This Cookies Policy explains how Aspira (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the Aspira website (“the Website”). This policy applies alongside our Unified Privacy Policy. Because Aspira uses Google Analytics and login/session cookies, a cookie banner will be added to ensure full GDPR and PECR compliance.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit the Website. They help support essential functionality, improve performance, and allow us to understand how the Website is used.
We use:
• Session cookies – temporary and removed when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies – remain until they expire or are deleted
• First‑party cookies – set directly by Aspira
• Third‑party cookies – set by trusted service providers, such as Google Analytics
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Essential Cookies (Required)
These cookies are necessary for the Website to function correctly. They support:
• Secure login and authentication
• Session management
• Account navigation
• Payment/subscription functionality
• Contact forms and newsletter signup forms
• Fraud prevention and security
Because these cookies are essential, they do not require user consent.
2.2 Analytics & Performance Cookies (Consent Required)
We use Google Analytics to understand how users interact with the Website and to improve performance.
Google Analytics may collect:
• Pages visited and navigation patterns
• Browser and device information
• Time spent on each page
• Geographic region (approximate)
• Interaction data (scrolling, clicks, movements)
Google Analytics cookies are non-essential and will only load after you provide consent via the cookie banner.
2.3 Functionality Cookies (Optional)
These cookies improve user experience and may remember:
• Your preferences (e.g., light/dark mode)
• Form input between pages
• Language or region
These cookies are optional and require consent.
3. Third‑Party Cookies We Use
We may use third‑party cookies for:
• Google Analytics (analytics)
• Payment or subscription checkout flows
• Newsletter subscription forms (if integrated with services such as Mailchimp or similar)
No advertising cookies are used.
All third parties operate under GDPR-compliant Data Processing Agreements.
4. Server-Side Logging (Non-Cookie Based)
In addition to cookies, we use server-side logging to:
• Monitor website performance
• Detect errors
• Protect against fraud and abuse
• Maintain security and stability
Server logs may include:
• IP address
• Browser and device information
• Request paths
• Timestamps
• Error traces
These logs are necessary for secure operation and do not require consent.
5. Cookie Banner & Consent Management
A cookie banner will be implemented to meet GDPR and PECR requirements.
The banner will:
• Display on a user’s first visit
• Block Google Analytics until consent is provided
• Allow users to accept or reject optional cookies
• Provide a “Manage Preferences” option
• Store user choices in a consent cookie
Users can update their preferences at any time via a visible “Cookie Settings” link.
6. Managing Cookies Yourself
You may delete or block cookies through your browser settings.
Examples:
Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
Safari: Preferences → Privacy
Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions
Blocking essential cookies may prevent the Website from functioning properly.
7. Legal Basis for Cookies (GDPR)
• Essential cookies – Legitimate Interests
• Analytics & performance cookies – Consent
• Functionality cookies – Consent
We will never use cookies in ways that override your rights or freedoms.
8. Changes to This Cookies Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Significant changes will be communicated via the Website or through an updated cookie banner.
