This Cookies Policy describes how asterionix (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects and uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you access or interact with our website and services. We aim to provide transparency about the data we gather, its purpose, and how it helps improve user experience, secure transactions, and maintain regulatory compliance. This policy applies to all visitors and users of our platform and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device—such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone—when you visit a website. They store information about your browsing behavior and preferences. Cookies help websites remember your choices, such as login status, language selection, and activity history, creating a more personalized and convenient experience. They also serve analytical, functional, and security purposes, which is especially important for platforms that handle sensitive financial information like ours.

Types of Cookies We Use

We use several types of cookies to ensure a safe, functional, and tailored experience:

• Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These are critical for our Payment Solutions to operate. They enable secure login, transaction processing, fraud detection, and management of active sessions.

• Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect data about user interactions on our site—such as pages visited, time spent, and error messages—to help improve overall performance. Tools like Google Analytics are used to gain insights and optimize user experience.

• Functionality Cookies

These cookies remember your selected preferences, like language, region, or stored credentials, allowing us to provide a consistent experience on return visits.

• Targeting or Advertising Cookies

These track your browsing patterns to show relevant ads or promotional content across platforms. Third-party tools such as Facebook Pixel or Google Ads may be used for audience targeting and campaign analysis.

• Security Cookies

These cookies monitor suspicious activity, prevent unauthorized access, and ensure compliance with security standards.

How We Use Cookies

Cookies are deployed to ensure the safe and smooth functioning of our services. They help us:

• Authenticate users and manage login sessions.
• Secure online transactions and detect fraudulent behavior.
• Remember preferences and settings for a customized experience.
• Analyze site usage to improve performance and functionality.
• Facilitate marketing and advertising campaigns via verified third-party tools.

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information such as card numbers, banking credentials, or biometric data.

Some cookies are set by trusted third-party providers that support our platform. These may include:

• Analytics Services – for tracking website performance and user engagement.
• Advertising Networks – for conversion tracking and promotional campaigns.

We do not control how these third parties collect or manage their data. Users are encouraged to review the privacy and cookie policies of these third-party services.

Managing or Disabling Cookies

You can manage or block cookies at any time via your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block all cookies, disable third-party cookies, or remove stored cookies.

Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect key functionalities of our platform, such as login, checkout, or transaction security.

You can also modify your cookie preferences through the cookie consent banner displayed during your first visit to our site.

Duration of Cookies

Cookies used on our platform can be divided into two types:

Session Cookies

These are temporary and are deleted once you close your browser. They are primarily used for authentication and secure session management.

Persistent Cookies

These remain on your device for a specified period or until manually deleted. They help remember your settings, preferences, and login information for future visits.

Consent and Cookie Banner

On your first visit to our website, a cookie banner will appear asking for your consent regarding non-essential cookies.

Clicking “Accept All” allows all cookies, while “Manage Preferences” lets you choose which types of cookies you want to permit. Your selections are stored for future visits and can be updated at any time.

Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Our website does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals sent by browsers because there is no standardized approach for handling such requests.

We remain committed to privacy and will consider supporting DNT once industry standards are established.

Updates to This Cookies Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy at any time to reflect changes in technology, services, or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically to stay informed about how cookies are used on our platform.
