Cookie Policy
At Assetalk, we use cookies and similar technologies to help operate our Website, understand how visitors use our content, improve performance, and support certain features and services. This Cookie Policy explains what these technologies are, why they may be used on assetalk.com, and the choices available to you. Because Assetalk is a developing publication, the specific technologies used on the Website may change over time. This policy is intended to describe the categories and purposes of those technologies without claiming that Assetalk uses a particular third-party service unless that service is actually implemented.

They allow websites to recognize a browser or device and perform functions such as maintaining sessions, remembering preferences, measuring website usage, supporting security, and improving the overall browsing experience. Assetalk and third-party services may also use technologies that perform functions similar to cookies, including pixels, tags, local storage, web beacons, and other identifiers.

The exact cookies used on Assetalk may change as we add, remove, or update website functionality.
Categories of Cookies
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies may be necessary for the basic operation, security, or functionality of the Website. These technologies can support functions that visitors reasonably expect when accessing a website, such as maintaining certain sessions, supporting security, or remembering choices related to privacy settings. Where legally permitted, essential technologies may operate without optional-cookie consent because disabling them could interfere with basic Website functionality.
Preference Cookies
Preference cookies may allow Assetalk to remember choices made by visitors, where those features are available. For example, they may help maintain selected settings or preferences between visits.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics technologies help us understand how visitors interact with Assetalk. They may provide information about page visits, traffic sources, navigation patterns, device types, engagement, and website performance. This information helps us understand what readers find useful and identify areas where the Website can be improved.
Advertising and Marketing Cookies
If Assetalk uses advertising or marketing technologies, those technologies may support advertising delivery, measurement, attribution, frequency management, or personalization.
Third-party advertising providers may independently use cookies or comparable technologies in accordance with their own policies and applicable legal requirements.
First-Party and Third-Party Technologies
Some technologies may be placed directly by Assetalk, while others may be provided by third-party services used to support particular Website functions. Third-party technologies may be associated with analytics, advertising, security, embedded content, website performance, communications, or other services.Third-party providers may have their own privacy policies and terms governing their use of information. We encourage you to review those policies when you interact with third-party services.
How Long Cookies Remain
Cookies can generally be divided into two categories based on how long they remain on your device.
- Session cookies normally expire when you close your browser or end your browsing session.
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period or until they are deleted or expire.
The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose and the service responsible for placing it.
Your Cookie Choices
Where applicable, Assetalk may provide a cookie-consent or preference mechanism that allows visitors to manage certain non-essential technologies. Depending on the implementation and your location, you may be able to accept, reject, or change preferences relating to optional cookies. You can also control cookies through your browser. Most modern browsers allow you to review, delete, block, or restrict cookies.
However, disabling certain cookies may affect the operation, performance, or availability of particular Website features.
Cookies and Advertising
If Assetalk displays advertising, advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure advertising performance, understand interactions, manage frequency, or deliver relevant advertisements. The use of these technologies may vary depending on the advertising providers and services implemented on the Website.
Where applicable law requires consent or provides visitors with specific choices concerning advertising technologies, Assetalk will seek to provide the relevant controls.
Cookies and Privacy
Information collected through cookies or similar technologies may sometimes be associated with other information that relates to a visitor or device. Our Privacy Policy explains more broadly how Assetalk may collect, use, share, and protect information.
This Cookie Policy should therefore be read together with our Privacy Policy.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
Assetalk may update this Cookie Policy when our Website technology, analytics, advertising arrangements, features, or legal obligations change. The updated policy will be published on this page, and the “Last Updated” date will be revised accordingly.
