Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 30, 2026

This Cookie Policy ("Cookie Policy") is provided by Nova Development ("we", "us" or "Nova Development"), the operator of the Nova Development websites available at www.novadevelopment.com and related applications, as we may make available from time to time (the "Websites").

This Cookie Policy is designed to inform you about the use of cookies and other online technologies used as part of the Websites operation and constitutes an integral part of our Privacy Policy.

1. Cookies and Similar Web Technologies

Cookies, together with similar technologies, such as tags, web beacons and pixels, are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites properly function, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the operators of the Website's activity. The table below explains the cookies we use and why we use them.

2. The Type of Cookies We Use and Why

We use several types of cookies on the Websites, including those used by some of our service providers, to help us with operating and maintaining the Websites, so as to understand the type and level of user engagement with our Websites and the elements and services included within.

We refer to four main categories of cookies:

Category Purpose of Usage Lawful Basis
Essential / Strictly Necessary We use necessary cookies to make our Website operational and functional. These cookies are required for the basic functioning of our Website. They enable core features such as session management, security, CSRF protection, and load balancing. These cookies are exempt from the consent requirement under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) as they are strictly necessary for the provision of the service you have explicitly requested.
Performance & Analytics Cookies that help us understand how visitors interact with the Websites and related services, by providing information about the areas visited, the time spent on the Websites, and any issues encountered, such as error messages. Cookies in this category also help us comply with data protection legislation by saving confirmations, requests to opt in or opt out from certain services we may offer from time to time. We consider this category optional, although highly important for our ability to improve our Websites and related services. Therefore, we will use this category upon your consent.
Functionality Cookies that allow the Websites to provide enhanced functionality that eases our visitors and makes their experience more personalized. These would normally be set by third-party services and include services such as remembering choices that visitors make, such as user name, preferred language, region or other settings defined by the user. The use of this category of cookies will be made upon your consent.
Marketing / Advertising This type of cookie may be set through our Website by advertising partners that help us advertise and promote our services. They may be used by those companies to understand users' interests and show them relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising. The use of this category of cookies will be made upon your consent.

3. Cookies Used on the Website

The following section is generated by OneTrust and displays the cookies identified on our Website.

3.1 Profiling Technologies

In addition to cookies, we and our advertising partners use the following tracking and profiling technologies on our Websites:

Web Beacons and Pixels

Small invisible images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us and our partners to detect when a page has been viewed or an email has been opened, and to collect information such as your IP address, browser type, and the time of your visit. We use pixels from advertising partners including Google, Facebook, and Microsoft Bing.

Session Replay

We use Microsoft Clarity to record anonymized session replays, which are recordings of how users navigate and interact with our Websites, including mouse movements, clicks and scrolls. These recordings do not capture passwords or payment information and are used solely to improve usability and identify technical issues. Session replay is only activated upon your consent to Performance & Analytics cookies.

Behavioral Profiling for Advertising

Our advertising partners, including Google, Microsoft Bing, Facebook and others, may combine data collected through cookies and pixels on our Websites with data collected on other websites and services to build interest-based profiles about you. These profiles are used to show you targeted advertisements on other websites. This profiling is based on your browsing behavior and is only activated upon your consent to Marketing / Advertising cookies.

Heatmaps

We use heatmap technology, including Microsoft Clarity, to create visual representations of how users interact with pages on our Websites, including where users click and how far they scroll. This data is aggregated and anonymized and is only activated upon your consent to Performance & Analytics cookies.

You may opt out of behavioral profiling for advertising at any time by withdrawing your consent via the cookie settings icon, or by visiting the opt-out tools of our advertising partners directly.

4. Consent and Choice

Necessary cookies are always used by default to make the Websites work. We would also like to set optional cookies to help us improve our Websites and better understand how visitors make use of them. We will not set optional cookies unless you provide your explicit consent through our cookie consent banner or cookie preference center.

In accordance with CNIL guidelines, non-essential cookies placed on your device have a maximum lifespan of 13 months. At the end of this period, your consent will be requested again before these cookies are renewed. Your cookie preferences are stored for up to 12 months. After this period, the consent banner will be displayed again.

When you first visit our Website, a cookie consent banner is displayed allowing you to accept, decline, or customize your cookie preferences. Only strictly necessary cookies are placed before you make your choice. You can modify your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings icon available on each page.

You can also change your cookie preferences at any time using the button below:

7. Cross-Border Data Transfers

Some of the third-party services that set cookies on our Websites process personal data outside of your country of residence, including in the United States and other countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction.

Where such transfers occur from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection law, including the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, or other appropriate transfer mechanisms.

Third-party providers whose cookies may involve international transfers include, but are not limited to: Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Cloudflare, HubSpot and Zendesk. For more information on how these providers handle your data, please refer to their respective privacy policies.

We do not use cookies or the data collected through cookies on our Websites to make automated decisions that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects on individual users.

Certain automated systems operate as part of our fraud detection and bot management infrastructure, such as Cloudflare Bot Management. These systems may automatically block traffic identified as non-human. Any determination affecting a human user's access is subject to human review upon request. Please contact dpo@novadevelopment.com if you believe you have been incorrectly affected by such a system.

10. Data Retention Periods

The lifespan of a cookie refers to the duration for which that cookie file is stored on your device. This is distinct from the period for which we or our third-party partners may retain the personal data collected through those cookies.

11. Global Privacy Control

We recognize and honor the Global Privacy Control signal, where technically feasible and required by applicable law, including the California Privacy Rights Act. If your browser transmits a GPC signal, we will treat it as a valid opt-out request from the sale and sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes.

Honoring a GPC signal does not affect the placement of strictly necessary cookies. You can enable GPC through supported browsers or browser extensions. To learn more, visit globalprivacycontrol.org .

12. Sensitive Personal Information - California

Based on our current cookie practices, we do not believe that the cookies used on our Websites collect sensitive personal information as defined under CPRA, such as precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, health data, or financial account details.

The categories of personal information we collect through cookies include identifiers, such as device IDs, IP addresses and cookie IDs; internet or other electronic network activity information; and inferences drawn from that information to create a profile about your preferences and interests. If this assessment changes, we will update this section accordingly.

13. Profiling Disclosures - Québec Law 25

Cookie data collected through Marketing / Advertising cookies and, to a lesser extent, Performance & Analytics cookies may be used to create profiles about your interests, browsing behavior and preferences. This profiling is conducted by us and by our third-party advertising partners for the purpose of showing you targeted advertisements on our Websites and on other websites across the internet. Such profiling is only activated upon your express consent to Marketing / Advertising cookies.

You may withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings icon or Cookie Settings button. You also have the right to request access to the profile established about you and to request its deletion by contacting dpo@novadevelopment.com.
