Adora.network currently uses the following principal technology and infrastructure providers.
|
Provider |
Role |
Main purpose |
|
AdKernel |
Advertising technology / SaaS provider |
Provides the underlying advertising technology and infrastructure used by Adora.network for programmatic advertising and related advertising operations. |
|
WordPress |
Website / CMS |
Provides the content-management platform used for the Adora.network website. |
|
IONOS |
Hosting / infrastructure |
Provides hosting and related technical infrastructure for the Adora.network website. |
These providers are described below.
6.1 AdKernel
Adora.network uses AdKernel as its advertising technology and SaaS provider.
AdKernel’s platform may support advertising functions including ad serving, programmatic advertising and related advertising operations.
Depending on the services and configuration used by Adora.network, AdKernel’s technology may process information associated with:
AdKernel’s own privacy documentation states that its platform and related partners may use cookies, web beacons, tags, scripts, advertising identifiers and similar technologies, and that its ecosystem may involve processors, sub-processors and third-party partners.
The precise data processed by AdKernel on behalf of or in connection with Adora.network depends on the services and technical configuration actually enabled for Adora.network.
Adora.network does not represent that every feature described in AdKernel’s public documentation is enabled or used by Adora.network.
6.2 WordPress
Adora.network uses WordPress as the content-management system for its website.
WordPress provides website-management functionality and may involve cookies or similar technologies depending on the WordPress installation, theme, plugins and services used.
WordPress documentation confirms that WordPress websites may use both first-party and third-party cookies, and that the actual cookies depend on the services and configuration of the website.
Adora.network will therefore maintain its cookie inventory based on the actual WordPress installation and the plugins and third-party services currently enabled.
6.3 IONOS
Adora.network uses IONOS for website hosting and related infrastructure.
IONOS states that its web-hosting products may process technical information relating to website visitors, including information such as requested resources, browser type, operating system, device type, access time, referrer and IP information, depending on the applicable hosting product.
The exact processing applicable to Adora.network depends on the specific IONOS hosting product and configuration used.
Adora.network may communicate or make relevant information available to participants in the advertising ecosystem.
These may include:
The identity of advertising counterparties may vary depending on the publisher, campaign, auction, geographic market, advertising opportunity and technical integration.
For this reason, Adora.network uses named providers where their role is stable and known, such as AdKernel, WordPress and IONOS, while describing changing advertising counterparties by category.
Adora.network will not represent a company as an Adora.network partner merely because that company is part of the wider programmatic advertising ecosystem.
Where technically and legally necessary, Adora.network may transmit relevant information to advertising ecosystem participants for the purpose of facilitating an advertising transaction.
The information shared depends on the relevant integration and may include:
Adora.network seeks to limit such information to what is relevant to the applicable advertising transaction and permitted under applicable law.
Adora.network may use cookies and similar technologies, including:
These technologies may be used for:
The actual technologies used depend on the relevant website, advertising service and technical configuration.
Strictly necessary technologies
Technologies necessary for the website or service to function, maintain security or provide a functionality specifically requested by the user.
Where an applicable legal exemption exists, these technologies may be used without consent.
Advertising technologies
Technologies used for advertising delivery, targeting, frequency capping or related advertising functions.
Where consent is legally required, these technologies will only be used following valid consent.
Measurement and analytics technologies
Technologies used to measure traffic, advertising performance or technical operation.
Security and fraud-prevention technologies
Technologies used to detect suspicious activity, invalid traffic, abuse or security threats.
Where applicable law requires consent for cookies or similar technologies, Adora.network will seek valid consent before activating those technologies.
Consent must be:
For users in Spain, AEPD guidance states that applicable cookie consent must be valid and informed and that the options to accept and reject should be presented at the same time, at the same level and with the same visibility.
Continued browsing alone will not be treated as consent where valid consent is required.
The consent-management solution used by Adora.network, if any, may be provided by a third party.
If a CMP is introduced or enabled, Adora.network will update its vendor and cookie inventory to identify the relevant provider.
