Cookies and/or similar technologies are a central part of the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to create a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some websites or parts of websites impossible to use.

Disabling cookies does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising in accordance with the law – it simply means that the advertising will no longer be tailored to your preferences and interests, as shown by your browsing behavior.

Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require user login through an account):

• Content and services adapted to user preferences – goods and service categories;
• Offers tailored to users interests;
• Remembering passwords;
• Remembering child protection filters regarding online content (family mode options, safe search functions);
• Limiting the frequency of ad display – limiting the number of times an ad is shown to a user on a website;
• Providing relevant advertising to the user;
• Measuring, optimizing, and adapting analysis features – such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed, and how a user arrives at a website (e.g., via search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.).

Websites conduct these analyses regarding their use to improve their services for the benefit of users.

1. Security and privacy aspects

    Other security aspects related to cookies:
