Detailed Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

A cookie is a harmless text file that is stored in your browser when you visit almost any website. The purpose of the cookie is to allow the website to remember your visit when you return to that page. Although many people are unaware of this, cookies have been in use for 20 years, since the first World Wide Web browsers appeared.

What is NOT a cookie?

It is not a virus, a Trojan, a worm, spam, or spyware, nor does it open pop-up windows.

What information does a cookie store?

Cookies do not usually store sensitive information about you, such as credit card or bank details, photographs, your ID number or personal information, etc. The data they keep is of a technical nature, personal preferences, personalization of content, etc.

The web server does not associate you with a person, but rather with your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and try browsing the same website with Firefox or Chrome, you will see that the website does not realize you are the same person because it is actually associating the browser, not the person.

• Analysis Cookies: These collect information about the type of browsing being carried out, the sections most frequently used, products viewed, time of use, language preferences, etc.