Where Adora.network’s technology operates on a publisher’s website or application, the publisher may be responsible for operating the applicable consent-management mechanism and transmitting the relevant consent or privacy signal.
The following table identifies the currently known technology providers. It deliberately does not invent specific cookie names or retention periods that have not been verified against Adora.network’s actual production configuration.

Adora.network will maintain an internal technical inventory containing the actual cookie or identifier name, provider, purpose, duration and consent status.
Depending on the relevant website, application and technology, users may be able to control advertising-related processing through:
Because some advertising identifiers and cookies are browser- or device-specific, deleting cookies or changing browser settings may affect the persistence of privacy choices.
Depending on the processing activity, Adora.network may rely on:
Where consent is legally required for advertising cookies or similar technologies, Adora.network will not treat legitimate interests as a replacement for that required consent.
Adora.network’s legitimate interests may include operating and securing its business, preventing fraud, maintaining technical infrastructure, providing requested services, measuring service performance and defending legal claims, provided that the applicable legal requirements are satisfied.
Programmatic advertising involves automated processing.
Systems may automatically evaluate information associated with an advertising opportunity and determine whether an advertisement or bid is eligible for an auction.
Factors may include:
This processing is generally used to facilitate advertising, measurement, optimisation, security or fraud prevention.
Adora.network does not intend such processing to produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning individuals.
Adora.network seeks to process information that is relevant and proportionate to the purposes described in this Policy.
Adora.network does not intentionally seek to collect special categories of personal data for ordinary programmatic advertising purposes.
Advertisers, publishers and other partners should not transmit unnecessary sensitive personal data through Adora.network’s advertising technology.
Adora.network retains personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
Retention periods may depend on:
Different systems and providers may therefore have different retention periods.
Adora.network does not adopt the retention periods of AdKernel, IONOS, WordPress or any other provider as its own unless those periods actually apply to Adora.network’s processing.
Some technology, advertising or service providers used by Adora.network may process information outside Spain or the European Economic Area.
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, Adora.network will use an appropriate legal transfer mechanism where required, including, where applicable:
Appropriate safeguards will be considered where required.
Adora.network takes reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against:
Security measures may include access controls, authentication, confidentiality obligations, system monitoring, secure infrastructure and appropriate technical safeguards.
No internet-based service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Adora.network’s services are not directed specifically at children.
Adora.network does not knowingly seek to create advertising profiles of children for its ordinary advertising activities.
Because Adora.network’s technology may operate on third-party websites and applications, Adora.network may not always be able to independently determine the age of every person who encounters an advertisement.
Publishers and advertising partners remain responsible for complying with applicable requirements concerning children and age-restricted audiences.
For advertiser and publisher accounts, Adora.network may process registration, contact, contractual, campaign, technical, billing and payment information.
This information may be used to:
Where Adora.network makes or receives payments or publisher payouts, relevant information may be processed by Adora.network and applicable payment providers, banks or financial institutions.
Payment providers may process personal data under their own privacy notices and contractual terms.
Adora.network will seek to avoid unnecessarily storing payment-card information where payment processing can be performed securely by a specialised provider.
Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to:
Requests may be submitted to:
mariia@adora.network
Adora.network may request reasonable information necessary to verify the identity of the requester before responding.
Where Adora.network processes personal data based on legitimate interests, you may have the right to object to such processing.
You may also have rights to object to direct marketing.
Where advertising technology operates through a publisher website or application, additional choices may be available through that publisher’s consent-management system or other applicable advertising-choice mechanism.
You may request deletion of personal data where applicable.
Deletion may be limited where Adora.network has a legal obligation to retain information or where retention is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, prevent fraud, maintain security or comply with another lawful requirement.
Adora.network’s website and advertising services may interact with third-party websites, applications, platforms and services.
Those third parties may have their own privacy policies and terms.
Adora.network is not responsible for the independent privacy practices of third parties that operate outside Adora.network’s control.
Adora.network may update this Privacy & Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect:
The latest version will be published on the Adora.network website.
The “Last updated” date indicates the date on which this Policy was most recently revised.
