1. SCOPE OF THIS POLICY
This Cookie Policy ("Policy") has been established to inform users of the Website about the processing of their personal data through the use of cookies.
Cookies contain information necessary for the proper use of the Website. These are widely used small files containing a string of characters that are sent to and stored on the terminal equipment (e.g., computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone) used by the Customer when visiting the Website.
This information is sent to the cache of the web browser being used, which then sends it back during subsequent visits to the website. Most frequently, they contain the name of the website from which they originate, their storage duration on the terminal equipment, and a unique identifier.
2. PURPOSES OF COOKIE USAGE:
Cookies are used to remember your settings, device, and browser preferences. Although cookies do not always identify you directly, they contribute to a more personalised online experience.
Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our site. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our site and also allows us to improve our site. We use cookies on our website and https://viyar.com/ (hereinafter the "Website") for the following purposes:
- to recognise your device and manage user sessions;
- to analyse how users interact with the site;
- for fraud prevention;
- to ensure the functionality of the Website;
- for other purposes described in this Policy.
3. WE USE THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF COOKIES:
We may use four main types of cookies on our website, including those placed by third-party services:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. These necessary cookies are always active as our site will not function properly without them. These cookies enable you to use the site by providing basic functions such as security, etc. You may disable these cookies in your browser settings, but this may result in you being unable to access all or parts of our site.
Analytical or Performance Cookies
These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our site when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users find what they are looking for easily. Sometimes these cookies are placed by third-party web traffic analytics providers.
Functionality Cookies
These are used to recognise you when you return to our site. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
Targeting (Marketing) Cookies
These are used to track visitor interest in a specific product, measure unique visits, recognise returning users, and display personalised advertisements. They are placed by us and selected third parties and allow you to display advertisements on external websites.
4. HOW WE USE COOKIES
You have the right to receive full information about the cookies used on our site, including their specific purposes and retention periods. If you wish to exercise this right, please submit your request using the contact details provided in this Policy.
You may manage your cookie settings, including disabling optional cookies, at any time using our consent management tool.
We may use the following data collected through cookies in accordance with this Policy:
Server Logs
Server logs are internal event logs of the Website's server that automatically record requests sent by Customers while using the Website. These logs contain the requests sent by the user, IP address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of the request, and at least one "cookie" that can uniquely identify the user's browser.
Data collected in system logs are used by us for an indefinite period solely for the purpose of managing the Website. This data is not transferred to third parties, except as described in this document."
Caching
In the course of providing services, we may automatically use the cache of your browser, application, or device. This involves storing data in the memory of the browser installed on your device. Cross-session data storage is possible in local memory (i.e., between your consecutive sessions). The purpose of using cache is to accelerate the use of the site by eliminating situations where the same data is repeatedly downloaded from the site, which leads to congestion of your internet connection.
Geolocation
We or third parties may use a geolocation function to collect and process information about your location through cookies that they manage. For this purpose, data such as IP address, GPS sensor, Wi-Fi access point, or mobile network base stations may be processed.
Pixel Tags and/or Analytical Tags
We or third parties, via cookies they manage, may use analytical and/or pixel tag functions. These are elements published in digital materials that allow for the recording of information, such as Customer activity on the Website.
The collected information may be used for traffic analysis, improvement of user experience, and marketing purposes.
5. COOKIES BY DURATION:
The cookies we collect also differ by their retention period, namely:
- Session cookies expire automatically when the browser is closed;
- Persistent cookies remain until their expiration date or until deleted by the user
We use both session and persistent cookies on our website.
