Cookies are short text files created by a web server and stored on your computer through your browser. When you return to the same website later, the browser sends the saved cookie back, and the server retrieves all the information it previously stored on you. Most websites use cookies for their operation.
Cookies can be classified based on who places them on your website:
1. First-party cookies – Their validity is limited to the domain of the website you are viewing. These cookies are considered safer.
2. Third-party cookies – These are placed via a script from another domain. This allows users to be tracked across domains.
They are often used to evaluate the effectiveness of advertising channels.
Based on their lifespan, cookies can be divided into:
1. Session cookies – These are deleted from your computer when you close the browser.
2. Persistent cookies – These remain stored even after the browser is closed and are only deleted after a very long period
(depending on your browser settings and the cookie settings). You can also manually delete them.
Based on their purpose, we can categorize cookies as follows:
1. Technical – Enable basic website functions (e.g., login or purchase). These cookies are essential for the operation of our
website and are placed without your consent.
2. Functional – Cookies that, for example, allow the site to remember the user’s language or region. These cookies contribute
to the proper functioning of the website and do not track user activity. We consider functional cookies essential and place them
on the website without your consent.
3. Analytical – Used to collect non-anonymous data about user behavior. Based on this, we can adjust the website to be more user-friendly.
These can be enabled as "Analytical cookies" in the settings.
4. Marketing – Used to target ads to users who have already visited our website. These can be enabled as "Marketing cookies" in the settings.
5. Conversion – These help us evaluate the success of campaigns. These can be enabled as "Analytical cookies" in the settings.
6. Personalization – Various tools help us personalize content – adjusting the website based on what you've viewed. Similarly,
tools help adjust search results based on other users’ searches. These can be enabled as "Preference cookies" in the settings.
