INTRODUCTION

This Cookie Policy applies to all users of this website. The following information is intended to inform users of this website about the placement, use, and management of cookies in the context of browsing this website.

We use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and/or similar technologies through which information can be collected automatically.

Cookies are used to provide users of this website with a better browsing experience and services tailored to the needs and interests of individual users, namely for:

  • improving the usability of this website, including by identifying any errors that occur while users are visiting/using it;
  • providing anonymous statistics on how this website is used to Softelligence SRL (“Softelligence,” “we,” “us,” “our”) as the owner of this website;
  • anticipating possible future services/goods that may be provided/made available to users through this website, depending on the services/products being accessed.

Cookies provide Softelligence with valuable feedback on how this website is used so that measures can be taken to improve the efficiency and accessibility of this website for its users. Sometimes, the use of cookies also allows the storage of specific settings/preferences set by the users of this website, such as, the language in which a web page is viewed.

  1. WHAT COOKIES ARE?

An “Internet Cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie,” or “HTTP cookie,” or “cookie”) is a small file of letters and numbers that will be stored on a user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment through which the internet or a specific webpage is accessed.

Cookies are installed by request from a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari). Once installed, cookies have a fixed lifetime and remain “passive” in the sense that they do not contain software, viruses, or spyware and will not access information on the hard drive of the user on whose equipment they are installed. Most cookie consists of two parts: (i) the name and (ii) the content or value of the cookie. Technically, only the webserver that sent the cookie can re-access it when a user returns to the web page associated with that webserver.

There are the following categories of cookies:

  • Session Cookies – A “session cookie” is a cookie that is automatically deleted when the user closes their browser.
  • Persistent Cookies – A “persistent cookie” is a cookie that remains stored on the user’s terminal until it reaches a certain expiration date (which may be minutes, days, or years in the future).
  1. WHAT IS THE LIFESPAN OF A COOKIE?

 Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifetime of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are only used for a single session (i.e., session cookies) and are no longer retained once the user leaves the website. Some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that web page (i.e., persistent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time via their browser settings.

 

  1. WHAT ARE OWN COOKIES vs COOKIES PLACED BY THIRD PARTIES?

Cookies can generally be installed by the controller of the accessed website’s “own cookies” or by other websites’ “third-party cookies.” This Cookie Policy does not cover the use of cookies by such third parties and for more information regarding those cookies, please check the cookie and privacy policies of the third parties. Third-party cookie providers must also comply with this website’s data protection rules and privacy policy. These cookies may come from the following third parties: Google, Facebook, Leadfeeder or YouTube.
