The cookie is installed by the request sent by a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome, Mozilla), and it is fully \u201cpassive\u201d (it does not contain software, viruses or spyware, and it cannot access information on the user\u2019s drive). Cookies are used to monitor user behaviours; some of the typical applications are to remember the user preferences and implement the \u201cshopping cart\u201d system. These files make it possible to recognise the user\u2019s terminal and present the content in a relevant manner, adapted to the user\u2019s preferences. Cookies ensure a pleasant browsing experience for the user and support SelfPay\u2019s efforts to offer convenient services to its users, e.g., online privacy preferences. They are also used in preparing anonymous aggregated statistics that help with understanding how a user uses the SelfPay application or website, thus enabling improvements of structure and content, but excluding the personal identification of the user.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What types of cookies does SelfPay use?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>SelfPay uses two types of cookies: per session, and fixed cookies (temporary files that remain in the user\u2019s terminal until the end of the session or until the application\/web browser is closed).<\/p>\n<p>Fixed files remain on the user\u2019s terminal for a period within the parameters of the cookie or until deleted by the user manually. The cookies used by the operator\u2019s partners, including, but not limited to the users of the web page, are subject to that respective confidentiality policy.<\/p>\n<p>A visit on the SelfPay Now website or application will place the necessary cookies, which are essential for you to receive the Services, and for which your consent is not needed.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, depending on your consent, SelfPay may place:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Visitor analysis cookies<\/li>\n<li>Marketing cookies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The personal data collected by the use of cookies will only be collected to facilitate certain features for the user, and is encrypted in a way that makes it impossible for unauthorised persons to access it. In general, an application used for accessing web pages allows cookies to be saved on the terminal by default. These settings can be changed so that the automatic management of cookies is blocked by the web server or the user is informed every time when cookies are sent to their terminal. Detailed information about the possibilities and the ways of managing cookies can be found in the setting area of the application (web browser).<\/p>\n<p>Limiting the use of cookies may affect certain features of the application. Cookies are the central element of the efficient operation of the Internet, and help generate a friendly browsing experience, adapted to every user\u2019s preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may render some sites impossible to use. Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and the biggest sites use cookies, these are almost inevitable; disabling cookies will restrict the user\u2019s access to the most widespread and used websites, such as Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples of important uses of cookies:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>content and services adapted to the user\u2019s preferences &#8211; categories of products and services;<\/li>\n<li>use of local storage function &#8211; meaning, accessing those storage spaces in a device, where information can be stored;<\/li>\n<li>use of scripts &#8211; meaning, using code to collect information about you;<\/li>\n<li>use of tracking pixels &#8211; meaning, using a monitoring mechanism to check whether you actually made the purchase included in the offer you reserved;<\/li>\n<li>user interest-adapted access &#8211;<\/li>\n<li>measuring, optimisation, and analytics features &#8211; such as confirming a certain traffic level on a website, the type of content that is viewed, and how a user gets on a website (e.g., through search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.).
