Cookies are used to optimize the project and provide the full range of functions. These are small files consisting of letters and numbers. They are installed on the device involved. Cookies are responsible for the transmission of certain information.

 What are cookies

A similar technology (cookie) is a small group of files that are stored on a computer or mobile gadget. They allow the project to remember the actions and preferences of visitors on the Internet. This is really important, since such information can improve the performance of the resource.

The action set is saved for a certain period, so you do not need to re-enter this information.

 Cookie classification

Specialists divide all existing files into several separate categories. The main ones include:

  1. Required. These files are necessary, as they ensure the full operation of the resource. Cookies are responsible for the stable functioning of the project. Blocking these files may result in the inability to register on the site. Some game features may also be missing.
  2. operational files. This set of documents is responsible for collecting information about how users use the site. It should be noted, however, that these cookies do not collect personally identifiable information. All data received is completely anonymous and archived.
  3. Functional. These cookies allow the site to select information that visitors to the resource enter. It is simply impossible to do without such files, as they contribute to improved personalization. In some cases, these cookies may be used to remember changes made. This includes text size, font, and other important information. A characteristic feature of functional cookies is that the information provided can be completely anonymous. Accordingly, the administration of the resource will not be able to identify users and get personal information.
  4. Target. This is an important category responsible for collecting basic information about visiting a resource. This section can also include financial transactions that are carried out by users or other information within the site. The service always reserves the right to transfer this information to third parties. The rules for the transmission of targeted cookies are fully governed by the privacy policy.

These are the main cookies that can be used on the site. Users should also be aware that some functional cookies are classified as session cookies. They transmit information only for a specific session. After leaving the web portal, such files are simply deleted from the device.

The category of persistent cookies is considered the most extensive. They remain on the involved device, and then can be activated again. This happens automatically after going to the site. Files lose their power and significance after a certain time.

 How cookies are used

The resource administration uses cookies only to collect static information. This is the time users spend perusing the information on the page. Technologies are necessary because they allow you to improve the site so that it is convenient and comfortable for visitors to work with it. Almost all browsers provide automatic access to files. Users simply have to select this option in advance.

If you decide to change settings or delete certain files, you will need to study the detailed instructions. However, keep in mind that deletion may affect the future operation of the project and properties. In the process of visiting the site, you must also give your consent to the use of the hosted files.

Cookies are small pieces of textual information. In this case, the site can send information to the hard drive or other devices. The main goal is to collect important data. Cookies allow you to provide site visitors with only important content that meets all preferences. If users decide to clear the files in the browser, then the selected account personalization settings will be deleted. Experts recommend not deleting these files, as they affect the comfort when using the resource.

 Technical necessity

The site administration uses certain categories of cookies, as they are strictly necessary for the full operation of the project. Files are placed on a computer or smartphone completely automatically. All existing cookies are divided into required and optional.

The first category includes files, without which the full operation of the resource is simply impossible. Optional cookies include cookies that are not strictly necessary and will not affect the comfort in the process of visiting the resource. Experts say that from a technical point of view, all files are necessary, as they allow the site to fully adapt to the needs of customers.

 Types of cookies used

Each type of cookie is responsible for its own functions. Some files are available only to the administration, while others can be transferred to third parties. The list of available cookies is presented in the table below:

_cfduid The file is responsible for ensuring security and eliminating possible threats.
fr These cookies are used by Facebook for advertising purposes. The files make it possible to identify user requests and serve up relevant advertisements.
_ga Cookies are only used to distinguish Google Analytics users.

They let Definition of a session in an online chat.
LaUserDetails Definition of the email address that is entered when opening chats.
_hole Throttling query levels for Google Analytics.

This is only the main list of cookies that cannot be transferred to a third party. However, there are also files that are allowed to be transferred. The main ones include:

  1. BVImplain_site – the file is responsible for the functionality and advertising on the project;
  2. Btag_data – tracking site pages with arbitrary information. They are opened automatically when users visit the corresponding page;
  3. FirstTimeLoginVisit – cookies are responsible for determining the display in the future.

This list of files is not exhaustive. There are many more files that can be applied to the project. At the same time, specialists can change some files or add new ones. It all depends on the type of information that needs to be collected in a certain period.

 Cookie retention periods

The retention period may vary and depends only on the type of files used. There are three main categories in total:

  1. Session. Cookies that fall into this category are stored for the duration of one session. After the session ends, the files are deleted automatically or become invalid.
  2. Permanent. Some cookies may be stored for a long period. The long storage period is most often associated with their importance. They allow you to recognize users and set the required parameters. As a result, you can access certain pages much faster and more conveniently. Permanent cookies are deleted automatically after a certain period of time.
  3. Streaming. These files are typically used to communicate with internal servers within a group of companies. They can be hosted on a computer or any other device. The files are deleted after the completion of site navigation. For such files, a unique identification number is built, which allows you to draw certain conclusions.

Please also note that third-party cookies may be used in some cases. They are stored on the site, but used by other organizations. External providers may use these cookies to display and properly customize advertisements.

 Marketing cookies

These cookies are most often set by advertising partners. The files are used to create customized advertisements. They do not collect personally identifiable information, so users may not be afraid to use them. The files are primarily responsible for identifying the browser and the Internet device. Disabling these cookies will not affect the display of advertisements. It will just be less relevant.

As you can see, cookies are small files that perform important tasks. They are stored on the following devices:

  • computer;
  • tablet;
  • mobile phone;
  • and other equipment.

Most often, cookies are used to process personal information. In exceptional cases, they may be used to process data that is used to indirectly identify users. Cookies are considered passive because they do not contain programs or viruses. However, they will not be able to access the information contained on the computer’s hard drive.

The resource administration always reserves the right to change the current policy. The set of cookies used depends on the specific situation.
