These are transmissions that are sent to recipients as, e.g. an advertisement, without first obtaining prior confirmed consent or "opt-in" to receive them from the sender. If You send such unsolicited email to recipients who have not requested to receive it, Your email transmission may be considered to be spam. Adicio has a no-tolerance spam policy. In the event Adicio discovers You are sending high volumes of emails and considers, exercising its sole discretion, that You are using the Email Services in order to send spam, We reserve the right to either suspend Your email account and Your use of the Email Services, redirect Your homepage or implement technical mechanisms until corrective measures are taken or Your email account is cancelled. For individuals who have been recipients of spam, please report any suspected abuse to support@adicio.asia. If applicable, please also unsubscribe from the newsletter using the link at the bottom of the email if you no longer wish to receive emails from the sender. We will take the appropriate action against the sender of the email in question. Although Adicio has no obligation to monitor Your use of the Email Services or the content provided by You as part of Your use of the Email Services, Adicio may do so and may block any email messages, remove any such content or prohibit any use of the Email Services that Adicio, in its sole discretion, believes may be (or is alleged to be) in violation of this Agreement, including this Policy. Using Permission-Based Lists
A permission based list is a list of email addressees (persons or organizations) that have explicitly granted their permission to receive commercial email communications from You. You agree to import, access or use only permission-based lists in connection with Your use of the Email Services. You agree that You shall not utilize the Email Services to send any commercial electronic mail message to any person who has opted out or otherwise objected to receiving such messages from You or another sender on whose behalf You may be acting. You cannot mail to distribution lists, newsgroups, or spam/unsolicited email addresses. Email and facsimile commercial transmissions sent using Our Email Services must include the following:
- Each message that is sent using the Email Service must contain a conspicuous and simple, (e.g. one-click, opt-out method) "unsubscribe" link that allows recipients to remove themselves from Your mailing list or "opt out" of receiving further communications from You. You agree that You will not remove, disable or attempt to remove or disable the unsubscribe link.
- You acknowledge that You are responsible for maintaining and honouring the list of unsubscribe requests and taking action on each request within 10 days of being notified of any request for removal or opt-out and the opt-out mechanism must be active for at least 30 days from receipt.
- You acknowledge and agree that You are the sole or designated "sender" of any message sent by You using the Email Services.
- You agree that the "from" line of any message sent by You using the Email Services will accurately and in a non-deceptive manner identify Your organization, Your product or Your service.

- You agree to include in any message a legitimate return address and reply-to address.
If You engage in any of these activities when sending commercial communications Your transmission may be considered to be Spam:
- using non-permissions-based email or facsimile lists;
- failing to include a working opt-out link in Your email;
- failing to honour opt-out requests within 10 days of Your receiving such notice;
- using false or misleading information in the subject line;

Cookies are small pieces of code issued to your device when you visit a website, which store and sometimes track information about your use of our site. We use cookies to elevate your user experience and the quality of our site and service. When you enter our site, our web server sends a cookie to your computer, which allows us to recognize your computer. By using our site, you consent to our cookie settings and agree that you understand our cookie policy, which explains how you can manage your cookie choices and preferences. Please be aware that restricting cookies will impact your user experience and may prevent you from using part of our website.

Persistent cookies may be used for a variety of purposes including remembering our users' preferences and choices when using our site or to target advertising. · First- and third-party cookies: Whether a cookie is "first" or "third" party refers to the website or domain placing the cookie. In basic terms, first-party cookies are set by a website visited by the user—the website displayed in the URL window. Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain, such as google.com, other than the one being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and a separate company sets a cookie through that website, this would be a third-party cookie. · Remarketing: CSC uses remarketing. Placing a remarketing tag on our website can help us reach visitors who have previously visited our website as they visit other sites on the Google Display NetworkTM service or search on Google®.

If you access our website in Europe, you can refuse to click the "I accept" box or click the "I disagree" box when you are presented with a cookie notice on our homepage. When you access our website outside of Europe, our system will automatically issue cookies when you log on to our website (unless you have set your browser to reject them). 4.3.5.
