Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve their efficiency, and to provide information to the website operator. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (‘first-party cookies’) or by third-party services operating on that website (‘third-party cookies’).
Cookies can be ‘session cookies’ — which are deleted when you close your browser — or ‘persistent cookies’ — which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them manually.

These cookies are essential for the Website to function. They enable core functionality such as security, session management, and access to restricted areas (including the Investor Portal). You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies without preventing the Website from functioning correctly. They do not require your consent under applicable law.
We use analytics cookies (provided by Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our Website — which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and what navigation paths they follow. This helps us improve the Website’s content and user experience. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised. IP addresses are truncated before processing. We use Google Analytics with IP
anonymisation enabled.
Analytics cookies are only placed on your device with your consent, which you may give or withdraw at any time using our cookie preference centre.
We use marketing cookies (provided by Meta and LinkedIn) to measure the effectiveness of outreach campaigns and to enable retargeted advertising to individuals who have visited the Website. These cookies allow us to show Aterna World content to visitors who may be interested in our technology and solutions after they leave the Website.
Marketing cookies are only placed on your device with your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent at any time using our cookie preference centre or through the opt-out mechanisms provided by Meta and LinkedIn.
Functional cookies enable enhanced features of the Website, such as maintaining form state in the Investor Portal and contact forms and ensuring correct rendering of page builder content. These cookies do not track you across other websites.
Some cookies on our Website are set by third-party providers (Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and WordPress). These providers may combine information collected through cookies on our Website with other information they hold about you in accordance with their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these providers:
When you first visit aternaworld.com, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner. You may accept all cookies, accept strictly necessary cookies only, or customise your preferences by category. Your consent is recorded and your preferences stored for 12 months, after which you will be asked again.
You can update your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the ‘Cookie Settings’ link in the footer of any page on our Website. This will reopen the consent banner, allowing you to adjust your preferences for each cookie category.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, to accept only certain types, or to delete cookies already placed on your device. Browser controls vary by browser; please refer to your browser’s help documentation for instructions. Note that disabling all cookies may affect the functionality of our Website, including access to the Investor Portal and contact forms.
You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
You may manage your advertising preferences for Meta and LinkedIn through the advertising settings within your respective accounts on those platforms.
Some browsers include a ‘Do Not Track’ (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing not be tracked. There is currently no universally agreed standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Our Website does not currently respond to DNT signals, but you can manage your tracking preferences using the cookie consent controls described above.
Some cookies we use may be associated with personal data (such as your IP address or a user ID linked to your Investor Portal account). Where cookies process personal data, that processing is described in our Privacy Policy. Strictly necessary cookies associated with the Investor Portal are processed on the basis of contractual necessity. Analytics and marketing cookies are processed on the basis of your consent.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or applicable law. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised effective date. We will also re-present the cookie consent banner if we introduce new cookie categories or materially change our use of existing cookies.
For any questions about our use of cookies or to exercise your data rights in relation to cookie data, please contact us at privacy@aternaworld.com.
