What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files generated by the web pages the User visits, which contain session data that may be useful later on the website. The data allows the website to maintain information across pages and also to analyze how users interact with the site.
Cookies are safe because they can only store the information placed there by the browser, the information the User has entered into the browser, or what is included in the page request. They cannot execute code and cannot be used to access the User’s device.
Cookies are essential for the functioning of the Internet, providing countless advantages in delivering interactive services, facilitating navigation and usability of web pages.
Cookies cannot harm devices, and having them enabled helps identify and resolve errors.
Information collected through cookies may include the date and time of visits to the Website, pages viewed, time spent on the Website, and the sites visited immediately before and after it. However, no cookie allows contact with the User’s phone number or any other personal contact information. No cookie can extract information from the User’s hard drive or steal personal information. The only way private User information becomes part of the Cookie file is if the User personally provides that information to the server.
Cookies that can identify a person are considered personal data. Therefore, the previously described Privacy Policy will apply to them. In this regard, their use requires the User’s consent. This consent will be communicated based on a genuine choice, offered through an affirmative and positive decision, prior to initial processing, revocable, and documented.
What are scripts?
