1.1 What are Cookies?
It is very important that you understand what cookies are and their purposes so that you can make the best browsing decisions on our websites.
In very simple terms, cookies are small text files containing a unique identification tag placed on your computer by a website. Various information can be stored in this file, such as the pages you visited, your location data, and data you voluntarily provided to the website.
Through cookies, we can recognize your preferences to, for example, provide you with the best products and services that best suit your profile through our advertising inventory. We can also adapt our website to your browsing mode, your profile, and your specific needs.
1.2 What types of Cookies are there?
There are many classifications for Cookies (below, by clicking on the browser links, you can find out more about them), so we will explain the most well-known ones to you:
- Session Cookies: Also known as transient cookies, as they are automatically deleted when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: Also known as permanent cookies. These are cookies that record, for example, user browsing habits. They are stored on your hard drive and remain until they expire or until you delete them.
- Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies created by websites other than the one you are currently on. For example, a news website might have a Facebook “like” button. The code associated with that “like” button creates a cookie that can be read by Facebook. This way, Facebook will “know” that you were interested in that post and have an interest in that type of content. This is considered a third-party cookie.
1.3 Cookies are used for:
- Proper functioning of the website’s technology. Without these essential cookies, it would be impossible to execute some basic features. Therefore, if you wish to visit and browse any website, there is no way to block these cookies.

As already clarified in our Privacy Policy, generating revenue to both maintain the website and fund our technology investments consists primarily of displaying advertisements to you. Therefore, we use cookies to understand how ads are displayed, as well as how our available content, products, and services are being used, and how you and each user behave in relation to each of these mentioned components. We constantly seek to improve your user experience and also refine our marketing abilities.
- Creating long-lasting relationships with our users. We use cookies to understand your preferences and your profile so that we can maximize the personalization of your browsing experience and maintain our relationship.
