What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files, which can be stored on your computer upon your visit to websites. Cookies usually have an expiration date. They can perform different functions but typically keep a record of websites visited.
Your internet browser downloads a cookie on the first visit to a website. The next time you visit the website with the same user device, this cookie as well as all the information stored in it will be resent to the website, which created it (first-party cookie). However, there is a possibility this information to be sent to another website managing it (third-party cookie).
This allows the website to recognize your browser and to remember your preferences, for example, your language preference, for later website visits, providing you in this way with more relevant content to your personal interests and needs.
Overall, cookies help us to improve user experience and enable us to improve the performance of the website.
Installation of Cookies
Cookies can be installed by 2G Energy or a third party:
- First-party cookies are installed and managed by 2G Energy. They are specific to the the website which you visit;
- Third-party cookies are installed and managed by a third party. They are installed during your visit to our website and allow certain information to be sent to third parties upon your return to our website
How long do cookies last?
Cookies can be temporary or persistent:
- Temporary or session cookies are temporarily stored in your computer or mobile device. As soon as you close your browser, these cookies are automatically deleted;
- Persistent cookies remain on your device for a longer time, even after you close your browser. They remain on your device until the expiration data is reached and then a new version of the cookie is installed or sometimes, or until you delete them manually. They make it possible to recognize you during a subsequent visit to the website.
The duration depends on the purpose for which certain types of cookies are installed in your computer. For example, a session cookie may be used to allow visitors to be recognized within a set of webpages, so that any choices or data selection made by that user are remembered from page to page.
In another example, a persistent cookie may be used to remember your previous choice of language whenever you return to the same webpage.
Regardless of the purpose behind each specific cookie, 2G Energy takes into account the principle of data minimization when setting this duration. This means that, whenever possible, 2G Energy will opt for the shortest possible duration that still enables the function of the cookie to be performed
