2. What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, that will be stored on the computer, mobile device, or other equipment of a user accessing the internet. The cookie is installed through the request issued by the user's terminal to the server of the website 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 ensure users a pleasant browsing experience and support the efforts of the website to provide more tailored services to users, e.g., privacy preferences, shopping cart, or relevant advertising. They are also used in preparing anonymous aggregate statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our internet pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content without allowing the personal identification of the user.

4. What cookies do we use?

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

5. How are cookies used by this site?

A visit to the website www.devxart.com may place the following types of cookies:

Strictly necessary cookies for site operation
Analytics cookies
Advertising cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the site and are set on your device when accessing the site or as a result of 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 contain personal data?

Cookies 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 can be collected through the use of cookies to facilitate certain functionalities for the user or to provide the user with a more tailored experience based on their preferences. Such data is encrypted in a way that makes unauthorized access impossible.

7. Blocking cookies

If you wish to block cookies, some site functionalities will be stopped, and this may generate certain malfunctions or errors in using our site. For example, blocking cookies may prevent you from:

Logging into your account
Making online purchases

8. Managing preferences regarding the placement of cookies

In general, an application used to access web pages allows the default storage of cookies on the terminal. These are stored for periods described in the table in section 11 below. These settings can be changed so that the automatic management 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 methods of managing cookies can be found in the application's settings area (web browser). Limiting the use of cookies may affect certain website functionalities.

9. Why are cookies important for the Internet?

Cookies are a central point of the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies can make some websites or parts of websites impossible to use.

Disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising, in compliance with the law – it just means that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests highlighted by browsing behavior.

Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require user authentication through an account):

Content and services tailored to user preferences – product and service categories
Offers tailored to user interests
Retention of passwords
Retention of child protection filters for Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions)
Limiting the frequency of ad broadcasting – limiting the number of ad displays for a specific user on a site
Providing relevant advertising to the user
Measurement, optimization, and adaptation of analysis features – such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed, and how a user arrives at a website (e.g., through search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.). Websites conduct these analyses regarding their usage to improve their services for the benefit of users

10. Security and privacy-related aspects

In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity periods, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a specific site.

Other security aspects related to cookies:

Customizing browser settings regarding cookies to reflect a comfortable level of security for you
If you are the sole user of the computer, you can set long expiration periods for storing browsing history and personal access data, if desired
If you share computer access, you may consider setting the browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close the browser. This is a way to access sites that place cookies and delete any visitation information upon closing the browsing session
