COBEGA’S COOKIES POLICY
What are cookies and web beacons?
At COBEGA, we use both first-party and third-party cookies to perform usage analysis and measurement to ensure our websites function properly and to improve our services.
Web beacons, on the other hand, are similar technologies also installed in the user’s browser for different purposes. These are small graphic images (also called “pixel tags” or “transparent GIFs”) that can be included in websites, services, applications, messages, and tools. We only use first-party web beacons to track traffic.
- Technical cookies:These are necessary for navigation. Without them, the website would not work properly (e.g., “user input” cookies for online shopping carts, media player session cookies, etc.).
- Security cookies: These prevent or hinder attacks on the website or its users.
- Analysis cookies: These allow us to measure user activity and create browsing statistics.
