Why do we use cookies?

We do use cookies thanks to their useful ability to enhance your navigation through our website and make it easier. One can say that cookies are some sort of memories that the website holds about you, helping it to recall your previous navigation and your personal choices.

You can surf easier and faster on a website that remembers you in contrast to a website that does not remember your previous access. This is the reason why most of the websites you know and like, use cookies.

When we integrate social media plugins into our site, they place cookies to allow, for example, the playback of content (eg youtube, soundcloud) or to give you the opportunity to access, appreciate or share a page on your favorite social platform.

What’s in a cookie?

A cookie is a simple piece of information in the form of a very small text file. Each cookie is unique and is composed of the name of the site that created it and a unique string of numbers and letters.

Most sites place cookies on your device’s hard drive (computer, mobile phone or tablet) when you browse them. They do this through your browser – for example Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari or Firefox. A cookie can only be read and retrieved by the site that created it. Sites can never exchange information with each other through cookies.

Some cookies are valid only during your visit. These “session cookies” disappear from your computer or mobile device after you close your browser. Other cookies remain on your computer or mobile device after you close your browser and are still valid for a specified period of time. These “persistent cookies” are activated every time you visit the site that generated them.

What’s not in a cookie?

Cookies (as stand-alone items) do NOT contain:

  • Personal information – you cannot be personally identified based on a cookie.
  • Program code – unlike a computer virus, a cookie is not composed of code, which means that it is not able to damage your device.

For what purposes do we use cookies?

A visit to this site may place the following types of cookies:

  • cookies strictly necessary for the operation of the site
  • cookies for analyzing the behavior of site visitors
  • cookies for personalized advertising

Necessary cookies

First, cookies may be required to ensure the proper functioning of the website. For example, without cookies, it can be difficult for the website to remember that you are logged in. These are called necessary cookies, and are active automatically, not being conditioned by the visitor’s consent.

We have included cookies placed here to show you non-personalized advertising (which reminds you that an ad has been displayed), as well as those that measure our audience on the site (but do not include the demographic or audience segmentation component).

Analytical cookies

Analysis cookies collect information about how visitors use a web page, such as which pages are the most popular, which method of linking the pages is most effective, and whether users receive error messages from web pages. These cookies allow us to provide users with a high quality user experience and serve to help improve the way our website works, as well as the demographic segmentation of the audience.

Last but not least, when we integrate social network plug-ins into the site, they place social media cookies to allow the playback of the content (eg youtube, soundcloud), to give you the opportunity to log in using a third-party service (e.g. Facebook or Google), as well as to give you the opportunity to appreciate or share a page on your favorite social service.

Cookies for personalized advertising

The use of advertising personalization cookies is a current standard of most important sites you visit. Advertising of this type helps us to reach the categories of customers interested in a certain type of product, to which the respective advertisements are displayed. Usually, the information about the categories that define the range of interested users is not personal data, but the profile that is created about visitors is based on the data collected through advertising profiling cookies, falls into the category of personal data. As these cookies are placed by services controlled by us, it results that the profiling (which is a processing of personal data) through these cookies is performed by us as a data operator. You can choose not to be profiled by Google for advertising purposes at www.google.com/settings/ads

Softbinator.com will use by default only cookies strictly necessary for the operation of the site, the other categories of cookies can only be used with your consent.
