Our website, espertoassessments.com, uses cookies and similar technologies, referred to together as "cookies" in this policy. Cookies are also placed by third parties we have engaged. This page explains what cookies are, which ones we use and why, and how you can manage your choices. For how we handle personal data more broadly, see our Privacy Statement.

Section 1

Definitions

A few terms come back throughout this policy. Here is what we mean by them.

Cookie

A small, simple file that is sent along with pages of this website and stored by your browser on the hard drive of your computer or another device. The information stored in it may be returned to our servers, or to the servers of the relevant third parties, during a later visit.

Script

A piece of program code used to make our website function properly and interactively. This code runs on our server or on your device.

Web beacon

Also called a pixel tag: a small, invisible piece of text or image on a website used to monitor traffic. Various data about you is stored using web beacons.

Section 2

Categories of cookies we use

Technical or functional

Ensure that certain parts of the website work properly and that your preferences remain known, so you do not have to re-enter the same information on every visit.

We may place these without your consent.

Statistics

Track how the website is used, in an anonymized way, so we can see what works and what does not.

Because these statistics are tracked anonymously, no consent is asked for placing them.

Marketing and tracking

Cookies, or any other form of local storage, used to build user profiles to display advertising, or to track a user on this website or across several websites for similar marketing purposes.

Placed based on your consent, given through the cookie pop-up when you first visit.

Social media

Our website includes content from LinkedIn, to promote pages or let you share content on that network. This content is embedded with code from LinkedIn and places its own cookies, which may store and process information for personalized advertising. LinkedIn is located in the United States. Please read LinkedIn's own privacy statement, which can change, to see what it does with the data it collects this way. The data retrieved is anonymized as much as possible.

Placed based on your consent, given through the cookie pop-up.
