This website may use both its own cookies and cookies from third parties to provide visitors with a much better browsing experience and services tailored to their needs and interests. Because we respect your right to privacy, you can opt to block certain types of cookies from this website. Cookies are important for facilitating the access and delivery of the many services that the user enjoys on the Internet, such as: personalization of certain settings such as: the language in which a site is viewed, the currency in which certain prices or rates are expressed, saving certain preferences for future reuse. Cookies provide site owners with valuable feedback on how their sites are being used by users, so they can make them even more efficient and user-friendly. They allow multimedia or other applications from other sites to be included on a site to create a more valuable, useful and enjoyable browsing experience. Improve the efficiency of online advertising.

What are Cookies?

A 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 from which the Internet is accessed. The cookie is installed by a request issued by a web-server to a browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox) and is completely "passive" (it does not contain any software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user's hard drive). A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and the content or value of the cookie. Furthermore, the lifetime of a cookie is determined; technically, only the webserver that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that webserver.

Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.

There are 2 broad categories of cookies:

Session cookies - these are stored temporarily in the cookie folder of the web browser so that the browser remembers them until the user closes the browser window or leaves the website.

Persistent Cookies - These are stored on the hard-drive of a computer or device (and generally depend on the cookie's default lifetime).

Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one the user is currently visiting - known as 'third party cookies' - which can be used anonymously to remember a user's preferences.

What are the advantages of cookies?

A cookie contains information that links a web-browser (the user) to a specific web-server (the website). If a browser accesses that web-server again, it can read the information already stored and react accordingly. Cookies provide 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 carts or relevant advertising.

What is the lifetime of a cookie?

Cookies are managed by webservers. The lifetime of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are used exclusively for a single session (session cookies) and are no longer retained once the user has left the website and some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website (persistent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time through browser settings.

What are third-party cookies?

Certain sections of content on some websites may be provided through third parties/providers (e.g. a video, an advertisement, a chat application, etc). These third parties may also place cookies through the website and they are called "third party cookies" because they are not placed by the owner of that website. Third party providers must also comply with applicable law and the privacy policies of the website owner.

How cookies are used by this website

Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support our efforts to provide convenient services to users through features such as online privacy preferences, shopping cart or relevant advertising. They are also used in the preparation of anonymous aggregated statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content, while excluding the user's personal identification.

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

Essential cookies
Performance cookies
Social media and advertising cookies
Some cookies, such as performance cookies or social media and advertising cookies, may come from third parties.

What information is stored and accessed through cookies?

Cookies store information in a small text file that allows a website to recognize a browser. The Webserver will recognize the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted. The cookie stores important information that enhances the Internet browsing experience (e.g. keeping a user logged into their user account; keeping products in the shopping cart; keeping products in the Favorites list).

Why are cookies important for the Internet?

Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Rejecting or disabling cookies may interfere with your use of a website. Rejecting or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising - it just means that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests as evidenced by your browsing behavior.

Security and privacy issues

Cookies use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code so they cannot be executed nor can they self-run. Consequently, they cannot be duplicated or replicated on other networks to run or replicate themselves again. 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.

Browsers generally 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. Other security issues related to cookies Since identity protection is very valuable and is the right of every Internet user, it is advisable to be aware of the possible problems that cookies can create. Because cookies constantly transmit information back and forth between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes in the data transmission, the information contained in the cookie may be intercepted. Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (e.g. an unsecured WiFi network). 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 trick browsers into sending information over unsecure channels. Attackers then use the information to gain unauthorized access to certain websites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate way to protect your 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 unavoidable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user to access the most popular and widely used sites including Youtube, Gmail, Facebook, Yahoo and others. Here are a few tips that can ensure that you can surf worry-free but with cookies:

Customize your browser's cookie settings to reflect a level of cookie security that you are comfortable with. If you don't mind cookies and you are the only person using your computer, you can set long expiration 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 erase any visiting information when you close your browsing session. Install anti-spyware applications and update them regularly.

Many spyware detection and prevention applications include website attack detection. This prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software. Make sure your browser is always up-to-date. Many cookie-based attacks exploit weaknesses in older versions of browsers.

Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the most popular sites on the Internet. With a clear understanding of how they work and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can surf the Internet with confidence.

How can I stop cookies?

You can configure your browser to stop accepting cookies or you can configure your browser to accept cookies only from a specific website. All modern browsers offer the possibility to configure cookie storage preferences. These settings are usually found in the "options" or "preferences" menu of your browser. To understand these settings, you can use your browser's "help" option for more details.
