Cookie Policy
What is a cookie?
Some people refer to cookies as Internet cookies, browser cookies or HTTP cookies. These are several names for one and the same technology, popularly called a cookie.
A cookie is a small fragment of text (letters and numbers) that will be stored on a user's computer, mobile devices or other equipment from which Intelligent IT sites are accessed. Cookies are made up of two parts: their name and their content (or value).
What are cookies used for?
With the help of cookies, sites retain information about users' visits, such as: preferred language, username and password (so that re-registration is not necessary on each visit to the site - only if the user opts for this option), the type of device used (computer, mobile phone, etc.) to access the site or the services or products that the user has viewed/added to the virtual shopping cart (if applicable). Cookies make it possible to simplify the browsing experience on a website, and website owners have the opportunity to provide more relevant information to users, depending on their needs.
Cookies help the Internet to function efficiently and result in friendly, efficient and personalized browsing for each user. Without them, websites on the Internet would be much more unpleasant or boring and would not be able to effectively respond to users' needs.
Furthermore, cookies help website owners to continuously develop them. Cookies can obtain valuable information about how the website is used by visitors, so that they can provide them with increasingly better browsing experiences.
What are the main types of cookies?
There are cookies that are deleted as soon as you close your Internet browser (these are also called session cookies) and cookies that are stored on your device for the purpose of being used even for your next visits to the site (these are also called persistent cookies although, despite the name, they expire after a period of time). Persistent cookies are reactivated when you visit the site that placed them on your device again.
Depending on the person who places them on your device, there are first-party cookies (which we place on your device) or cookies placed by other people (these are also called third-party cookies).
How long does a cookie last?
The lifespan of cookies depends greatly on each case, depending on the purpose of each cookie.
As mentioned above, some cookies are used only for a single browsing session, while others persist for a set period of time after you leave the site to facilitate the user's interaction with the website.
Regardless of the type of cookies, you can always delete or disable them.
Are cookies dangerous for my device?
Cookies are harmless. They do not contain programs, viruses or other harmful files and cannot access information on the user's device. Since cookies are installed by requesting an Internet browser (its webserver), only the webserver that sent them can access them again when the user returns to the site associated with that webserver.
However, cookies can be used for negative purposes, as a form of spyware. Many anti-spyware products, however, mark cookies for deletion as part of their anti-virus/antispyware removal/scanning procedures.
Generally, browsers have privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a website.
Is my consent required for cookies?
You do not need to give your express consent to the use of cookies on this website except when it comes to cookies that (i) are not essential for the functioning of the website and (ii) are not strictly necessary to provide you with access to the requested service (option) on the website.
Do cookies have anything to do with my personal data?
Some cookies collect anonymous information, which does not say anything about you. Others collect information that can identify you, for example, your IP address or preferences for certain products.
Okay. But does the website I am on use cookies?
Every website uses cookies. Without them, the Internet would probably not be what it is today.
In short, our platform uses its own and third-party cookies to provide visitors with a superior browsing experience and pleasant, useful services tailored to their specific needs.
What are the specific purposes for which the website uses cookies?
We may use the following categories of cookies on this site:
Essential cookies

Social media cookies
Audience/performance/monitoring cookies
