WHAT ARE COOKIES?

In order to function properly, most websites require the collection of basic user information. To do this, a website will create certain files called Cookies (which are actually small text files created on users’ devices used to navigate on that page). These Cookies are designed to allow the Site to recognize its users and subsequent visits or to authorize other Sites to recognize these users for a specific purpose. For more information about cookies, see www.allaboutcookies.org.

WHAT DO COOKIES PERFORM?

They also aim to ensure that online viewers are more relevant to you and your interests. Moreover, the information collected is anonymous.

WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES EXIST AND WHAT TYPES WE USE? 

The number, name, type, purpose and duration of cookies placed on the Site may vary. We will periodically update our cookie and data processing policy to keep you informed.

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 (the web browser). Fixed cookies include those placed on a website other than the one the user is currently visiting – known as ‘third party cookies’ – which can be used anonymously to store interests to a user, so that advertising is delivered as relevant as possible to users. Fixed files remain on the user’s terminal for a while in the Cookie’s parameters or until they are deleted manually by the user. Parameters of fixed cookies require that they be kept for varying periods of time ranging from 3 months to 2 years.

On our Platform you can find the following cookies that we and third parties use on our website: Cookies Required, Cookie Statistics, Cookie Marketing Modules, and Social Media Cookies.

The necessary cookies help us make the site usable by activating basic features such as page navigation and access to secure sites on the website. It can not function properly without these cookies.

Statistical cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting and reporting information anonymously.

Marketing cookies are used to track users from one site to another. The intent is to display relevant and engaging ads for users.

Measurement, optimization, and analytics features – such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed, and how a user reaches a website (e.g., through search engines, directly from other websites etc.). The websites run these analyses of their use to improve the Sites for the benefit of the users.

DO WE HAVE THIRD PARTY COOKIES OR PLUG INS ON OUR PLATFORM?

We have cookies from third parties, which are used for the purposes detailed in the table above. Google Analytics gets information about our website visitors. You can get more information by visiting: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245.

Google has adhered to Privacy Shield, which provides an adequate level of data protection for data processing by Google in the United States.

You may at any time withdraw consent to the use of web analytics by downloading and installing the Google Plugin for the browser, which will set a cookie to renounce or select the relevant setting in the browser software. Both options will prevent the use of web analytics only if you use the browser that you installed the plugin and if you do not delete the waiver cookie.

Third-party Plug-ins:

Our platform also uses a third-party plug-in as a distribution button for Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LInkedIN. With this sharing button you can share our clips on the third party platform, provided you are connected to these third parties. These third parties could link the interaction between our platform and the account. Therefore, we invite you to read the privacy policies of these third parties before clicking on the distribution button.

DO COOKIES COLLECT PERSONAL DATA?

Cookies themselves do not require personal data 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 user functions. Thus, data is encrypted in a way that makes unauthorized persons unavailable access to them.

DELETING COOKIES

Generally, an application used to access web pages allows you to save cookies to the terminal by default. These settings can be changed so that automatic cookie administration is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed whenever Cookies are sent to his or her terminal. Detailed information about the possibilities and ways of managing cookies can be found in the application settings area (the web browser). Restricting the use of Cookies may affect certain features of the web page.

SECURITY AND PROBLEMS REGARDING CONFIDENTIALITY

Cookies use text-only formats and are not made up of pieces of code, which is why they cannot be executed or can run automatically. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate again.

Generally, browsers have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of Cookie acceptance, shelf life, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular Site.

Other Security Issues Related to Cookies:

Because identity protection is very valuable and is the right of every Internet user, it is advisable to know what issues the Cookies can create. In order to transmit constant information in both ways between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes in the data transmission path, the information contained in Cookie can be intercepted.

Other Cookie-based attacks involve bad cookie settings on servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to mislead browsers to send information via unsecured channels. Attackers then use the information for purposes of unauthorized access to certain Sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method of protecting personal information. 

HOW CAN I CONTROL MY COOKIES?

You should keep in mind that any preference settings will be lost if you delete cookies and many features will be aggravated for this reason. We do not recommend doing this when using the Site. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can change your browser settings to delete or prevent automatic acceptance of Cookies.
