1. About this Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how EMASPHERE SA ("EMASPHERE", "we") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at www.emasphere.com ("Website"), and how you can control them.
It complements our Privacy Policy, which explains how we process your personal data in general, on what legal basis, and what your rights are.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners because they enable websites to run more smoothly and information to be transmitted more easily.
Cookies have many functions; for example, there are those that allow you to navigate easily between pages, those that store your preferences and those that improve the overall user experience. Cookies can also help ensure that the ads you see online are more relevant and in line with your interests.
We only place cookies that are not strictly necessary if you have given your consent in our cookie banner.
3. How long do cookies last?
Cookies may remain on your computer or mobile device for varying periods of time. Some cookies are "session cookies", which means that they exist only when your browser is open and they are automatically deleted when you close your browser or exit the application. Other cookies are "persistent cookies": they stay on your device for a set period, shown for each cookie in the table at the end of this Policy, or until you delete them.
4. First-party and third-party cookies
There are two types of cookies depending on their origin:
First‑party cookies are cookies created by the website you are viewing, in this case EMASPHERE. These cookies collect behavioral data and declared data. Behavioral data are data relating to how long a user spends on a web page, which browser they use, and their activity on the pages they visit. Declared data are the user’s personal data, such as surname, first name and e‑mail address. These data are collected when the user fills out a form. Both types of data are reserved exclusively for the owner of the website and are used to provide a personalized user experience.
Third‑party cookies are cookies issued by third‑party companies on the EMASPHERE Website or other websites that you visit. These cookies are designed to analyze the websites that you visit and the searches that you perform in order to record your preferences and behavior so as to offer you personalized ads.
5. What about other tracking technologies like web beacons?
Cookies are not the only way to identify or track visitors to a website. We may from time to time use other, similar technologies, such as web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "invisible gifs"). These are small graphic files containing a unique identifier that allow us to know when someone has visited our Website or opened an e‑mail we have sent that person. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page of our Website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, and to know if you are coming to our Website from an online advertisement or from a third‑party Website. Web beacons allow us to improve the performance of our Website and measure the success of e‑mail marketing campaigns. In many cases, these technologies depend on cookies to function properly. Therefore, rejecting cookies will prevent them from working as they should.
6. Which cookies do we use?
When you visit our Website, we may place the cookies listed in the table at the end of this Policy. For each cookie, the table gives its provider, its category (strictly necessary, analytics, advertising or functionality), its purpose and how long it stays on your device. Strictly necessary cookies are always active. All other cookies are only placed if you accept them in our cookie banner.
7. What about targeted advertising?
If you accept advertising cookies, Google, LinkedIn and Meta place cookies on your device so they can show you EMASPHERE ads on other websites and measure how well those ads work. Under their own privacy policies, they may combine this information with what they already know about you, for example if you are logged in to your LinkedIn or Facebook account.
Separately, if you accept analytics cookies, Leadinfo uses your IP address to identify the company you are visiting from (not you as a person), and if you fill in a form, HubSpot links your earlier visits to the contact details you give us.
You can refuse these cookies or withdraw your consent at any time via Cookie settings at the bottom of every page, without affecting your use of the Website.
8. How can I manage cookies?
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via Cookie settings at the bottom of every page, or open your cookie settings here.
You can change the settings of your web browser so as to accept or reject cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you will still be able to use our Website although your access to certain features and areas of our Website may be limited. How you reject cookies through your browser settings varies from browser to browser, so you should consult your browser's help menu for more information.
In general, however, you go to the "Preferences" or "Settings" menu in the upper right‑hand corner to change the cookie settings, or go to the "Help" section. For more information, please click on the following links:
