1. What are cookies?


A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer or other internet connected device in order to identify your browser, provide analytics, remember information about you such as your language preference or login information. They're completely safe and can't be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your device.
Cookies are a convenient way to carry information from one session on a website to another, or between sessions on related websites, without having to burden a server machine with massive amounts of data storage. Storing the data on the server without using cookies would also be problematic because it would be difficult to retrieve a particular user's information without requiring a login on each visit to the website.
You can read on sites like Site (external link) to learn more about cookies.
Two types of cookies are:
First party cookies: Cookies placed by the website you’re visiting are called “First party cookies".
Third party cookies: A third-party cookie is one that is placed on a user’s hard disk by a Web site from a domain other than the one a user is visiting. These cookies are often set by advertising networks that a site may subscribe to in the hopes of driving up sales or page hits.

2. What type of cookies are used by Platina?


Cookies can either be session cookies or persistent cookies. A session cookie expires automatically when you close your browser. A persistent cookie will remain until it expires or you delete your cookies. Expiration dates are set in the cookies themselves; some may expire after a few minutes while others may expire after multiple years.
Platina uses only first party cookies in its websites and services.
Our website is regularly scanned to maintain a list as accurate as possible. We classify cookies in the following categories:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies


These cookies are necessary for our website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are essential in order to enable you to navigate around the website and use its features. If you remove or disable these cookies, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to use our websites.

2.2 Analytics Cookies


Analytics cookies help us improve the way our websites work (e.g. by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily). These cookies track information about visits to the websites so that we can make improvement and report our performance. For example, we use cookies to analyse visitor and user behaviour to provide more relevant content or suggest certain activities. These cookies also collect information about how visitors use the websites, which site the user came from, the number of each user’s visits and how long the user stays on the websites. We might also use analytics cookies to test new pages or features to see how users react to them.

2.3 Preference Cookies


Preference cookies are used to provide services or to remember choices you make so we can personalize content for you (e.g. by remembering your username or region). These preferences are remembered, using the persistent cookies, and the next time you visit the websites you will not have to set them again.

3. How to manage cookies?


Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their 'settings' preferences. However, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience, since it will no longer be personalized to you. It may also stop you from saving customized settings like login information. Some services may totally stop functioning if you disable cookies.
Browser manufacturers provide help pages relating to cookie management in their products. Please refer them for more information.

4. Modifications


We may modify this Cookie Statement from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Statement regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
