1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Avo Automation (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website (www.avoautomation.com). This policy complies with GDPR, UK GDPR, Swiss FADP, CCPA/CPRA, U.S. State privacy laws, CIPA, and ROW regional requirements.

2. Regional Consent Models

We apply different cookie controls depending on the visitor’s region:

• EU/EEA, United Kingdom, Switzerland (GDPR/UK GDPR/CH)
  • - Non-essential cookies are blocked until explicit opt-in consent.
  • - The cookie banner presents granular consent categories.

• California and U.S. States with Privacy Laws (CCPA/CPRA, VA, CO, CT, UT)
  • - Cookies remain active by default.
  • - Users may opt out of:
  • - Targeted advertising - Sale or sharing of personal data
  • - Certain forms of profiling
  • - “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” mechanism is provided.

• Rest of the World (ROW)

3. How Regional Logic Is Applied (Geolocation-Based Consent)

We implement regional consent logic through:

• IP-based geolocation lookup
• Browser locale/language settings
• Local legal requirements

Visitors in each region will see a customized banner:

• GDPR regions → strict opt-in banner
• California/US states → opt-out banner with privacy controls
• ROW → informational notice

Cookie categories are activated differently depending on the region’s legal obligations.
