Welcome to IAEE.EU (“Website,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies, tracking technologies, and server-side data collection methods when you visit our Website. It also outlines how you can manage your cookie preferences and opt out of tracking, in compliance with global privacy regulations.
This policy applies to users worldwide, including those in the European Union (EU), United States (USA), United Kingdom (UK), Brazil, China, Canada, Australia, and other jurisdictions with privacy and cookie laws.
1. WHAT ARE COOKIES & TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They help us improve user experience, analyze site performance, and display relevant content.
We also use server-side tracking, which collects user activity directly from our servers rather than relying solely on cookies. This allows us to track user sessions, IP addresses, and device interactions, even if cookies are blocked or cleared.
Tracking technologies we use include:
✔ Cookies – Small files stored on your device.
✔ Pixels & Web Beacons – Tiny images that track user behavior.
✔ Server-Side Tracking – Collects analytics without relying on browser-based tracking.
✔ Fingerprinting – Analyzes device/browser configurations for fraud detection.
