What are cookies?
This Cookie Policy forms part of the Abusix Privacy Policy and should be read together with it. The controllers of any personal data collected through cookies on our websites are Abusix, Inc. and Abusix GmbH, as set out in the Privacy Policy. Where cookies result in personal data being transferred to recipients outside the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland (including the United States), the safeguards described in the Privacy Policy apply.
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use (i.e., the information we collect using cookies and how that information is used), and how to manage your cookie settings.
Cookies are small text files used to store small pieces of information. They are stored on your device when a website loads in your browser. These cookies help ensure that the website functions properly, enhance security, provide a better user experience, and analyze performance to identify what works and where improvements are needed.
How do we use cookies?
Our website and the Abusix client portal use both first-party and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are set directly by us and are used to operate our sites, authenticate users to the client portal, remember your preferences (including your cookie consent choices), and keep our services secure. Some of these cookies identify you while you are signed in.
Third-party cookies are set by services we use to measure how our websites perform, understand which content visitors engage with, and — with your consent — to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns on platforms such as LinkedIn and Meta. We do not display advertising on our websites, and we do not sell the data collected through cookies.
