Our Cookie Policy
Last updated on 13 October 2024
The objective of this policy is to provide you with clear information about the cookies and other specialist web technologies used by Allasso SA to support our website and the options available to you when it comes to managing your cookie settings.
To learn more about how we treat other personal data please read our Privacy Policy.
About Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that is automatically sent to your device where it is stored by your web browser. The cookie stores a unique identifier so that your browser can be distinguished from others. They are used for various functions - from enabling the website to work to analysing what content is viewed and is popular.
Cookies may be stored by the website you are visiting (a “first party cookie”) or by a technology provider, such as an analytics company, advertising network or social media platform (a “third party cookie”). Cookies are either stored for the duration of your visit (a “session cookie”) or they will remain on your device for a fixed period (usually several months, or longer) to remember you across multiple browsing sessions (a “persistent cookie”).
Where companies are unable to use cookies within mobile apps they instead use unique identifiers associated with your device, such as the device advertising ID and other data such as your geo-location or your network location. This data is used in the same way as cookies, e.g. to analyse and improve services and to serve marketing and advertising to you (if the app is funded by advertising).
How We Use Cookies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to distinguish you from other users. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies and similar technologies, but if you prefer, you can change your browser settings to prevent that. Your help screen or manual will tell you how to do this. We also give you information about how to disable cookies in the table below . However, you may not be able to take full advantage of our website if you do so.
We use cookies and other technologies on the basis that they are necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or because using them is in our legitimate interests (where we have considered that these are not overridden by your rights), and, in some cases, where required by law, where you have consented to their use.
We use the following types of cookies:
-
Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website and under our terms with you. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to navigate the service, to remember your cookie preferences, to keep our service secure and for system administration, such as preventing fraudulent or disruptive activity. Without these cookies the service may not operate as it should and so these are not optional.
-
Analytical/performance cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us for our legitimate interests of improving the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
-
Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us, subject to your choices and preferences, to personalise our content, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
-
Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to our website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make our website more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.

Your Consent and Options
Depending on where you are accessing our website from (for example, in the UK and Europe), we will ask for your prior consent for the use of cookies and other specialist technologies. We will ask for your consent again if any new types of cookies have been added to the site.
If you want to disable cookies on our site (and across all websites), you need to change your website browser settings to reject cookies. Each browser is different, so check the “Help” menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.
