1. What is this policy about?
This Cookie Policy explains how 99MINDS SAS ("we") uses cookies and similar technologies on the website https://agency-iq.io (the "Website") and the AgencyIQ platform (the "Platform"), in accordance with Article 82 of the French Data Protection Act of 6 January 1978 as amended, which transposes the ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC, and with the CNIL's guidelines and recommendations of 17 September 2020 on cookies and trackers.
2. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website or use an application. Cookies allow the website to recognise your device, remember your preferences or actions, and in some cases collect information about your browsing behaviour.
We also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixel tags, and SDK identifiers. For the purposes of this Policy, all such technologies are referred to as "cookies".
3. Consent and Legal Basis
Under Article 82 of the Loi Informatique et Libertés, we must obtain your prior consent before placing or reading non-essential cookies on your device. Your consent is collected via a cookie consent banner that appears on your first visit, which allows you to accept all cookies, refuse all cookies, or choose the cookies you accept by category, with equal visual weight between "Accept" and "Refuse" buttons, as required by the CNIL.
You may change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link available in the footer of the Website. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.
Some cookies do not require your consent because they are strictly necessary to provide the service requested by the user. They are placed on the basis of Article 82, paragraph 2 of the Loi Informatique et Libertés.

As of the date of this Policy, no marketing cookies are deployed on the Website.
