What are cookies?
An "Internet Cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie" or "cookie") is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, that will be stored on your computer, mobile terminal or other equipment of a user through which the Internet is accessed.
Cookies are installed by request issued by a web server to a browser (eg Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). Once installed, cookies have a determined lifespan, remaining "passive", in the sense that they do not contain software, viruses or spyware and will not access the information on the hard driver of the user on whose equipment they were installed.
A cookie consists of two parts:
- name and
- the content or value of the cookie.
From a technical point of view, only the webserver that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that webserver.
There are the following categories of cookies:
- Session Cookies - A "session cookie" is a cookie that is automatically deleted when the user closes their browser.
- Persistent Cookies - A "persistent cookie" is a cookie that remains stored in the user's terminal until it reaches a certain expiration date (which can be in a few minutes, days or several years in the future).
What is the lifetime of cookies?
Cookies are administered by webservers. The lifetime of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are used exclusively for a single session (ie session cookies) and are no longer retained from the moment the user leaves the website. Some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website (ie persistent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time via browser settings.
What are third-party cookies?
In addition to the cookies set by KARACA, certain sections of content on the website may be provided through third parties, ie not by KARACA, in which case these cookies are called "third party cookies".
Third party cookie providers must also comply with the data protection rules and privacy policy available on this website.
These cookies may come from the following third parties: Google such as Google Analytics, Google Ads Remarketing, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, Criteo, Onetrust etc.
These are used to tailor our off-site advertising and help to make our advertising and content more relevant and personalised to you.
