Our Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies? 

Cookies are essentially small text files that are transmitted to and stored directly within your web browser by the vast majority of websites you interact with online. These tiny files serve a highly practical purpose: they allow the websites you visit (or their third-party partners) to recognize you as a returning visitor, though not as a specific individual. Furthermore, they collect valuable analytical data that helps platforms improve their digital services and overall user experience.

When discussing a cookie’s lifespan, they are divided into two distinct groups:

• Session cookies: These are stored exclusively in your device’s memory for the duration of your active visit. As a result, they are automatically deleted the moment you leave the website, close your browser, and end your current “session”.
• Persistent cookies: These files are saved directly to your disk space. They stay until they reach their predetermined duration and expire, or until you manually delete them.

Cookies are also defined by their origin:

• First-party cookies: These are tracking files stored in your web browser directly by the specific website you are currently visiting.
• Third-party cookies: These files are stored by external, third-party subjects or services. Common examples include integrated advertising platforms and complex analytics solutions implemented by the website you are visiting.

How We Utilize Cookies on Bonusto 

Cookies can be leveraged for a massive variety of digital purposes. Based on their core functionality and what they are used for, the cookies we deploy fall into four primary categories:

• Strictly necessary cookies: These are essential so that you can effectively use the website, navigate around its pages, and fully utilize its built-in features. Without these critical components, the website simply would not be able to work properly.
• Performance cookies: These analytical tools are used to collect detailed data regarding how visitors use the website. This gives website operators vital information about how visitors interact with the website architecture. That data subsequently enables them to refine and improve the functionality of their website.
• Functionality cookies: These customized cookies allow websites to conveniently remember the unique choices you make, such as your selected language preference. Thanks to these files, you don’t have to manually change your preferred settings every single time you visit a website; the website will remember them automatically for you.
• Targeting and/or advertising cookies: We utilize these specific files to display promotional content and advertisements that are significantly more relevant to you.
