1. Advertising provider cookies

Much of the advertising you find on this site belongs to third parties. Some of these parties use their own anonymous cookies to analyze how many people have been exposed to an advertising message, or to see how many people have been exposed to the same advertisement more than once.

7. What type of information is stored and accessed through cookies?

Cookies store information in a small text file that allows the browser to be recognized. This website recognizes the browser until the cookies expire or are deleted.

The cookie stores important information that improves the Internet browsing experience (eg: language settings in which a site is accessed; keeping a user logged in to the webmail account; online banking security; keeping products in the shopping cart).

8. Why are Cookies important to the Internet?

Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to each user's preferences and interests. Rejecting or disabling cookies may make some sites unusable.

Rejecting or deactivating cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising - but only that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, highlighted by your browsing behavior.

9. Security and Privacy issues

Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code so they cannot be executed or auto-run. Consequently, they cannot be duplicated or replicated to other networks to run or replicate again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.

Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about users' preferences and browsing history, both on a particular site and across multiple sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and constantly mark cookies for deletion during anti-virus/anti-spyware deletion/scanning procedures. In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a certain site.

10. Tips for safe and responsible browsing based on Cookies

Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest sites use cookies, they are almost unavoidable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user access to the most widespread and used sites including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.

Here are some tips that can ensure that you do not use cookies without worries:

• Customize your browser cookie settings to reflect a comfortable level of cookie security for you.
• If you don't mind cookies and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration periods for storing your browsing history and personal access data.
• If you share computer access, you may consider setting your browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is an option to access sites that place cookies and delete any visit information when you close the browsing session.

Install and constantly update your antispyware applications.

Many spyware detection and prevention applications include detection of site attacks. Thus, it prevents the browser from accessing websites that might exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software. Make sure your browser is always up to date. Many of the cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting the weak points of old versions of browsers.

Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and biggest sites on the Internet - local or international. With a clear understanding of how they work and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can surf the Internet with confidence.

11. How can cookies be turned off?

Users can configure their browser to reject cookies or to accept cookies from a specific web page.

All modern browsers offer the possibility to change cookie settings. These settings can usually be accessed in the "options" section or in the "preferences" menu of your browser.
