2. What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, which will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal, or other equipment of a user from which the internet is accessed. The cookie is installed through a request issued by the user's terminal to a REFURBINI server or to a third-party server.

3. What are cookies used for?

These files primarily enable the recognition of the user's terminal and the presentation of content in a relevant manner, adapted to the user's preferences. Cookies provide users with a pleasant Browse experience and support REFURBINI's efforts to offer services better adapted to users, e.g.: – preferences regarding online privacy, shopping cart, or relevant advertising. They are also used in the preparation of aggregated anonymous statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content, without allowing personal identification of the user.

4. What cookies do we use?

We use two types of cookies: per session and persistent. Session cookies are temporary files that remain in the user's terminal until the end of the session or the closing of the application. Persistent cookies remain on the user's terminal for a period determined by the cookie's parameters or until they are manually deleted by the user.

Cookies and/or similar technologies strictly necessary are essential for the proper functioning of the site, being set on your device when accessing the site or following actions performed on the site, as applicable. You can set your browser to block cookies, but in this case, certain sections of the site will not function correctly.

6. Do cookies or similar technologies contain personal data?

Cookies or similar technologies themselves do not request personal information to be used and, in many cases, do not personally identify internet users. However, there are situations when personal data may be collected through the use of cookies to facilitate certain functionalities for the user or to offer the user an experience more adapted to their preferences. Such data are encrypted in a way that makes it impossible for unauthorized persons to access them. What are similar technologies?

8. Managing preferences regarding cookie placement

Generally, an application used to access web pages allows the saving of cookies and/or similar technologies on the terminal by default. These settings can be changed so that the automatic administration of cookies is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed each time cookies are sent to their terminal. Detailed information about the possibilities and ways of managing cookies can be found in the settings area of the application (web browser). Limiting the use of cookies may affect certain functionalities of the website.

9. Why are cookies and/or similar technologies important for the Internet?

Cookies and/or similar technologies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly Browse experience adapted to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies can make some sites or parts of sites impossible to use. Disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising, in compliance with legislation – it just means that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, highlighted by your Browse behavior. Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require user authentication through an account):
Content and services adapted to user preferences – product and service categories.
Offers adapted to user interests
Password retention
Retention of child protection filters regarding Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).
Limiting ad frequency – limiting the number of times an ad is displayed for a particular user on a site. 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 reaches a website (e.g., through search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.). Websites perform these analyses of their usage to improve their services for the benefit of users.

10. Security and privacy aspects

Browsers generally have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a certain site.
Other security aspects related to cookies:
• Customize your browser settings regarding cookies to reflect a comfortable level of security for your use of cookies.
• If you are the only person using the computer, you can set, if desired, long expiration terms for storing Browse history and personal access data.
• If you share computer access, you can consider setting the browser to delete individual Browse data each time you close the browser. This is an option to access sites that place cookies and delete any visit information when closing the Browse session.
