WHAT IS A COOKIE?
The Expomatto.fi online store uses cookies to collect data about the device browsing the site. A cookie is a piece of information that a server stores in a user’s browser to identify the device and re-identify it on subsequent visits. Cookies are typically a very small amount of data, usually a short text file.
By using cookies, the device browsing the site and related data about its usage can be identified, but this data cannot be used to identify an individual person. The data generated by cookies allows for the collection, processing, and analysis of information related to site usage, traffic, events, and other statistics. We use these actions to achieve better site usability and the best possible customer experience.
Types of Cookies
There are session-specific cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies expire when the user closes their browser, while persistent cookies remain for a specified time limit or until the user deletes them. Browsers only send a cookie to the server that originally sent it to the user.
Cookies can store and transmit choices a user makes on the site. For example, if a user selects English as their language, this choice can be stored as a cookie in their browser. Subsequently, all of the user’s HTTP requests to the same server will transmit the information about the user’s language choice.
Our site may also contain third-party cookies related to measuring user traffic and site analytics. These third parties may place cookies on your device when you visit our site.
