What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, which will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal or other equipment of a user from which the internet is accessed. The cookie is installed by a request issued by a web server to a browser (ex: Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely "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?

These files make it possible to recognize the user's terminal and present the content in a relevant way, adapted to the user's preferences. Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support our efforts to offer comfortable services to users: ex: – online privacy preferences, shopping cart or relevant advertising. They are also used in the preparation of aggregated anonymous statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content, excluding personal identification of the user.

What cookies do we use?

We use two types of cookies: per session and fixed. The latter are temporary files that remain in the user's terminal until the end of the session or the closing of the application (web browser). Fixed files remain on the user's terminal for a period within the cookie parameters or until they are manually deleted by the user.

How are cookies used by this site?

A visit to this site may place the following types of cookies:

Strictly necessary cookies
Site performance cookies
Visitor analysis cookies
Geotargeting cookies
Registration cookies
Advertising cookies
Advertising provider cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the website. These cookies do not require your prior consent to be downloaded to your device. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but in this case certain sections of the website will not work correctly.

Do cookies contain personal data?

Cookies themselves do not request personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users. Personal data collected through the use of cookies can only be collected to facilitate certain functionalities for the user. Such data is encrypted in a way that makes it impossible for unauthorized persons to access it.

Deleting cookies

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 every time cookies are sent to their 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 web page.

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 or self-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate again. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses. Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about user preferences and browsing history, both on a specific site and on several other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and constantly mark cookies to be deleted during anti-virus/anti-spyware deletion/scanning procedures.

In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a certain site. Other security aspects related to cookies: Because identity protection is very valuable and represents the right of every internet user, it is advisable to know what 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 in the data transmission path, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted. Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (ex: an unsecured WiFi network). Other cookie-based attacks involve incorrect cookie settings on servers. If a website does not request the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. Attackers then use the information to gain unauthorized access to certain websites. It is very important to choose the most appropriate method of protecting personal information.

Tips for safe and responsible browsing, based on cookies

Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest sites use cookies, they are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user access to the most widespread and used sites including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.

Here are some tips that can ensure you browse without worries but with the help of cookies:

Customize your browser settings regarding cookies to reflect a comfortable level of cookie usage security for you.
If you are not bothered by cookies and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration terms for storing browsing history and personal access data.
If you share computer access, you can consider setting the browser to delete individual browsing data every time you close the browser. This is an option to access sites that place cookies and delete any visit information when closing the browsing session.
Install and constantly update anti-spyware applications.
Spyware detection and prevention applications include detecting attacks on sites. Thus, it prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software. Make sure your browser is always updated.

Cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting weaknesses in old versions of browsers. Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and largest sites on the Internet – local or international. With a clear understanding of how they work and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can browse the internet with confidence.

Disabling and refusing to receive cookies can make certain sites impractical or difficult to visit and use. Also, refusing to accept cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive/see online advertising. It is possible to set the browser so that these cookies are no longer accepted or you can set the browser to accept cookies from a specific site. But, for example, if you are not registered using cookies, you will not be able to leave comments. All modern browsers offer the possibility to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the "options" or "preferences" menu of your browser.
