This Cookie Policy explains how AFX Global A.S. ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website, www.afx.global. It also explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They're widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, www.afx.global) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., analytics, interactive content). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and when it visits certain other websites.

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies allow us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our online properties. Third parties serve cookies through our website for analytics and other purposes.

Specifically, the types of cookies served through our website and the purposes they perform are described below.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

• Required Cookies (Strictly Necessary Cookies): These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as accessing secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for, like setting your privacy preferences, cannot be provided.
  • Example: Cookies that remember your consent preferences.
  • Data Collected: Generally anonymous, session-specific data.
  • Purpose: Website functionality and security.
  • Retention: Typically session-based (deleted when you close your browser).
• Analytics Cookies (Performance Cookies): These cookies collect information about how visitors use our website, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It's only used to improve how a website works.
  • Example: Google Analytics cookies.
  • Data Collected: Anonymous usage data (e.g., pages visited, time spent, browser type).
  • Purpose: To analyze website traffic and improve website performance and user experience.
  • Retention: Can persist for longer periods (e.g., 2 years for Google Analytics), but data is aggregated and anonymized.

4. How You Can Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in our Cookie Consent Banner (if applicable) or by using your web browser controls.

• Cookie Consent Banner: Upon your first visit to our website, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline analytics cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the Cookie Preferences link at the very end of every web page.
• Browser Controls: Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Be aware that some parts of this website may not function properly if you disable all cookies.

5. Changes to Our Cookie Policy

We may update our Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
