What is a cookie?
A cookie is a text file containing information that is downloaded to your device when you first visit a website. The cookie is sent back on each subsequent visit to the originating site, or to any other site that recognises it. Cookies are useful because they allow a site to recognise your device and give you a more efficient, personalised experience.
What is a cookie NOT?
Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text formats; they are not made up of pieces of code, so they cannot be executed or run, and they cannot replicate or spread to other networks.
What types of cookies are used?
Euro Care uses both its own cookies and third-party cookies.
First-party cookies are used by Euro Care when you visit one of our sites and are divided into:
Technical cookies are necessary for the site to work properly; they allow navigation between sections of the site and the use of certain functionalities.
Session cookies are temporary and make browsing the site quick and easy.
Persistent cookies, or "tracking" cookies, last over several sessions and remain in the browser for a period after the session expires (unless deleted by the user).
Functional cookies monitor how the site works and remember your preferences (language, username, region), offering advanced functionality and removing the need to reselect options on every visit.
Third-party cookies used by Euro Care include:
Performance cookies (Google Analytics): they collect anonymous information about your online behaviour (browser type, IP address, operating system, domain visited, date and time of the visit, etc.) for statistical purposes and for creating visitor profiles.
The cookies used do not collect data that could reveal your identity. Our sites may contain links, third-party content and extensions to other websites that are not owned or operated by Euro Care. Euro Care assumes no responsibility for the privacy practices of those sites.
