Welcome to the Cookie Policy of www.biowaves.eu. This policy helps you understand what cookies and tracking technologies we use, how we use them, and what rights you have in this regard.

Introduction

This document informs users about the technologies this application uses to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies enable access to or storage of information (e.g., through the use of cookies) on the user’s device or the use of the device’s data processing capabilities when the user accesses or runs this application.

For the sake of simplicity, unless there is a reason to distinguish between them, such technologies are referred to as “trackers” in this document.

For example, while cookies can be used in both web and mobile browsers, they cannot be used as browser-based trackers in mobile apps. Therefore, in this document, the term “cookie” is used only when specifically referring to this type of tracker.

Some of the purposes for which trackers are used require the user’s consent. If consent is given, it may be freely revoked at any time in accordance with the procedure described in this document.

This application uses first-party trackers and third-party trackers associated with third-party services. Unless otherwise stated in this document, such third parties also have access to the trackers they manage.

The duration and expiration of cookies and other similar trackers depend on the lifespan set by the provider or the respective third-party provider. Some of them expire as soon as the user ends the browser session.

For more detailed and up-to-date information on the retention period, as well as other details—such as the use of additional trackers—users are referred to the descriptions of the categories listed below, as well as to the linked privacy policies of the relevant third-party providers or to contacting the provider directly.

Manage settings and grant or revoke consent

If the use of trackers is based on consent, users may give or withdraw their consent by setting or updating their preferences for this application via the relevant privacy settings panel.

With regard to all trackers used by third parties, users can manage their settings by clicking the relevant opt-out link (if available), using the methods specified in the third party’s privacy policy, or contacting the third party.

How to control or delete cookies and similar technologies through your device settings.

Users can use their own browser settings to:

  • to see which cookies or other similar technologies have been set on the device;
  • Block cookies or similar technologies;
  • Delete cookies or similar technologies from your browser.

However, the browser settings do not allow for detailed control of consent by category.

For example, users can find information on how to manage cookies in the most common browsers at the following addresses:

Users can also manage certain trackers used within mobile apps through the relevant device settings—for example, through the device settings for advertising on mobile devices, or generally through tracking settings (users can access device settings and look for the relevant options).

How to opt out of interest-based advertising

In addition, users are advised that they may follow the guidelines provided by YourOnlineChoices (EU and UK), the Network Advertising Initiative (US), the Digital Advertising Alliance (US), DAAC (Canada), DDAI (Japan), or other similar services. These initiatives allow users to set their tracking preferences for nearly all advertising tools. The provider therefore recommends that users make use of these resources in addition to the information provided in this document.

The Digital Advertising Alliance offers the AppChoices app to help users manage interest-based advertising in mobile apps.

Consequences of refusing to use trackers

Users are free to decide whether or not to give their consent to the use of trackers. However, it should be noted that trackers help this application provide users with a better user experience and enhanced features (in accordance with the purposes described in this document). Therefore, if the user chooses to block the use of trackers, the provider may not be able to provide those features.
