Cookie Policy

01

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on a browser or device when you visit a website. They can help a website remember information about a visit, keep features working, recognise returning browsers, protect forms, and understand how pages are used.

Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, SDKs, device identifiers, and server-side event records. In this policy, “cookies” includes these similar technologies where appropriate.

02

Why We Use Cookies

We may use cookies and related technologies to:

Load pages, forms, account features, preferences, and security controls correctly.
Remember consent selections, language, or other settings.
Measure visits, page performance, traffic sources, and feature usage.
Understand whether website content and campaigns are effective.
Prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and unauthorised activity.
Support embedded content such as videos, maps, chat, scheduling, or social media features.
Deliver or measure advertising where those tools are enabled and legally permitted.

03

Cookie Categories

Category	Purpose	Typical status
Strictly necessary	Core operation, security, form protection, load balancing, and remembering privacy choices.	Usually active because the website cannot function properly without them.
Preferences	Remember optional settings such as language, display choices, or saved form preferences.	May require consent depending on the technology and law.
Analytics	Measure traffic, page usage, performance, errors, and visitor journeys in aggregated or pseudonymous form.	Normally controlled through consent where required.
Advertising and conversion	Measure campaigns, attribute inquiries, limit repeated ads, or support interest-based advertising.	Normally optional and consent-based where required.
Embedded content	Enable third-party videos, maps, chat, scheduling, social feeds, or other external features.	May be set by the third party and may require consent.

04

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by or for aidevexpert.com. Third-party cookies are set by another provider whose service appears on or supports the website.

Depending on the tools currently enabled, third parties may include hosting and security providers, analytics platforms, advertising networks, social media services, video or map providers, appointment tools, chat services, payment providers, or form services. Those providers may collect information under their own privacy and cookie policies.

We do not control how a third party uses information after it is collected independently under that provider’s terms.

05

Session and Persistent Cookies

Session cookies generally expire when you close the browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until deleted. Their duration can range from a few minutes to several months or longer depending on their purpose and provider.

Some server-side security, analytics, or consent records may be retained separately from browser cookies in line with our legitimate operational needs and Privacy Policy.

06

Consent and Cookie Controls

Where required by applicable law, we aim to provide a consent choice before non-essential cookies are activated. You may be able to accept all, reject non-essential cookies, or choose categories through the website’s cookie banner or settings panel.

Your consent choice may itself be stored in a necessary cookie so that the website remembers it. You can change a previous choice by reopening the cookie settings where available, clearing cookies, or changing browser settings.

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred before the withdrawal. Some content or features may not work correctly when optional cookies are disabled.

07

Managing Cookies in Your Browser

Most browsers allow you to view, delete, block, or restrict cookies. The exact steps depend on the browser and device. Browser help settings normally explain how to:

Delete cookies already stored.
Block all cookies or only third-party cookies.
Receive a warning before a cookie is saved.
Clear local storage and site data.
Use private or incognito browsing.

Blocking all cookies may affect login, forms, security, preferences, embedded content, and other website functions.

08

Privacy Signals and Mobile Devices

Some browsers or devices send privacy preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control or “Do Not Track.” Recognition and legal effect vary by jurisdiction, browser, and the tools configured on the website. Where required and technically supported, relevant signals may be respected.

Mobile operating systems may also provide advertising identifiers, tracking permissions, or privacy controls. These are managed through the device or application settings rather than this website.

09

Policy Updates and Contact

We may update this Cookie Policy when technologies, service providers, consent tools, or legal requirements change. The revised version will appear on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
