4.3 Third-Party Opt-Outs

For analytics and advertising cookies set by third parties, you can often opt-out directly:

5. Data Transfers and International Data Transfers

Some of our third-party service providers (e.g., Google, Meta) are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Therefore, the processing of your personal data collected via cookies may involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by implementing appropriate safeguards, such as relying on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or ensuring the recipient is part of an adequacy agreement. You can obtain details of these safeguards by contacting us.

6. Data Retention

Cookie data is retained for different periods depending on the cookie's purpose:

  • Session Cookies: Deleted when you close your browser.
  • Persistent Cookies: Remain for a period specified in the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years. The retention period for each specific cookie can often be found in the cookie declaration table of our consent management tool.

We do not retain personal data collected via cookies longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law.

7. Your Data Protection Rights under the GDPR

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We aim to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Data collected via cookies.

In certain circumstances, you have the following data protection rights:

  • The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
  • The right to rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
  • The right to erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions. This may be limited if the processing is based on our legitimate interests.
  • The right to restrict processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
  • The right to object to processing: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data, under certain conditions, particularly for direct marketing or profiling related to direct marketing.
  • The right to data portability: You have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.
  • The right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on your consent to process personal data (e.g., for Performance or Targeting cookies), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided in Section 9. We may need to verify your identity before responding to such requests.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. For Romania, this is the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (ANSPDCP).
