  • Customizing certain settings such as the one related to the language in which the site is viewed;
  • Feedback to the website owner, which shows us how the website is being used so that we can make it more accessible to you, more efficient and improve the overall experience you have of accessing our website;

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

 

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you access our website. Thanks to these cookies, the site can retain your actions and preferences (login, language, font size and other display preferences) for a period of time. Thus, you no longer have to re-enter them every time you return to the site.

 

A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and the content or value of the cookie. Moreover, the lifetime of a cookie is determined. Technically, only the web server that sent that cookie can access it again when the user returns to the site associated with that web server.

 

Cookies do not require personal information to be used, nor can they personally identify Internet users.

 

There are 2 large categories of cookies:

 

1. Session cookies: this category of cookies is temporarily stored in the cookies file of the web browser used so that it remembers them until the user ends his session, i.e. he leaves the respective website or closes the browser window (for example, when logging in/out on a webmail account or on social networks).

 

2. Persistent cookies: this category of cookies is stored on the hard drive of a computer or device and generally depends on the lifetime of the cookie. This category of cookies also includes those placed by a website other than the one visited by users at the time. The latter are known as "third party cookies" (cookies placed by third parties) and can be used anonymously to remember a user's interests in order to deliver the most relevant advertising to users.

 

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF COOKIES?

Cookies contain information that connects the user's browser and a web server - website. When a browser accesses a website again, the latter can read the information already stored and react accordingly. Through these things, cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and help us to offer services in line with our users' preferences - in terms of online privacy, site language options, shopping baskets or relevant advertising.

 

WHAT IS THE LIFETIME OF A COOKIE?

Cookies are managed by web servers and the lifetime of a cookie can vary significantly depending on the purpose for which it was placed.

SECURITY AND PRIVACY ISSUES

First of all, we need to know: Cookies are NOT viruses and, therefore, do not affect your device from which you browse a website.

In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a certain site.

As mentioned previously and in this site's terms and conditions and privacy policy, the protection of your personal data is extremely important to us and is a right that every internet user has. In this sense, we make every effort to ensure that your personal data is protected.

It should be noted that, through cookies, information is constantly transmitted in both directions, between the browser and the site. Even though this is usually safe, an attacker or an unauthorized person could intervene and the information contained in cookies could be intercepted. This happens very rarely, in exceptional situations, such as when the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network, such as an unsecured WIFI network, for example. That is why it is very important to be careful in choosing the most suitable method of personal information protection

Since most of the websites use cookies, it makes cookies almost unavoidable. When a user decides to disable cookies, the use of the site may be difficult or even impossible.

 

Thus, here you can find some tips that can ensure that you browse without worries, but with the help of cookies:
Customize your browser cookie settings to reflect a comfortable level of cookie security for you.
If you don't mind cookies and you are the only person using the device, you can set long expiration periods for storing browsing history and personal access data.
In the situation where device access is shared, you may consider setting your browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close your browser.
Install and regularly update antispyware applications. Many of these applications also include detection of attacks on websites. Thus, the browser will be prevented from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software.
Make sure your browser is always up to date
