1. Cookie statement

1.1. About cookies

Our website uses intelligent and useful methods in order to make the page as interesting as possible for each visitor and to simplify its use. One of the most famous methods are cookies. They may be used by website owners or third parties who communicate through the website you visit, such as advertisers.

Cookies are small text files that websites store on users' computers. The information contained in cookies can also be used to track other websites you visit that use the same cookie.

Cookies are classified by duration and by who set them.

We consider it important that you know about the cookies used by our website and the purpose for which they are used. The purpose is threefold: we want to ensure your privacy, user friendliness and funding of our website as best we can. The following explanation provides additional information about the cookies used on our website and their purpose.

2. How FACTCOOL or its businesses and brands use cookies

FACTCOOL uses cookies to collect statistics about visitors and to store information about your preferences when visiting the website. The purpose of using cookies is to improve your experience of visiting the site.

3. Cookies and their operation
Different types of cookies are used for different purposes.

Below you will find a list of the most common types of cookies and what they are used for.

3.1. Session cookies
The session cookie is temporarily stored in your computer's memory while you surf the site, for example to remember which language you have chosen. Session cookies are not stored on your computer for a long time. They are deleted whenever you turn off your web browser.

2.3 Persistent or tracking cookies
A permanent cookie is stored on your computer for a long time. This type of cookie has a limited validity period. Persistent cookies help websites remember your information and settings when you visit them again later. This makes access faster and more convenient, as you don't have to sign in again, for example.

When a cookie expires, it will be automatically deleted the next time you visit the page that created the cookie.

3.3 Primary cookies
These cookies are set by the website itself (the same domain as in the browser's address bar) and can only be read by them. These cookies are commonly used to store information such as your preferences in case you visit the site again.

3.4. Third party cookies
These cookies are set by domains other than the one in the browser's address bar, an organization that does not own this website.

For example, cookies that are used to collect information for advertising purposes and personalized content, as well as for web statistics, may be third-party cookies.

Because third-party cookies allow you to create more comprehensive surveys of your surfing habits, they are considered more sensitive in terms of integrity. Therefore, most web browsers allow you to customize your settings so that you do not allow third-party cookies.

3.5. Flash cookies
Flash cookies (locally shared objects) are data that websites that use Adobe Flash can store on your computer. 

Flash cookies are a new way of tracking your movement on the Internet and store much more information about you than regular cookies. The main disadvantage of flash cookies is that you cannot find them in your browser. They do not appear in the list of cookies that you can view when reviewing the cookies that are currently stored in your web browser. Common HTTP cookies cannot store more than 4 kilobytes of data, while flash cookies can store up to 100 kilobytes.

Flash cookies are technically similar to cookies. Almost all web browsers have a Flash player, which is used to display Flash presentations. One of the most popular Flash presentations is the YouTube video player. (Flash cookies aren't just associated with YouTube, but apply to all sites that use them.)

Flash cookies have no time limit. They will remain on your computer until they are deleted.

3.5.1 What we use flash cookies for

FACTCOOL uses flash cookies to collect statistics and set audio preferences.

3.5.2 How to block flash cookies
It is not possible to block or manage flash cookies in the browser in the same way because they are stored elsewhere in the Global Storage Settings panel in the online settings menu of the Adobe site.

You can access settings management from the Adobe website, but it runs locally on your computer. The page storage settings show all flash cookies currently stored on your computer.

You can delete flash cookies from individual pages or all at once. Additionally, you can increase or decrease the total amount of information in kilobytes that is stored on your computer.

If you disable the "Allow third-party flash content to store data on your computer" option in the global storage settings, no flash cookies will be stored.

If you want to block flash cookies for individual sites, you do so in the settings message.

If you block flash cookies, we cannot guarantee that all functions of our website will work properly.

2.6 Block / activate or delete cookies
You can restrict or block cookies through your browser settings.

If you don't want websites to store cookies on your computer at all, you can customize your browser settings so that you always receive a notification before the cookie is stored. Similarly, you can adjust the settings so that the browser rejects all cookies or only third-party cookies. You can also delete any cookie that has already been saved. You need to adjust the settings separately for each browser and computer you use.

If you do not want cookies, we cannot guarantee the correct functioning of our website. Some features on this page may be disabled and some web pages may not be displayed. In addition, rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads. Ads just won't be tailored to your interests and will be repeated more often.

Each browser has its own way of customizing the settings. If necessary, use the browser help function to customize the settings.

More information on blocking cookies on your mobile phone can be found in the relevant manual.
