3. WHAT COOKIES ARE
3.1. A cookie is a small text file that a Website sends to the Website Visitor’s web browser when the Website Visitor visits the Website and stores it on the device that the Website Visitor is using. For this reason, the Website may "remember" the Website Visitor’s actions and options, such as registration name, language, font size, and other display options, for a certain period of time so that the Website Visitor does not have to re-enter them each time they visit the Website.
3.2. The websites use their own/first-party and/or third-party cookies. According to the function they perform, the cookies are classified into:
3.2.1. Required cookies. These cookies activate the basic browsing or access functions of the website. Without these cookies, the website will not work properly.
3.2.2. Functional or technical cookies. These cookies help personalize the website by remembering the visitor’s preferences and settings, such as their language choice or their geographic region.
3.2.3. Statistical or analytic cookies. These cookies collect anonymous information and provide reports from which the website manager can learn how visitors use the website.
3.2.4. Marketing or advertising cookies. These cookies are used to track visitors on many websites to serve advertising that are tailored to them. They also limit the number of advertisings displayed and help evaluate the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These are mostly cookies from the third-party advertisers.
3.3. Cookies are divided into session and persistent cookies according to their validity period.
3.4. In terms of the location of their creation, there are two types of cookies:
3.4.1. First-party or own cookies - they are created on the website that visitors are visiting.
3.4.2. Third-party cookies - they are created by other websites. As a rule, these websites own and include certain content, such as ads or images, that appear on the website the visitors are visiting.
3.5. Trackers and digital fingerprinting are more sophisticated technologies that work without cookies (files stored on the user's device). For example, when a webpage uses tracking pixels/tags, a 1-pixel "image" is loaded each time a user accesses a particular webpage element, so that the server learns that a particular user with a specific IP address was in that webpage element, and that information is stored on the server. If the user does not consent to the collection of personal data, such elements of the website are disabled immediately. Digital IDs are highly accurate, generated by a user’s smart device, and unique IDs allow the same user to be identified at any time later.
3.6. Web beacons, uXDT, or ultrasonic tracking technology work in such a way that when a website is visited, the computer generates an ultrasonic signal that is inaudible to humans but received by other smart devices running a certain app at the same time. The use of this technology requires a data protection impact assessment.
