The cookie
The meaning of a cookie: files or pieces of information that your web browser downloads from our website and stores on your device. With the help of these cookies, the server storing the materials of our website can recognize upon your return visit that you have already visited our websites.
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you wish, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are sent to your computer. Our website uses such cookie files to provide certain features or merely for convenience. The cookies we use do not burden, slow down, or damage your computer.
Third-party cookies are also used on the site. Cookies can be deleted and blocked from browsers. Furthermore, cookies can be disabled. You can find information about these settings on the official website of your browser.
What is the purpose of cookies?
We use these technologies for several purposes, such as displaying the most relevant content or advertisements to the User; improving our products and services; and maintaining the security of our services. The exact names of the cookies, pixels, and other similar technologies we use may change from time to time with the development and update of our services.
How is a cookie created?
First, the client machine sends a request to the server. At this point, the server creates a unique identifier and stores it in its own database, then sends the cookie thus created, along with all its information, back to the client. The received informational cookie is then stored on the client machine.
How is a cookie used?
When the client machine reconnects to the server, it attaches the previously created and stored cookie. The server compares the received cookie’s content with what it has stored. In this way, for example, the registered user can be easily identified.
What types of cookies do we use?
There are several types of cookies in use, but each website uses different types. Our website generally only uses the following, but during development it may occur that we apply new types in addition to these.
Session/Temporary cookie:
- these cookies are only temporarily stored in the temporary memory, as long as the user navigates the site. When the user closes the browser, the cookie is deleted. These cookies do not contain personal data and are not suitable for identifying the visitor.
Stored/Persistent cookie:
- these are the cookies that are used every time the user visits the site. Depending on the type of cookie, we can use them as follows:
Analytics/Analysis:
- these show where you have navigated within the website, what products you have viewed, and what you have done. The cookie remains on the client machine depending on its lifetime. Functions such as Google Analytics or YouTube may use such cookies. These cookies do not contain personal data and are not suitable for identifying the visitor.
Social networks:

These functions may be provided by third parties such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, or YouTube. These cookies may contain personal data and are suitable for identifying the visitor.

How are cookies managed?
There are different ways, but the client has several options to set up their browser for cookie management. In general, browsers can be set in the following three ways:
- Accept all cookies
- Reject all cookies
- Request notification for each cookie used
For cookie settings, it is worth checking the ‘Options’ or ‘Settings’ menu of your browser, or using the ‘Help’ menu of your search engine. The following websites can provide help on settings for the most commonly used browsers.
- Internet Explorer
- Firefox
- Chrome
It is important to note that the website operates with cookie management. If the client partially or fully blocks the use of these, it may prevent the site from functioning. If this is the case, there may be features and services that you will not be able to use fully or partially.
We also use cookies even if the User does not have a registered account, or has logged out of their account. For example, if the User has logged out, we use cookies to:
- identify and disable spam senders’ accounts
- recover the account if access is lost
- provide further security features, such as login notifications and login approvals
- prevent minors from registering with a false date of birth
- display, select, evaluate, measure, and interpret advertisements shown on the site and elsewhere (including advertisements displayed by or on behalf of our affiliates or partners)
- compile analytical information about people who interact with our services, as well as with the websites of our advertisers and partners.
To protect the services and their users against malicious activities, we place cookies even if the User does not have a registered account but has visited our website. For example, these cookies help us detect and prevent attacks aiming to disrupt the service, as well as the mass creation of fake accounts.
If there are cookies in the browser or on the device, we can read the given cookie when you visit a website with a social media module. The website operator is responsible for cookies set by social network sites (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, GooglePlus), about which you can find more information on the respective social network’s site.
