We use cookies and similar technologies to ensure proper functionality of our Website, enhance user experience, analyze traffic, improve services, and support security measures. Where required under applicable law, including the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and the ePrivacy Regulations, we obtain user consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

- What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. Cookies allow websites to recognize a user’s device, store preferences, maintain sessions, and collect information about website interactions.
Cookies may be “session cookies,” which expire when you close your browser, or “persistent cookies,” which remain on your device for a specified period or until manually deleted. Similar technologies, including pixels, tags, and local storage, may also be used for comparable purposes.
Cookies do not typically identify you directly by name; however, they may collect information that can be linked to personal data. Where cookies process personal data, such processing is governed by our Privacy Policy.
- Categories of Cookies We Use
We use cookies that are necessary for the operation of our Website. These essential cookies enable core functionality such as secure login, session management, fraud prevention, and payment processing. Without these cookies, certain services may not function properly. Essential cookies do not require prior consent under applicable law.
We may also use performance and analytics cookies to understand how users interact with our Website, measure traffic patterns, identify technical issues, and improve content and user experience. These cookies collect aggregated or pseudonymized information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, device type, and browser information.
Functionality cookies may be used to remember your preferences, language settings, or login details to enhance your browsing experience.
Where applicable, marketing or advertising cookies may be used to measure the effectiveness of promotional campaigns or to deliver relevant advertising. Such cookies may be placed by third-party service providers.
Non-essential cookies are deployed only where valid consent has been obtained in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
- Third-Party Cookies
Certain cookies may be placed by third-party service providers who assist us in operating our Website and delivering services. These may include analytics providers, hosting providers, payment processors, embedded content providers, and security services.
Third-party cookies are subject to the privacy policies of the respective providers. Cirellum does not control third-party cookies directly but ensures that appropriate contractual safeguards are in place where personal data is processed.
We encourage users to review the privacy policies of relevant third-party providers to understand how their information is handled.
- Purpose of Cookies
Cookies are used to ensure secure access to user accounts, maintain session integrity, prevent fraudulent activity, facilitate payment processing, improve Website performance, analyze usage trends, and enhance overall user experience.
Cookies may also support administrative functions such as error detection, load balancing, and system optimization. Where analytics cookies are used, the information collected helps us understand user behavior in aggregate form, allowing us to refine content, improve navigation, and enhance service quality.
We do not use cookies to sell personal data or to engage in unlawful tracking practices.
- Legal Basis for Cookie Processing
Under GDPR and applicable ePrivacy laws, the use of strictly necessary cookies is based on our legitimate interest in providing a secure and functional Website. The use of non-essential cookies, including analytics and marketing cookies, is based on user consent where required by law.
You may withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time through your browser settings or applicable consent management mechanisms once implemented.
Processing of personal data obtained through cookies is conducted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
- Data Collected Through Cookies
Cookies may collect information such as IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referring URLs, session identifiers, time zone settings, pages visited, and interaction patterns.
Where such information constitutes personal data, it is processed lawfully, securely, and only for the purposes outlined in this Policy and our Privacy Policy.
We do not intentionally collect special categories of personal data through cookies.
- International Data Transfers
Where third-party analytics or service providers operate outside the European Economic Area (EEA), personal data collected through cookies may be transferred internationally. In such cases, Cirellum ensures appropriate safeguards are implemented, including Standard Contractual Clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms as required under GDPR.
- Data Retention
Cookies remain on your device for varying durations depending on their type and purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain until their defined expiration date or manual deletion.
Data collected through cookies is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, unless longer retention is required by law.

Future consent management tools may provide additional mechanisms for adjusting cookie preferences.
