  1. What are cookies?

We use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and similar technologies through which information can be collected automatically. An “Internet Cookie” is a small file made up of letters and numbers that will be stored on a user’s computer, mobile terminal or other equipment through which the Internet is accessed. These files make it possible to recognize the user’s terminal and present content in a relevant way, tailored to the user’s preferences.

Cookies are installed by a request issued by a web-server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.). Cookies, once installed, have a fixed lifetime and remain “passive” in the sense that they do not contain any software programs, viruses or spyware and will not access the information on the hard drive of the user on whose computer they are installed. A cookie consists of two parts: the name of the cookie and the content or value of the cookie. From a technical point of view, only the web-server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the web page associated with that web-server.

3. Advantages of cookies

A cookie contains information that links a web-browser (the user) to a specific webserver (the website). If a browser accesses that web-server again, it can read the information already stored and react accordingly. Cookies provide website users with a pleasant browsing experience and support the efforts of many websites to provide convenient services to users: e.g. online privacy preferences, site language options, shopping cart or relevant advertising.

There are the following categories of cookies that determine their lifetime:

  • Session cookies – A “session cookie” is a cookie that is automatically stressed when the user closes their browser.

User analytics cookies – these cookies inform us whether a particular website user has visited/used this website before.  Your browser will tell us if you have this cookie and if not, we will generate one. These cookies are used for statistical purposes only and allow us to track unique users who visit us and how often they do so. As long as you are not registered on this site, this cookie cannot be used to identify individuals, they are used for statistical purposes only. If you are registered we may also know the details you have provided to us, such as your e-mail address and username – these are subject to the privacy and confidentiality provisions of our Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, and the provisions of the current legislation on the protection of personal data.

Cookies for geotargeting – these cookies are used by software that determines the country of origin of the user of the website. It is completely anonymous and is only used to target content. You will receive the same advertisements regardless of the language selected in the Browser, for example: even when you are on our page in English or another language, you receive the same advertisement.

Registration cookies – when you register on this site, we generate a cookie that tells us whether you are registered or not. Our servers use these cookies to tell us which account you are registered with and whether you have permission for a particular service. If you have not selected the “keep me registered” option, this cookie will automatically delete itself when you close your browser or computer.

Advertising cookies – these cookies track a user’s viewing of an online advertisement, the type of advertisement and the time elapsed since the user viewed the advertisement.

We also set anonymous cookies through other sites on which we advertise. By receiving them in this way, we can use them to recognize you as a visitor to that site, and if you subsequently visit our site, we can deliver advertising to you based on that information.

8. Information stored and accessed through cookies

Cookies store information in a small text file that allows the browser to recognize your browser. This web page recognizes your browser until cookies expire or are deleted.

Cookies themselves do not require personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users. Personal data collected through the use of cookies may only be collected to facilitate certain functionality for the user. This data is encrypted in a way that makes it impossible for unauthorized persons to access it.

9. Customizing your browser settings regarding cookies

If the use of cookies is not intrusive and the computer or technical equipment used for browsing this website is used only by you, long expiry periods may be set for storing your browsing history.

In case the computer or technical equipment used for browsing this website is used by several persons, the setting to delete individual browsing data each time the browser is closed can be considered.

10. Security and privacy issues

Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code so they cannot be executed nor can they autorun. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate themselves on other networks to run or replicate themselves again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.

Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about users’ preferences and browsing history, both on a particular site and on many other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and constantly mark cookies for deletion as part of their anti-virus/anti-spyware removal/scanning procedures.

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

11. Tips for safe and responsible browsing based on Cookies

Here are some tips that can make sure you’re surfing worry-free but with cookies:

  • Customize your browser’s 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 your computer, you can set long expiry times for storing your browsing history and personal access data;

If you share access to your computer, you may consider setting your browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is one option to access sites that place cookies and delete any visiting information when you close your browsing session.

Install and constantly update your anti-spyware applications. Many spyware detection and prevention applications include website attack detection. This prevents your browser from accessing websites that might exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software. Make sure you always have your browser updated. Many cookiebased attacks are carried out by exploiting weaknesses in older versions of browsers.

Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy easy, fast and comfortable access to websites. With a clear understanding of how they work and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can confidently browse the internet.
