WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a small text file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) which is sent by a server to a browser, and stored by the latter. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page. Cookies are used to enable web pages to function more efficiently and to provide statistical information to the website owner. Cookies are also used to distinguish users for a personalized experience.

The term “cookie” is most commonly used, but “cookies” actually describe a range of devices, such as :

• pixel tags
• mobile device identifiers
• storage used in desktop software or mobile devices

Where we refer to “cookies” in this policy, we include all of these devices.

There are different categories of cookies, including :

Session cookies and persistent cookies

• Session cookies - are cookies that expire when you close your web browser
• Persistent cookies - are cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them

First- and third-party cookies

• First-party cookies - these are cookies set by the website you are currently visiting. They are set either by us or by a third party at our request,
• Third-party cookies - these are cookies set by a party other than the website you are visiting. If you visit the Protectas website or use Protectas services and another party sets a cookie through this website, it is a third-party cookie.
