About this Cookies Policy

This Cookies Policy explains how Allegro 234 uses cookies and similar technologies on its website.

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we process personal data more generally.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on or read from a computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when a person visits a website.

Cookies may allow a website to:

  • Operate correctly and securely;
  • Remember settings and preferences;
  • Recognise a browser or device;
  • Understand how visitors use the website;
  • Measure the performance of content and campaigns;
  • Provide embedded content or social-media functions; and
  • Support personalised content or advertising, where used.

Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, software development kits and device identifiers. References to “cookies” in this Policy include these technologies where appropriate.

Who places cookies?

First-party cookies

These are set directly by the Allegro 234 website or on its behalf.

Third-party cookies

These are set by another organisation whose technology, content or service is used on the website, such as an analytics, video, mapping, social-media or communications provider.

Third parties may use information collected through their technologies for their own purposes in accordance with their privacy policies. Allegro 234 does not control how an independent third party subsequently processes information collected by that third party.

How long do cookies remain?

Cookies may be:

  • Session cookies: These normally expire when the browser is closed.
  • Persistent cookies: These remain on the device until their stated expiry date or until they are deleted through the browser or cookie-management settings.

The duration of each cookie should be shown in the cookie table or consent-management tool available on this website.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function, provide a service expressly requested by the user, preserve security, balance traffic, remember privacy choices or maintain a session.

They cannot normally be disabled through the cookie-management tool because the website may not operate properly without them.

Where these cookies process personal data, we rely on our legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website or another legal basis permitted by applicable law.

Preference or functionality cookies

These cookies remember choices such as language, region, display preferences or other settings that improve the user experience.

Where required by law, they are activated only after consent has been obtained.

Analytics or performance cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors reach and use the website, which pages are most useful, whether errors occur and how the site may be improved.

Information may include page views, approximate location, device and browser characteristics, referral source and interactions with website content.

Unless an applicable exemption clearly applies, analytics cookies will be activated only after consent has been obtained.

Marketing or advertising cookies

These cookies may be used to measure campaigns, build an understanding of interests, limit repeated advertising or provide more relevant content or advertising on this or other websites.

They may allow a visitor or device to be recognised across different services.

Marketing or advertising cookies will not be activated without prior consent where consent is required.

Social-media and embedded-content cookies

The website may contain sharing tools, videos, maps, posts, feeds, fonts or other resources supplied by third-party platforms.

These services may set cookies or collect information when their content loads or when a user interacts with it. They may associate this information with an account held with the relevant platform.

Where required, embedded services will remain blocked until the user consents to the relevant category.

Cookies currently used

The website must display an accurate and automatically maintained list containing, for every cookie or similar technology in use:

  • Cookie or technology name;
  • Provider;
  • Domain;
  • Purpose;
  • Category;
  • Whether it is first-party or third-party;
  • Duration or expiry period;
  • And, where applicable, a link to the provider’s privacy information.

The cookie table generated by the website’s consent-management platform forms part of this Cookies Policy.

The table must be reviewed whenever website functionality, plug-ins, analytics tools, embedded content or advertising technologies change.

No cookie should be described as “necessary” merely because it is useful to Allegro 234. That category must be limited to technologies genuinely required to deliver the website or a service requested by the user.

Google Analytics

Where Google Analytics is enabled, it is used to help us understand how visitors interact with the website and to improve its structure, content and performance.

Google Analytics must remain disabled until consent has been obtained, unless its configuration qualifies for a specific legal exemption in the relevant jurisdiction.

Depending on its configuration, Google may process information including:

  • Online identifiers;
  • Truncated or full ip-related information;
  • Device and browser information;
  • Approximate location;
  • Pages visited;
  • Interaction and event information;
  • Referral information; and
  • Consent-related signals.

Allegro 234 should enable the most privacy-protective configuration reasonably available, including appropriate data-retention settings, data minimisation and any available controls concerning advertising signals.

Google may process information outside the European Economic Area. Where required, transfers must be supported by an adequacy decision, recognised contractual safeguards or another valid transfer mechanism.

The existing links to Google’s privacy information, Google Analytics information and available opt-out tools should be retained and kept up to date.

Social networks and sharing tools

The website may offer links, sharing buttons or embedded functions relating to platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, X or Twitter, LinkedIn and other social-media providers.

A simple external link does not necessarily place a cookie. However, an embedded widget, feed, pixel, video or sharing plug-in may allow the relevant provider to receive information about the visitor, even when the visitor does not actively use the feature.

Where such technology is not strictly necessary, it must not load until the user has consented to the relevant category.

The existing links to the privacy and cookie information of the relevant social-media providers should be retained and reviewed periodically.

Legal basis and consent

Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent where they are technically required to provide the website or a service expressly requested by the user.

All other cookies and similar technologies requiring consent will be activated only after the user has made a free, specific, informed and unambiguous choice.

Consent is not valid where:

  • Non-essential cookies are installed before a choice is made;
  • Acceptance is obtained through a pre-ticked box;
  • Silence or continued browsing is treated as acceptance;
  • Rejecting cookies is unnecessarily more difficult than accepting them;
  • Misleading designs or wording are used;
  • Separate purposes are bundled without adequate choice; or
  • Access is improperly made conditional on unnecessary tracking.

The cookie banner

On the first visit, users must be given clear options to:

  • Accept all non-essential cookies;
  • Reject all non-essential cookies; and
  • Manage preferences by category.

“Accept all” and “Reject all” must be displayed at the same time, at the same level and with equivalent prominence.

Non-essential categories must be disabled by default.

The settings panel must explain the purposes of each category and allow users to activate or reject categories separately. Strictly necessary cookies may be shown as always active, with an explanation.

Closing or ignoring the banner must not be treated as consent.

Changing or withdrawing consent

You may change or withdraw your consent at any time by selecting the permanent Cookie Settings or equivalent link available on the website.

Withdrawing consent must be as easy as giving it.

Withdrawal prevents future use of the relevant technologies. It does not invalidate processing that lawfully took place before consent was withdrawn.

Previously stored cookies may need to be deleted through the browser or device settings, although the consent-management tool should remove or disable them wherever technically possible.

Browser controls

Most browsers allow users to view, block or delete cookies. Browser settings vary and may change over time.

The existing links providing instructions for the following browsers should be retained and checked periodically:

  • Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer, where still relevant;
  • Mozilla Firefox;
  • Safari for desktop;
  • Safari for mobile devices;
  • Opera; and
  • Google Chrome.

Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality and usability of this and other websites.

Browser settings may not prevent every form of tracking, particularly technologies that do not operate through conventional browser cookies.

Global Privacy Control and similar signals

Where required by applicable law and technically supported, we will recognise legally binding browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, in relation to regulated sales, sharing or targeted advertising.

A browser “Do Not Track” signal does not currently have a single legally standardised meaning in all jurisdictions. We therefore respond to such signals where required by applicable law or where our systems have been configured to do so.

International data transfers

Some cookie and technology providers may process information in countries outside the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland or the visitor’s country.

Where such processing involves a restricted international transfer, the relevant provider and Allegro 234, according to their respective responsibilities, must rely on an appropriate transfer mechanism and implement any supplementary safeguards required by law.

Further information is available in our Privacy Policy and in the privacy information supplied by each provider.

Updates to this Cookies Policy

We may update this Policy when:

  • Cookies or providers change;
  • Website functionality changes;
  • Legal or regulatory requirements evolve; or
  • We change how information collected through these technologies is used.

The latest version will be published on this page with its revision date.

Where a change materially affects a previous consent, we will request renewed consent where required.
