How we treat cookies

On this page we want to explain what cookies are, what cookies are used by our Investown website and mobile application and how you can restrict the use of cookies by us and our cookie processors.

Who is the administrator?

Cookies are personal data according to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The controller of your personal data is the company Investown Technologies Ltd., Company ID: 086 67 144, registered office: Inovační 122, Hodkovice, 252 41, Zlatníky-Hodkovice, registered in the Commercial Register maintained by the Municipal Court in Prague under sp. no. C 322874, which operates the website www.investown.cz and Investown mobile app. In relation to your personal data (including cookies), we are in the position of controller, as we determine how personal data will be processed and for what purpose, for how long and we select any additional processors who will assist us with the processing.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or use a mobile application. Cookies are widely used by online service providers because they facilitate and speed up the interaction between users and websites, allow to improve the targeting and relevance of ads, collect analytical data, and overall provide a better experience for website visitors.

Cookies set by the website (in this case Investown) are called “first party cookies”. Cookies set by parties other than the website or platform owner are called third party cookies. Third-party cookies allow us to provide special features such as advertising, interactive content, or analytics. Third parties that set these cookies may subsequently recognize your computer or device when you visit the website, mobile application or platform in question, but also when you visit certain other websites or mobile applications.

The information collected by cookies does not allow us to identify your name, contact details or other personally identifiable information unless you choose to provide it to us yourself.

What types of cookies do we use?

1. Necessary cookies

These cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of our website and mobile application. Without these cookies, neither websites nor mobile apps would function properly.

2. Security cookies

Security cookies allow the storage of security-related information, such as identity verification, fraud protection and other means of protecting the user.

3. Personalization cookies

Personalization cookies may use third-party cookies to help them personalize content and allow them to track users across different websites and mobile devices.

4. Advertising cookies

Advertising cookies are used by us or our partners so that we can show you appropriate content or advertisements both on our site or in the mobile application and on the pages of third parties. This allows us to create profiles based on your interests that are pseudonymised, which means that without the use of additional identifiers it is not possible to determine the identity of a particular user.

5. Analytical cookies

Analytical cookies allow us to measure the performance of our website and mobile app and our advertising campaigns. We use them to determine the number of visits and the source of visits to our website and mobile application. We process the data collected by these cookies in aggregate, without using identifiers that point to specific users of our website. If you disable the use of analytics cookies in relation to your visit, we lose the ability to analyze performance and optimize our measures.

Why do we use cookies?

We use both first and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons to make our website work (“essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies). Other cookies also allow us to track and target the interests of our users in order to make the use of our website and mobile application more enjoyable, or to target our ads. Third parties provide cookies through our website for analysis and other purposes.

On what legal basis do we process cookies?

We process cookies (except strictly necessary cookies) on the basis of your consent. You can express your consent or consent to the processing of specific types of cookies when you first visit our website or mobile application via a pop-up window.

Who do we use to process cookies?

1. Google Analytics Services, operated by Google Inc., located at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The collected cookies are then processed by Google Inc. in accordance with Privacy Policy.

2. Facebook Pixel Services, operated by Facebook Inc., headquartered at 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The collected cookies are then processed by Facebook Inc. in accordance with Privacy Policy.

3. Bloomreach Engagement Services, operated by Bloomreach B.V., with its registered office at Keizersgracht 125 1015 CJ, Amsterdam, NL. The collected cookies are then processed by Bloomreach B.V. in accordance with Privacy Policy.
