This helps us ensure better user experience, improve our services and personalize the ads and contents that are displayed for you while you browse through our website.

Depending on the domain which places them, cookies may be first-party cookies or third-party cookies.

  1. First-party cookies – placed by the domain of the website which a user is currently visiting (for example, cookies places by our website’s domain)
  2. Third-party cookies – placed by a domain other than the one of the website which a user is currently visiting; thus, if a user is visiting a page on a particular website and a separate entity places a cookie through that page, this would be a third-party cookie

1.2. Persistent and session cookies

Cookies are subdivided into persistent and session cookies depending on whether they are kept on a user’s device or only on a web browser during a given session.

  1. Persistent cookies – remain on a user’s device for a certain period of time, specified in a given cookie itself. They are activated each time that the user visits the website which placed them.
  2. Session cookies – enable webmasters to link a user’s actions during a given session on a web browser. Each browser session starts when the user opens a browser window and ends when he or she closes that browser window. Session cookies are created on a temporary basis. Once the web browser is closed, all session cookies are deleted.
