interaction and collecting information about your device, browser, and behavior. Unlike cookies, pixels do not store information directly on your device but instead transmit data back to the server that hosts them. We may use pixels to track email opens, measure advertising effectiveness, count unique visitors, monitor conversion rates, and gather analytics about how users interact with our content across different platforms and devices.

Local Storage Objects include HTML5 local storage, session storage, and other browser-based storage mechanisms that can store larger amounts of data than traditional cookies and may persist even after cookies are deleted.

The Tracking Technologies deployed on our Site may collect and store both personal and non-personal information. Non-personal information includes pages visited, time spent on site, customization choices. All such information is collected and processed in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in this Privacy Policy.

We also collect user persistent identifiers, which are unique identifiers that allow us to recognize returning visitors across sessions, and preference data including language settings, display preferences, and other customization choices. All such information is collected and processed in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in this Privacy Policy.

We utilize two primary categories of cookies and similar technologies. Session cookies expire automatically when you close your web browser and are used primarily for essential site functionality and temporary data storage during your browsing session. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until manually deleted or until their predetermined expiration date, enabling us to remember your preferences and recognize you as a returning user across multiple visits.

Aquestia and our authorized third-party service providers may access information collected through these Tracking Technologies. We work only with reputable service providers who are contractually obligated to handle your information in accordance with applicable privacy laws and our privacy standards. These third parties may also deploy their own tracking pixels and similar technologies to collect data for analytics, advertising, and performance measurement purposes.

3. Do we track whether users open our emails?

Our emails may contain a single “web beacon pixel” which enables us to verify whether our emails (and any links or advertisements within the email) are opened. We may use this information to determine whether our emails are of interest to Users, to approach Users who do not open our emails and verify whether they wish to continue receiving them and to inform our advertisers in aggregate of the audience size for their advertisements. Please note that such “web beacon pixel” will be deleted once you delete the email from your email account. If you do not wish the “web beacon pixel” to be downloaded to your device at all, please set your email account settings to receive emails from us in plain text rather than HTML.

4.  What sort of Cookies do our Site use?

Generally, our Tracking Technologies perform the following functions:

●  Essential Tracking Technologies – those Tracking Technologies are essential to navigate around the Site and use its features. For example, they allow us to remember your Cookie preferences and to verify if something is not working properly, so we can fix it quickly.

● Analytical and Performance Tracking Technologies – those Tracking Technologies are used to analyze how our Users use our Site and to monitor the Site’s performance. For example, we might use performance Tracking Technologies to keep track of which pages are frequently visited and from what locations our Users come from. We might also use these Tracking Technologies to highlight Site services that we think will be of interest to you based on your usage of the Site. We generally use third party Tracking Technologies to perform these services, for example, Google Analytics.

● Functionality Tracking Technologies – those Tracking Technologies allow us to operate the Site in accordance with your preferences when browsing or using the Site. For example, such Tracking Technologies recall your customization preferences, such as your preferred text size, fonts, languages and other parts of the Site that are alterable. 

● Targeting Tracking Technologies – those Tracking Technologies collect information about your activities on our Site, thus enabling us to advertise our products and services, directly to you, on third party platforms (such as Facebook), including across browsers and devices. For more information on the development of user-profiles and the use of targeting/advertising Tracking Technologies, please see https://youradchoices.com/choices-faq#jr02.

Below are certain specific Cookies you can find on our Site:

5. Your Control and Management Options

Most modern web browsers and devices provide you with comprehensive control over Tracking Technologies through built-in privacy settings. You may configure your browser to reject all or certain types of cookies, set your browser to alert you before cookies or other tracking technologies are deployed on your device, remove previously stored cookies and local storage data at any time, and customize settings for different websites and technology categories.

Important Notice: If you choose to block, restrict, or delete Tracking Technologies, please be aware that certain features and functionality of our Site may be limited or unavailable. Essential functions, personalization features, and your saved preferences may not work properly. Additionally, blocking pixels and web beacons may prevent us from measuring performance and delivering optimized user experiences.

