Cookie Policy

Cookie Policy

The Spark Reply GmbH website (hereinafter referred to as the "Website") uses Cookies to make its services simple and effective for users.

Cookies are text files, or parcels of information sent from a web server (the website https://sparkreply.com/) to the user's browser, which are memorised on the computer and automatically returned to the server every time the website is accessed. There are various types of Cookie, some used to make using the Website more efficient, others to enable certain functions. For example, Cookies can:

  • memorise entered preferences;
  • prevent users from having to re-enter the same information several times during their visit, for example username and password;
  • analyse use of the services and contents provided by the website visited in order to optimise the browsing experience and services offered.

Types of Cookies used by the Spark Reply GmbH website The types of Cookies used by the Spark Reply GmbH website are listed below, grouped according to their reasons for use.

Technical Cookies
This type of Cookie allows certain sections of the Website to function correctly and are essential in order to allow the user to browse the Website and use its features. There are two categories of technical cookies:

  • persistent: once the browser has been closed these are not cancelled, but last until a predefined expiry date; 
  • session: these are automatically cancelled each time the browser is closed.

These Cookies, always sent by the "https://sparkreply.com/" domain, are necessary for the correct visualisation of the Website and, in relation to the technical services offered, will therefore always be used and sent (unless the user modifies the settings in his or her browser). The aforementioned Cookies used by the Website avoid the need to use other data processing techniques which could potentially reduce the confidentiality of the users' navigation of the website, and do not permit the acquisition of identifying personal information regarding the user.

Functionality Cookies
The Cookies in this category are used to memorise certain settings selected by the user, in order to remember their preferences during future visits.

These Cookies can have the duration of a session but they are generally persistent and sent from the "https://sparkreply.com/" domain. They may also be used when providing a service not explicitly requested by, but provided to the user.

The information gathered by these cookies is anonymous and cannot track the user's behaviour on other websites.

Included in this category, for example, are Cookies used primarily to memorise the user's preferences regarding the country of origin and therefore the language in which the text of the Website is viewed.

Performance Cookies
The cookies in this category (which also include so-called "Cookie analytics") are used to gather information regarding use of the website.

The Spark Reply GmbH website uses this information to obtain anonymous statistical analyses in order to improve use of its Website and to adapt its contents to the desires of its visitors. This type of Cookie gathers information anonymously regarding the user's activity and how he or she arrived at the Website.

Analytical cookies may be sent from the Website itself (so-called "first-party" Cookies) but they are generally sent from third party domains / websites (so-called "third-party" Cookies).

Included in this category, for example, are Web Analytics, where the data gathered is limited to use of the website by the user and the number of accesses to the website, in order to manage the performance and structure of the website. These cookies are generally persistent.

Cookies to integrate products and software functions from third parties
This type of Cookie integrates functions developed by third parties into the pages of the Website such as icons and preferences expressed on social networks (for example, Facebook, Twitter) in order to share the contents of the Website or for the use of third party software services (such as software to generate maps and other software offering additional services). These Cookies are sent by third party domains and partner websites, which therefore offer their features within the pages of the Website.

Third party cookies for marketing / retargeting
The Cookies in this category are only third-party and are used to create user profiles in order to send advertising messages or present advertising banners for the Website when the user is browsing on other websites, in line with the preferences demonstrated by the user within the pages of the Website.
