COOKIES POLICY

What are cookies? Cookies are small files, made up of letters and numbers, that will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal, or other equipment of a user from which they access the internet. The cookie is installed by a request issued by a web server to a browser – such as Chrome, Firefox – and is passive – it does not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and cannot access information from the user’s hard drive.

What are cookies used for? Cookies make it possible to recognize the user’s terminal and present the content in a relevant way, tailored to the user’s preferences. They ensure a pleasant browsing experience and are a resource to offer the user a comfortable experience – online privacy preferences, preferred language, relevant content, etc. Cookies are also used to generate anonymous reports and statistics, which help us understand the use of the site, the interests of the readers, and exclude the personal identification of the user.

Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and in most cases cannot personally identify users.

Deleting or blocking cookies can be done at any time by changing the browser settings, most of them saving them implicitly. Also, the user can be informed every time Cookies are sent to their terminal.

Why do we use cookies and what does browsing without cookies mean? We use cookies to offer users the most efficient web browsing, and refusing and deactivating them can stop the use of certain sites. Blocking them does not mean that users will no longer receive advertising, but simply that it will be delivered without taking into account the user’s behavior. Examples of common uses of cookies are content adapted to the user’s preferences, retaining child protection filters regarding internet content, limiting the frequency of ad broadcasts, and more.

Are cookies viruses? No, they use plain text formats, do not contain pieces of code, and cannot self-run or be executed, which is why they cannot be viruses. They can be used for negative purposes, as a form of spyware, but most anti-spyware products try to counteract this by marking cookies to be deleted during anti-virus – anti-spyware procedures. Attackers or unauthorized persons can intervene in the data transmission process if the browser connects to the server through an unsecured wifi network.
