2. What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, that will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal, or other equipment of a user accessing the Internet. The cookie is installed through a request issued by the user's terminal to a ZXS-shop server or to a third-party server.

3. What are Cookies Used For?

These files make it possible to primarily recognize the user's terminal and present content in a relevant, customized manner according to the user's preferences.

Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support ZXS-shop's efforts to offer more tailored services to users, such as online privacy preferences, shopping carts, or relevant advertising. They are also used in preparing anonymous aggregated statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our web 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 cookies and fixed cookies. Session cookies are temporary files that remain on the user's terminal until the session ends or the application is closed. Fixed cookies remain on the user's terminal for a period determined by the cookie parameters or until manually deleted by the user.

5. How Are Cookies Used by This Site?

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

You can set your browser to block cookies, but in this case, certain sections of the site may not function correctly.

The other categories of cookies have the roles indicated in section 11.

6. Do Cookies or Similar Technologies Contain Personal Data?

Cookies or similar technologies do not, in themselves, request personal information to be used and, in many cases, do not personally identify Internet users. However, there are situations where personal data can be collected through the use of cookies to facilitate certain functionalities for the user or to offer the user a more tailored experience. Such data is encrypted in a way that makes unauthorized access to them impossible.

8. Managing Preferences for Cookie Placement

Generally, an application used to access web pages allows cookies and/or similar technologies to be saved on the terminal by default. These are stored for periods described in the table in section 11 below. These settings can be changed in such a way that the automatic management of cookies is blocked by the web browser, or the user is informed every time cookies are sent to their terminal.

Detailed information about the possibilities and ways of managing cookies can be found in the settings area of the application (web browser). Limiting the use of cookies may affect certain functionalities of the website.

9. Why Are Cookies and/or Similar Technologies Important for the Internet?

Cookies and/or similar technologies are a central point of the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience adapted to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies can make some sites or parts of sites unusable.

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

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

  • Content and services tailored to user preferences – categories of products and services.

  • Offers tailored to user interests

  • Retaining passwords

  • Retaining child protection filters regarding content on the Internet (family mode options, safe search functions).

  • Limiting the frequency of ad displays – limiting the number of times an ad is shown to a particular user on a site.

  • Providing advertising relevant to the user.

  • Measuring, optimizing, and adapting analytics 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 run these analyses regarding their usage to improve services for the benefit of users.

10. Security and Privacy Aspects

Generally, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, their validity period, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a certain site.

Other security aspects related to cookies:

  • Customizing your browser settings regarding cookies to reflect a comfortable level of security for you in using cookies.

  • If you are the only person using the computer, you can set, if you wish, long expiration periods for storing your browsing history and personal access data.

  • If you share computer access, you might consider setting your browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close the browser. This is a way to access websites that place cookies and delete any visit information when closing the browsing session.