Analytics and Performance Tracking

We partner with reputable analytics service providers, including Google Analytics, to gain insights into user behavior and improve our services. These providers may place persistent cookies, deploy tracking pixels, and employ other tracking technologies to monitor and analyze user activity across our Site. The pixels used by these services typically track page views, user interactions, conversion events, and other behavioral metrics that help us understand how users engage with our content.

You have the option to opt out of having your browsing activity within our Site recorded by performance and analytics cookies and pixels. Google provides a dedicated browser add-on that allows users to opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites. You can download and install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on from https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Please note that opting out may limit our ability to provide you with optimized site performance and personalized experiences, as we will have reduced visibility into how our services are performing and what improvements might benefit users.

We use Microsoft Clarity, a web analytics service provided by Microsoft Corporation, to better understand how users interact with our website and improve user experience. Microsoft Clarity collects and analyzes user behavior data including session recordings that capture mouse movements, clicks, scrolling patterns, and page navigation, as well as heatmaps that show where users interact most frequently on our pages. This service may also collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and referral URLs. The data collected by Microsoft Clarity helps us identify usability issues, optimize our website performance, and enhance the overall user experience by understanding how visitors navigate and engage with our content. Microsoft Clarity uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect this information, and the data is processed on Microsoft’s servers in accordance with Microsoft’s Privacy Statement. You can opt-out of Microsoft Clarity data collection at any time by visiting the Microsoft Clarity opt-out page at https://clarity.microsoft.com/terms or by adjusting your cookie preferences in our cookie consent banner. Additionally, you can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect the functionality of our website. Please note that opting out of Microsoft Clarity will not affect other analytics or tracking technologies we may use on our site.

Cross-Device and Cross-Platform Advertising

Our Tracking Technologies, including pixels and web beacons, may enable us and our advertising partners to recognize you across different devices and platforms when you are logged into your account or when devices are linked through other identifiers. This cross-device tracking allows us to provide a more seamless and personalized experience across all your devices, helps us better understand user behavior patterns, and enables more effective targeted advertising.

Opting Out of Targeted Advertising

You have the right to control how your information is used for targeted advertising purposes. We provide multiple methods for you to opt out of targeted advertising based on information collected through our Tracking Technologies. Please note that opting out of targeted advertising does not mean you will stop seeing advertisements entirely. Instead, the advertisements you see may be less personalized and relevant to your interests, and may be based on general factors such as your geographic location, the content of the website you are visiting, or broad demographic categories rather than your specific browsing behavior and individual preferences.

Facebook and Instagram (Meta Platforms): You can control advertising preferences by visiting your Facebook Ad Preferences through your account settings, or by navigating directly to https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences. Here you can view why you’re seeing specific ads, hide ad topics that don’t interest you, and adjust your ad settings. For Instagram, these settings are managed through the same Facebook Ad Preferences interface. You can also opt out of ads based on data from partners by adjusting your “Ads based on data from partners” setting.

Google Advertising Services: Visit your Google Ad Settings at https://adssettings.google.com to control personalized advertising across Google services, including YouTube, Gmail, and Google Search. You can turn off ad personalization entirely or customize which categories of ads you see. Additionally, you can visit https://adssettings.google.com/anonymous to control ads when you are not signed into your Google account.

LinkedIn Advertising: Access your LinkedIn privacy settings through your account dashboard and navigate to the “Data privacy” section to control how your data is used for advertising. You can adjust settings for ads both on and off LinkedIn, including whether LinkedIn can use your profile data for advertising purposes.

Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA): Visit http://optout.aboutads.info to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating advertising networks and companies. This tool allows you to see which companies have placed advertising cookies on your browser and opt out of future targeted advertising from these companies.

Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): Use the opt-out tool at http://optout.networkadvertising.org to control behavioral advertising from NAI member companies. This service provides a comprehensive list of participating advertising networks and allows you to opt out of multiple networks simultaneously.

European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA): For users in Europe, visit http://www.youronlinechoices.eu to control online behavioral advertising from participating companies operating in European markets.
