Cookie Policy

Introduction

Applabs Corp ("we", "us" or "our") operates applabscorp.com.

This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we collect, use and protect personal information.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your device when you visit a website.

Cookies and similar technologies can help a website function correctly, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the website, measure performance and support advertising or conversion tracking.

Similar technologies may include browser storage, pixels, tags, scripts, software development kits and other identifiers used for comparable purposes.

Necessary Cookies

Necessary cookies and similar technologies are used where required for basic website operation, security and functionality.

These may include technologies used to:

• Maintain essential website functionality.
• Protect the website against abuse or malicious activity.
• Store your cookie and privacy preferences.
• Support technical functions required for the website to operate correctly.

These technologies cannot normally be disabled through our consent controls because the website may not function correctly without them.

Analytics Cookies

With your permission, we may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors interact with our website.

This information may help us understand:

• How many people visit the website.
• Which pages are visited.
• How visitors move between pages.
• How visitors arrived at the website.
• Approximate location, device and browser information.
• Website performance and technical issues.
• Which areas of the website are most useful to visitors.

We may use services such as Google Analytics or comparable analytics platforms for these purposes.

Advertising and Marketing Cookies

With your permission, we may use advertising, conversion-measurement and marketing technologies provided by advertising platforms.

These technologies may be used to:

• Measure whether an advertising campaign resulted in an enquiry or other conversion.
• Understand which advertising channels or campaigns perform effectively.
• Measure advertising reach and effectiveness.
• Create or measure advertising audiences where permitted.
• Support remarketing or personalised advertising where you have provided the required consent.
• Reduce unnecessary repetition of advertising.

Providers may include Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, Meta and other advertising platforms that we may use from time to time.

How We Use Your Consent

Where applicable law requires consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies, we aim to obtain that consent before activating the relevant storage or processing.

When you first visit our website, you may be presented with cookie controls that allow you to:

• Accept all optional technologies.
• Reject optional technologies.
• Choose which categories you wish to allow.

Necessary technologies remain active where they are required for website operation.

Consent and Measurement Technologies

Some analytics and advertising platforms may support privacy controls that adapt how their technologies operate according to your consent preferences.

For example, certain services may receive consent-status signals indicating whether analytics or advertising storage has been permitted.

Where supported, measurement may also use limited, aggregated or cookieless information when optional storage has not been permitted, subject to the settings and capabilities of the relevant provider.

Third-Party Services

Some cookies, pixels, tags and similar technologies may be provided by third-party services that help us operate, analyse or market our website.

These providers may include services for:

• Website analytics.
• Advertising measurement.
• Conversion tracking.
• Remarketing.
• Website performance monitoring.
• Security and anti-abuse protection.

Third-party providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies, contractual terms and applicable data-protection obligations.

Google Services

We may use Google services such as Google Analytics, Google Ads and related measurement technologies.

Depending on your consent preferences and our configuration, these services may process information relating to website visits, advertising interactions, traffic sources, conversions, device information and other measurement data.

Google Search Console may also be used to monitor search performance and indexing. Search Console itself does not normally require the placement of visitor tracking cookies on our website.

Microsoft Services

We may use Microsoft services such as Bing Webmaster Tools, Microsoft Advertising and Universal Event Tracking.

Bing Webmaster Tools may be used to understand website indexing and search visibility.

Microsoft Advertising technologies may be used, where permitted, for advertising measurement, conversion tracking, audience measurement and related marketing purposes.

Social Media and Advertising Platforms

We may use advertising technologies supplied by social media or advertising platforms where relevant to our marketing activities.

These may include technologies such as the Meta Pixel or comparable tools offered by other advertising providers.

Where consent is required, these technologies should not be used for optional advertising purposes unless the appropriate consent has been provided.

How Long Cookies May Remain

Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies.

Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies may remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.

The exact duration depends on the purpose of the cookie and the provider responsible for it.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage optional cookie categories using the cookie controls provided on our website.

You may also be able to delete or block cookies through your browser settings.

Restricting certain technologies may affect how some website features operate or may reduce our ability to understand website performance and advertising effectiveness.

Changing or Withdrawing Consent

Where processing is based on your consent, you may change or withdraw that consent.

Our website is intended to provide a cookie settings control that allows you to review or update your preferences after your initial choice.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

Browser Cookie Controls

Most web browsers allow you to view, remove, restrict or block cookies through their privacy or security settings.

Browser controls operate separately from the cookie preferences provided directly on our website.

Blocking all cookies at browser level may prevent certain website functionality from operating correctly.

Browser Privacy Signals

Some browsers or devices may send privacy preference signals, such as Do Not Track or other recognised browser-level privacy controls.

Support for these signals varies between browsers, platforms and applicable legal requirements. We may update our practices as technology and regulatory requirements evolve.

International Processing

Some analytics, advertising and technology providers may operate infrastructure outside Mauritius.

As a result, information associated with these technologies may be processed in other countries.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers of personal information, we aim to use providers and arrangements that provide appropriate protection.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the technologies we use, our business practices or applicable legal requirements.

The date displayed at the top of this page indicates when this policy was most recently updated.
