COOKIE POLICY

This Cookie Policy applies to all users of the website www.gulfer.eu

The information presented below is intended to inform users of this website about the placement, use and management of cookies in the context of users browsing this website.

1. What are cookies?

An "Internet Cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie", "HTTP cookie", or simply "cookie") is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that is stored on a user's computer, mobile terminal, or other equipment used to access the Internet.

Cookies are installed through a request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome).

Once installed, cookies have a limited lifespan and remain "passive", meaning that they do not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and will not access information stored on the hard drive of the user's device.

A cookie consists of two parts: the name of the cookie and its content/value.

From a technical perspective, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that web server.

2. For what purposes are cookies used through this website?

Cookies are used to provide users of this website with a better browsing experience and services adapted to the needs and interests of each individual user, as follows:

• improving the use of this website, including by identifying any errors that occur while users visit/use the website;

• providing anonymous statistics regarding how this website is used to the website owner;

• anticipating potential goods/products that may be made available to users through this website in the future, depending on the services/products accessed.

Based on the feedback provided through cookies regarding how this website is used, the website owner may take measures to make this website more efficient and accessible to users.

3. What is the lifespan of cookies?

The lifespan of cookies may vary depending on the purpose for which they are placed. There are the following categories of cookies, which also determine their lifespan:

• Session cookies – these are cookies that are automatically deleted when the user closes their browser.

• Persistent/fixed cookies – these are cookies that remain stored on the user's device until they reach a certain expiration date (a few minutes, days, or several years in the future), or until they are deleted by the user at any time through the browser settings.
