We use “cookies” on our website. These are files that store information in your web browser. This requires your consent.
We use cookies in accordance with Act C of 2003 on Electronic Communications, Act CVIII of 2001 on Certain Issues of Electronic Commerce Services and Information Society Services, and European Union regulations.
Websites operating within European Union countries are required to obtain user consent for the use of cookies and for storing them on the user’s computer or other device.
This policy applies to the cookies of the website associated with the domain name.
Cookies are small files containing letters and numbers. A “cookie” serves as a means of exchanging information between the web server and the user’s browser. These data files are not executable, do not contain spyware or viruses, and cannot access the contents of the user’s hard drive.
Information transmitted by cookies makes it easier to recognize internet browsers, ensuring that users receive relevant and “personalized” content. Cookies enhance the browsing experience by addressing needs related to online data security and delivering relevant advertisements. Cookies also enable website operators to compile anonymous statistics regarding visitor habits; site editors can use this data to further tailor the site’s appearance and content.
Websites can use two types of cookies:
These are essential for navigating the website and for the functioning of its features. Without accepting them, the website—or parts of it—may not display correctly or at all.
These help us distinguish between website visitors and gather data on how they behave on the site. For instance, these cookies ensure that the website remembers your login details when requested. They do not collect information that can identify you personally; the data is stored in an aggregated and anonymous form (e.g., Google Analytics).
The purpose of these cookies is to enhance the user experience. For instance, they detect and store the device used to access the website, as well as data you have previously provided and requested to be saved—such as automatic login details, your language preference, and any user-defined changes to text size, font, or other customizable elements of the site. These cookies do not track your activity on other websites. However, the information they collect may include personal identification data that you have shared.
These enable websites to provide information (marketing) that best matches your interests. Your explicit consent is required for this. These cookies collect detailed information about your browsing habits.
Most cookies do not contain personal information and cannot be used to identify users. The stored data are necessary for a more convenient browsing experience and are stored in a way that prevents unauthorized access.
The role of cookies is to make browsing more convenient for users by tailoring advertisements and content based on browsing history. Disabling or restricting cookies may render some websites unusable. However, disabling or restricting cookies does not mean that users will not see any advertisements; it simply means that the ads and content displayed will not be “
personalized —that is, they will not be tailored to the user’s specific needs and interests. Here are some examples of how cookies are used:
Cookies are not viruses or spyware. Since they are simple text files, they cannot be executed and thus cannot be considered programs. However, it is possible for information to be hidden within a cookie with malicious intent, allowing it to function as spyware. Consequently, antivirus and anti-malware programs may flag cookies for deletion.
Since the device used for web browsing and web servers communicate continuously—exchanging data back and forth—an attacker (hacker) intervening in this process can extract information stored in cookies. One possible cause is, for instance, improperly encrypted internet (Wi-Fi) settings; by exploiting this vulnerability, they can extract data from the cookies.
Cookies can be deleted or disabled in the browser software being used. Browsers allow the placement of cookies by default. This setting can be changed—and existing cookies deleted—via the browser’s settings. Additionally, the browser can be configured to notify the user whenever a cookie is sent to the device. However, it is important to emphasize that disabling or restricting these files may impair the browsing experience and could lead to malfunctions in the website’s functionality.
