Like most websites, Almedia uses cookies to store information, such as visitors’ preferences and the pages accessed or visited. This helps us optimize user experiences by customizing content based on browser types and other relevant information.

Strictly necessary cookies and similar technologies are used on the basis of Section 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG, because they are required to provide the website and its core functions. To the extent personal data is processed in connection with such technologies, we rely on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Non-essential cookies and similar technologies used for analytics, tracking, and marketing are used only on the basis of your consent pursuant to Section 25(1) TDDDG and, to the extent personal data is processed, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Third-Party Advertising and Privacy Policies

Almedia’s Privacy Policy does not govern the practices of third-party advertisers or websites. Third-party ad servers or ad networks may use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons in their advertisements and links on Almedia. These technologies automatically collect your IP address and are used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and personalize advertising content.

Almedia has no access to or control over these third-party cookies. We recommend consulting the privacy policies of these third-party services for detailed information, including instructions on how to opt-out.

Where such third parties process personal data on our behalf, they do so subject to applicable contractual and data protection safeguards, where they act as independent controllers, their own privacy policies apply.

International Transfers

We and our service providers may process personal data in the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, and other countries. Where personal data is transferred to recipients outside the EEA/UK, we ensure that such transfers are made in accordance with applicable data protection law. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards, including the EU Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, unless and to the extent that an adequacy decision or another lawful transfer mechanism applies. If you would like further information about the safeguards used for international transfers, please contact us at privacy@almedia.co.

Information about the EU Standard Contractual Clauses is available on the European Commission website.

Protecting children’s privacy is a top priority. Almedia does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you believe your child has provided this type of information, please contact us immediately, and we will promptly remove it from our records.
