COOKIES
This Cookie Policy is intended to inform you how Digital Foothills for Information Tehchnology Company as "Advi-tech" uses technology called “cookies” and server-side tagging.
About cookie?
A cookie, also known as a browser cookie, is a text file containing small amounts of information which a server may download to your computer, mobile or tablet when you visit website or use an app.
There are different types of cookies which are used to do different things, such as letting you navigate between different pages on a website efficiently, remembering preferences you have given and helping us to identify ways to improve your overall site experience. Others are used to provide you with advertising which is more tailored to your interests or to measure the number of site visits and the most popular pages users visit.
What is server-side tagging?
Server-side tagging works differently to cookies as it operates on the server-side rather than in a browser, so no data is downloaded to your device. This technology uses non-identifiable click events in order to provide similar functionality to cookies and to improve your overall user experience. The use of server-side tagging can be managed alongside your cookie preferences.
‘First party’ and ‘third party’ cookies
Each type of cookie can be set and controlled by the operator of the website which the user is browsing such as “Advi-tech” (known as a ‘first party cookie’) or a third party such as Instagram , for example to display advertisements and social sharing features, (known as a ‘third party cookie’).
Due to their core role of enhancing and enabling usability or site processes, disabling certain cookies may prevent you from using certain aspects of the Advi-tech website. Generally , there are two different types of browser cookie:
1. Session cookies are stored in the computer’s memory of the user during a user’s browsing session and they are automatically deleted from the user’s device when the browser is closed or the session is deemed to have ended. These cookies usually store a session ID that is not personally identifiable to the user. They allow the user to move from page to page on the website without requiring the user to log-in repeatedly. They are widely used by commercial web sites for instance : keep track of items that a consumer has added to basket.
2. Session cookies do not collect any information from the user’s device, and they expire at the end of the user’s browser session. They can also become inaccessible after the session has been inactive for a specified length of time, usually 20 or 30 minutes.
3. Persistent cookies are stored on the user’s device and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies can be used to retain user preferences for a particular website, allowing those preferences to be used in future browsing sessions. Persistent cookies usually assign a unique ID to the user’s browser, and they are usually configured to identify a user for a prolonged period of time, from days to months or even years.
