WHAT ARE COOKIES AND DATA COLLECTION TOOLS

It is important to clarify what Cookies and similar technologies are prior to mentioning why and what to use them for.

To come to the point, Cookies are a small data file (usually encrypted text files) that websites request the users’ browser store, whether on the computer or mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.)

The main purpose of cookies is to enable the users’ browser “to remember” its actions and/or preferences throughout time, making it possible that websites that use cookies provide services faster, more efficiently, and customized to the users, without the need to enter the same information over again.

Therefore, cookies are used, among other purposes, to identify USERS, store and remember preferences customized by USERS, help USERS complete tasks without the need to re-enter information when browsing from one website to another or when visiting the Platform again.
