Use of Cookies

A cookie is a small, anonymous, user-specific text file that is stored in the user's web browser. The cookie contains a unique identifier that can be used to recognize the web browser visiting the site (e.g., when the user returns to a previously visited site). The cookie can only be accessed by the server that stored it and does not cause any harm to the user's device. A cookie alone cannot personally identify the user.

We collect information through cookies about how and when our website is used, such as the referring page, browsing history on our site, the user's browser, screen resolution, device operating system and version, and IP address.

Cookies are generally categorized as session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies expire when the user closes the web service, while persistent cookies remain in the browser for a certain period or until the user removes them. Cookies facilitate website usage and enable certain functionalities, such as remembering sessions, personalized site content, and easy authentication to services.

First-party cookies are set by the site visible in the address bar. In addition to these, our services use third-party cookies, such as advertising networks, measurement and tracking service providers, advertising technology vendors, and social media services.

Purposes

We use cookies to enable the functionalities of our services, analyze website usage and optimize user experience, support product development and reporting, and target advertising. Cookies make it easier for users to use our services, and the displayed ads are more relevant and tailored to the user's probable interests. The information collected from the website is used to create target groups within Fonecta's network and expand existing target audiences using Look-a-like modeling. Target audience information may be shared with third parties who want to provide users with advertising that is likely to be of interest. These third parties may combine target group information describing users of sites belonging to Fonecta's advertising network with their own data to purchase ad space on the site visited by users interested in the advertiser's products or services.
