What are Cookies?
Cookies are small information files that a website stores on a user’s device (usually in the web browser such as Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Edge, etc.), so that each time the user visits the website, it retrieves the stored information and facilitates navigation, making the Website and the services provided more useful and user-oriented. A typical example of such information includes a user’s preferences on a Website, as indicated by the selections made (e.g. button selections, searches, advertisements, etc.).
General Classification of Cookies
There are two general categories of cookies:
- Technical cookies: required for the proper operation of a website and for user navigation. Without them, users may be unable to correctly view pages or use certain services.
- Profiling cookies: used to create user profiles for the purpose of sending advertising messages based on user browsing preferences.
Both “technical” and “profiling” cookies may also be categorized as follows:
- Session cookies, which are deleted immediately after the browser is closed
- Persistent cookies, which remain in the browser for a specified period. These cookies are used, for example, to recognize a device when it reconnects to a website, facilitating authentication processes
- First-party cookies, created and controlled directly by the operator of the website the user is visiting
- Third-party cookies, created and controlled by parties other than the operator of the website being visited
Our website uses the following types of cookies:
- First-party cookies, session or persistent cookies, which are necessary for browsing the Website, for internal security purposes and for system management.
- Third-party persistent cookies, used by the Website to send statistical information to Google Analytics, enabling the Company to conduct statistical analysis of access to and visits on the Website. These cookies serve solely statistical purposes and collect information in aggregated form. Using both persistent and session cookies (which expire upon closing the browser), Google Analytics also stores a record of Website visit start and end times.
