1. What are Cookies?
1.1 Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit it.
1.2 The information stored on the User’s computer may contain information such as the pages visited by the User, the date and time of the visit as well as a random and unique identification number of the User. Under no circumstances do cookies contain personal information or information that would allow anyone to contact the website visitor by telephone, e-mail, etc. In addition, by using cookies there is no access to documents or files on your computer.
2. Types of cookies
2.1 Depending on the time they remain stored on your device, cookies are divided into “session cookies” and “persistent cookies”.
“Session cookies” are stored on your device the moment you visit the Website and are automatically deleted after you close your browser (e.g. Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, DuckDuckGo, etc.).
“Persistent cookies” are stored on your device the time you visit the Website and remain stored after you close your browser. The “persistent cookies” will be automatically reactivated when you open your browser and browse the Internet.

First-party cookies are cookies installed by the website visited by the user (in our case they are the cookies installed by our website).
Third-party cookies are cookies set by a website (domain) other than the one visited by the user. If the user visits a website and a different company installs a cookie through that website, that cookie will be a third-party cookie (such as Facebook, LinkedIn and other social networks).
