1. What are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites operate, to improve user experience, and to provide analytical information.

Cookies can be categorized based on their duration and ownership:

  • Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire once you close your browser. They are used to track your activities during a single session.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period (which can range from minutes to years) or until you manually delete them. They help the Website recognize you as a returning visitor.
  • First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by the Website you are visiting (definomist.com).
  • Third-Party Cookies: These are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting, usually when the website incorporates elements from other sites (e.g., social media plugins, external analytics services).

2. How We Use Cookies and Their Purposes

We use cookies to enhance your experience, ensure the proper functioning of our services, and analyze our performance. Specifically, our cookies serve the following purposes:

2.2. Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how our visitors use the Website (e.g., which pages are most popular, how long users spend on a page). The data collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this information to improve the overall performance and functionality of the Website.

2.3. Functionality/Preference Cookies

These cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, they can be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.

2.4. Targeting and Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. These are usually persistent cookies placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission.
