What is a cookie?
A cookie is a type of identification file left and read by the browser used by the user on any website. Cookie files may store various data such as the user’s session information, time spent on the page, and content consumption habits.
Our cookies are used to offer you a personalized experience while using our websites, to improve our services, and enhance your experience.
Cookies can be categorized based on their purpose and usage. Some of these categories are explained below:
Types of cookies:
Types of cookies by duration: Our website uses session cookies and persistent cookies based on their duration. Session cookies are used to maintain session continuity and are deleted when the user closes their browser. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, are not deleted when the browser is closed and are removed automatically on a specific date or after a specific time.
First-party and third-party cookies: Whether a cookie is first-party or third-party depends on the website or domain placing the cookie. First-party cookies are placed directly by the website visited by the user (the internet address shown in the browser’s address bar, e.g., https://reformsports.com). Third-party cookies are placed by a domain other than the one the user is visiting.
Types of cookies by purpose:
1) Mandatory Cookies:
These cookies are necessary for the functioning of the website. They are used to enable the basic functions of the site and ensure it works properly. These cookies are also essential for fulfilling a requested information society service (such as logging in, filling out forms, and remembering privacy preferences). Blocking mandatory cookies may cause parts of the website to function improperly.
2) Analytical/Performance Cookies
These cookies are used to analyze user behavior and provide statistical data on websites. They are frequently used to improve the website. Website owners use them to estimate the number of unique visitors, measure traffic, optimize performance, identify key search engine keywords that lead users to the website, and track site navigation. This helps to assess and improve site performance. These cookies also help understand which pages are the most and least popular.
3) Functional Cookies
These cookies are used to make our website more functional and to personalize your experience (excluding privacy preferences, to remember other settings upon your return). They are also used in web and app environments (including desktop, mobile, or IoT devices) to remember personal preferences. These cookies serve functions other than those provided by mandatory cookies.
4) Advertising/Marketing Cookies
These cookies are used for advertising and marketing purposes to track users’ online activities, identify personal interests, and display targeted advertisements. Online behavioral advertising, one of the most preferred types of ads, allows advertisers to tailor ads based on users’ preferences, ensuring more efficient use of time and financial resources. This process includes monitoring online behavior, analyzing it for profiling, and matching profiles with relevant ads.
