Cookies
A cookie is a file that contains information about the Internet user's behavior. This means that it retains certain preferences of the Internet user, for example, the selected language. Technically, a cookie is created by the server of the visited website, but is stored on the user's computer system (hard drive).
Some cookies are necessary for the functioning of the sites or chains. Others are used automatically by the platforms themselves to compile statistics to improve your user experience. To do this, we store certain preferences so that, for example, you do not have to specify your language each time you visit. There are different types of cookies, depending on the type of platform you choose.
Cookies are stored on your computer's hard drive for up to 12 months. The cookies used do not identify you as a person. In fact, information related to cookies cannot be associated with a last name and/or first name, as they do not contain personal data. Only your IP address is recognized, as cookies are stored there.
The following types of cookies are used on the website:
a. "Session cookies" are used only temporarily during a browser session to allow normal system usage. These cookies are deleted from your device as soon as the browser is closed.
b. "Persistent cookies " are only read by the website, stored on your computer for a specified period of time and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Such cookies are used so that we recognize you on a repeat visit. This allows us, for example, to save your settings for the next time you log in.
c. "Third-party cookies" are placed by other online services that run content on the displayed page, for example, external analytics companies that monitor and analyze access to our website.
