(hereafter "cookies"). Cookies may be used by website owners or by third parties – advertisers, for example – who communicate via the website you visit.

The use of cookies is safe. No personal information, such as a telephone number or an e-mail address, can be traced back to cookies. As a result, cookies cannot be used for e-mail and/or other marketing actions.

We think it is important that you know which cookies our Website and mobile application use and for which purposes they are used. We want to guarantee your privacy and user-friendliness as much as possible. Below you can read more about the cookies we use and for which purposes.

Cookies to measure usage of the Website and mobile application

In order to determine which parts of the Website and mobile application are most interesting for our visitors, we continuously try to measure, with the help of a third-party software, the number of visitors/users and the most frequently viewed parts. We use cookies for this purpose.

The information we collect in this way is used to compile statistics. These statistics give us insight into how often our web page is visited, where exactly visitors spend most of their time, and so on. This enables us to make the structure, navigation and content of the Website as user-friendly as possible for you. The statistics and other reports are not traced back to persons unless they register on the Website.

See below for a list of the cookies we use to gather statistics, what data they collect and how long they are used.

For the cookies that our third parties place and the possible data that they collect, we refer to the statements that these parties provide on their own websites about this; see the links below.

These cookies are used by advertising networks who act as intermediaries between Vive Invest and advertisers. They are used to show relevant, personalised advertisements or offers through every type of medium (e.g. e-mail, social media, banner ads) based on your behaviour on our Website. They are also used for remarketing advertisements.

These cookies are used to:

  • Show relevant, personalised advertisements or offers through every type of medium (e.g. e-mail, social media, banner ads) based on your behaviour on our Website and mobile application
  • Limit the number of times each advertisement is displayed;
  • Measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign;

See below for a list of the cookies media agencies, advertising networks, and/or we use in combination with advertisements, what data they collect and how long they are used. This list is subject to change.

If such cookies are not used, you will still see advertisements. This is because advertisements are also shown to users who do not use cookies. These advertisements may, for example, be adapted to the content of the Website and/or mobile application.

For the cookies that our third parties place for advertising purposes, we refer to the statements that these third parties provide on their own websites. Please note that these statements are subject to change on a regular basis. Vive Invest has no influence over this.

Other / Unforeseen Cookies

Due to the way the internet and websites work, we may not always have insight into the cookies that are placed by third parties via our Website or mobile application. This is particularly the case if our web pages contain so-called embedded elements; these are texts, documents, images or films that are stored with another party, but which are shown on, in or via our Website and/or mobile application.

You can also change the settings in such a way that your browser rejects all cookies or only the cookies of third parties. You can also delete cookies that have already been placed. Please note that you will need to change the settings separately for each browser and computer you use.

Please be aware that if you do not want cookies, we will no longer be able to guarantee that our Website is working properly. It is possible that some functions of the Website are lost or even that you can't see certain websites at all.
