Cookies are at the heart of the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to the preferences and interests of each user.

Refusing or disabling cookies may make some sites impossible to use.

Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising, but only that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests highlighted by your browsing behavior.

Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require the authentication of a user through an account):
- Content and services adapted to the user's preferences — categories of products and services;
- Offers tailored to the interests of users — retention of passwords;
- Retaining child protection filters on Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions);
- Limiting the frequency of advertising — limiting the number of impressions of an advertisement for a particular user on a site;
- Providing relevant advertising to users;
- Measurement, optimization and analytics features — for example confirming a certain level of traffic to a website, what type of content is viewed and how a user reaches a website (e.g. through search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.). Websites perform these analyses of their usage in order to improve the websites for the benefit of users.

Cookies themselves do not require personal data to be used by the Operator on their own behalf and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users. Personal data processed through the use of Cookies can only be collected to facilitate certain functionalities for the user. Thus, the data is encrypted in a way that makes it impossible for unauthorized persons to access it.

In general, an application used to access web pages allows cookies to be saved on the terminal by default. These settings can be changed so that the automatic administration of Cookies is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed each time Cookies are sent to his terminal. Detailed information about the possibilities and ways of managing Cookies can be found in the settings area of the application (web browser). Limiting the use of Cookies may affect certain functionalities of the website.

Cookies use text-only formats and do not consist of pieces of code, which is why they cannot be executed or self-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate again.

In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of acceptance of Cookies, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular Site.

Since identity protection is very valuable and represents the right of every Internet user, it is advisable to know what possible problems Cookies can create. Because through them, information is constantly transmitted in both directions between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes during the transmission of data, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted.

Other cookie-based attacks involve incorrect cookie settings on servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to mislead browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. Attackers then use the information for unauthorized access to certain Sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method of protecting personal information.

You should bear in mind that any preference settings will be lost if you delete Cookies and many functionalities will be hampered for this reason. We do not recommend that you do this when using the site. Most browsers automatically accept Cookies, but you can change your browser settings to delete or prevent the automatic acceptance of Cookies.
