Cookie Policy

Last updated: 16 July 2026

1. General information

This Cookie Policy explains how the ApeTerra website, operated by Mars 1982 Ltd, uses cookies and similar technologies.

The website operator is:

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on a user’s computer, smartphone, tablet or other device.

They may be used to:

• enable the technical operation of the website;
• maintain settings and preferences;
• protect forms and systems;
• remember consent choices;
• measure website usage;
• display embedded content;
• support functionality provided by third parties.

Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, device identifiers and measurement tools.

3. First-party and third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by the ApeTerra website.

Third-party cookies are set by external providers whose tools or content are used on the website, including providers of:

• maps;
• videos;
• social media;
• analytics;
• security;
• forms;
• embedded content.

Third-party providers may process information under their own privacy and cookie policies.

4. Categories of cookies

4.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to operate and cannot normally be disabled through the consent panel.

They may be used for:

• security and abuse prevention;
• technical session management;
• operation of forms;
• load balancing;
• storing cookie-consent preferences;
• providing a feature expressly requested by the user.

Their lifetime may be limited to the browsing session or may normally extend up to 12 months where a preference must be remembered.

Where applicable, these cookies are used without consent because they are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by the user.

4.2 Preference and functionality cookies

These cookies may remember choices such as:

• language;
• geographic area;
• display settings;
• accessibility preferences;
• previously selected content.

Unless they are essential to provide an expressly requested feature, they are activated on the basis of consent.

Their duration may range from the browsing session to 12 months.

4.3 Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how users interact with the website, including:

• which pages are visited;
• the approximate duration of visits;
• technical errors;
• the type of device used;
• how users reached the website.

The information is used to improve content, navigation, accessibility and performance.

Unless a specific exemption under applicable law applies, analytics cookies are used only with the user’s consent.

Their duration depends on the relevant provider and will normally not exceed 24 months.

4.4 External-content and social-media cookies

Some pages may contain:

• interactive maps;
• videos;
• social-media posts;
• sharing buttons;
• external widgets;
• forms operated by third parties.

These services may set cookies or receive technical data after being activated.

Where required by law, the relevant content is blocked until the user has provided consent.

4.5 Advertising or profiling cookies

Should ApeTerra use advertising, retargeting or campaign-measurement tools in the future, those technologies will be activated only after the user has provided consent.

They may be used to:

• measure campaign effectiveness;
• limit repetition of advertisements;
• create audience segments;
• display more relevant communications.

The website must not activate this category before consent is provided.

5. Detailed cookie list

The name, provider, purpose and duration of the cookies actually used on the website must be displayed through the “Cookie Settings” panel or the consent-management system implemented on the website.

The list may change when technical services or external content are added, removed or updated.

The consent panel is therefore the most up-to-date source for information about individual cookies detected on the website.

6. Managing consent

When first visiting the website, users may be shown a banner allowing them to:

• accept all cookies;
• reject non-essential cookies;
• select individual categories;
• obtain further information.

Failure to make a selection or simply continuing to browse does not constitute consent to non-essential cookies.

Non-exempt analytics, advertising, profiling and external-content technologies must not be loaded before the user has made a positive choice where consent is required.

7. Changing or withdrawing consent

Users may change or withdraw their choices at any time through the “Cookie Settings” link, which should remain available in the website footer or another easily accessible location.

Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of activities carried out before consent was withdrawn.

The page may need to be reloaded after preferences are changed.

8. Browser settings

Most browsers allow users to:

• view stored cookies;
• delete individual cookies;
• block third-party cookies;
• block all cookies;
• receive a notification before a cookie is stored.

Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website from operating correctly.

Browser settings must be changed directly within the browser used by the visitor.

9. Cookie duration

Cookies may be:

• session cookies, which are deleted when the browser is closed;
• persistent cookies, which remain on the device until their expiry date, withdrawal of consent or manual deletion.

The actual duration of each cookie is shown, where available, in the consent-management panel.

10. Processing of personal data

Where cookies or similar technologies involve the processing of personal data, that processing is governed by the ApeTerra Privacy Policy.

11. Updates

This Cookie Policy may be updated following:

• changes in applicable law;
• the introduction of new tools;
• changes in service providers;
• technical changes to the website;
• changes in the purposes for which technologies are used.

The date of the latest revision is displayed at the beginning of this Policy.
