What are cookies?
Cookies are small information files stored by the websites you visit on the browser of your device (such as your computer or mobile phone). These files help the website remember information about your visit, streamlining your next visit by storing your actions and preferences for a certain period, including your username, preferred language, and other settings.
Cookies can be classified based on several criteria.
Based on their purpose, cookies can be:
(a) Strictly necessary cookies – These are essential for the functioning of the website and/or the availability of specific features requested by the user, as well as for storing browsing preferences.
(b) Personalization cookies – These are not necessary for website functionality but enhance performance by customizing the user’s browsing experience. Some may transfer data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
(c) Analytics cookies – These collect statistical information to help website owners analyze usage and understand visitor engagement. They may also be used in conjunction with advertising cookies to quantify interactions with presented advertisements. Some may transfer data outside the EEA.
(d) Advertising cookies – These aim to make advertising more relevant to users and advertisers by delivering pertinent ads and improving campaign performance reporting. Some may transfer data outside the EEA.
Considering their life cycle, cookies can be classified as:
(a) Session cookies – Provisional cookies that are deleted shortly after the user closes the browser or application used to browse the Digital Channels. They help analyze traffic patterns and improve security and user experience.
(b) Persistent cookies – These remain on the user’s device after the browser is closed and are used for customizing the browsing experience during subsequent visits.
Considering the party that places them, cookies can be classified as:
(a) First-party cookies – Sent to the user’s device from equipment or domains managed by LEVOLK LTD, providing the requested service.
(b) Third-party cookies – Sent to the user’s device from a third-party domain over which LEVOLK LTD has no control. These may include data processing and transferring outside the EEA, and LEVOLK LTD may not be able to configure or prevent this.
Where certain cookie categories may involve data transfer to countries outside the EEA, such as the United States, please note that some of these countries do not have an European Commission adequacy decision and may not offer a level of protection equivalent to that in the European Union. For more information about data transfer arising from these cookies, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
