What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored in a user’s browser. Most cookies contain a unique identifier called the cookie ID: a string of characters that websites and servers associate with the browser in which the cookie is stored. This allows websites and servers to differentiate your browser from other browsers that store different cookies and recognize each browser by its unique cookie ID.
Cookies are widely used by websites and servers to provide many of the basic services we find online. If you shop on a website, a cookie allows the website to remember which items you have added to your virtual shopping cart. If you set preferences on a website, a cookie allows the website to remember your preferences the next time you visit. Or, if you log into a website, it may use a cookie to recognize your browser later so you don’t have to log in again. Cookies also allow websites to collect data about user activity, such as how many unique visitors a page receives per month. All of these applications depend on the information stored in cookies.
How we use Cookies
Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies to learn how you interact with our content and to improve your experience when visiting our website. For example, some cookies remember your language or preferences so that you don’t have to make these choices repeatedly whenever you visit one of our websites. In addition, cookies allow us to offer specific content such as videos on our website(s). We may use what we learn about your behavior on our website(s) to serve targeted advertisements on third-party website(s) in an effort to “re-present” our products and services to you.
What types of Cookies do we use?
Primary Cookies and Third Party Cookies
We use both first-party cookies and third-party cookies on our website.
First-party cookies are cookies issued by the seletronic.com.br domain and are generally used to identify language and location preferences, auto-fill form data, or facilitate basic website functionality.
Third-party cookies are owned and managed by other companies, such as Seletronic’s business partners or service providers, and affiliate programs that offer advertising, which is the site’s source of revenue. These cookies may be necessary to produce certain forms, such as asking a question on the Forum, posting comments, keeping your login active, or allowing some advertising outside of the Seletronic website.
Session Cookies
Session cookies are temporary cookies that are used to remember you during the course of your visit to the website, and they expire when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies are used to remember your website preferences and remain on your computer or mobile device even after you close your browser or perform a reset. We use these cookies to analyze user behavior and establish standards so that we can improve the functionality of our website for you and others who visit our website(s). These cookies also allow us to deliver targeted advertisements and measure the effectiveness of our website and the functionality of such advertisements.
How are Cookies used for advertising purposes?
Cookies and ad technologies such as ‘web beacons’, ‘pixels’ and ad network tags’ help us to deliver relevant ads more effectively. They also help us collect consolidated data for the purposes of audits, research and performance reporting for advertisers. Pixels allow us to understand and improve the ad delivery to you, and also let us know when certain ads have already been served to you. Because your browser may request ads and ‘web beacons’ directly from ad network servers, these networks may view, edit or set their own cookies, just as if you had accessed a web page on their site.
Although we do not use cookies to profile your browsing behavior on third-party websites, we do use consolidated information from such third-party websites to show you relevant advertisements based on your interests. We do not provide any information we collect to advertisers. You can choose not to see advertisements outside the website and/or third parties by adjusting your cookie settings. This will not remove ads from the pages you visit, but instead this choice will result in ads that are not based on your interests. This implies that the ads you see will not be matched with your interests for those specific cookies. This criterion is provided by the third-party advertising program.
How are Third Party Cookies used?
For some of the functions within our websites we use third party providers, for example when you visit a page with an embedded or YouTube video. These videos or links (and any other content from third-party providers) may contain third-party cookies, and we encourage you to consult these third-party privacy policies on their websites for information regarding their use of cookies.
How do I reject or delete Cookies?
You can choose to reject or block all or specific types of cookies set through your visit to a Seletronic website by setting your browser not to accept cookies from our seletronic.com.br domain and other subdomains. You can change your preferences for Seletronic websites and/or third party websites by changing your browser settings. Please note that most browsers automatically accept cookies. Therefore, if you do not want cookies to be used, you may have to actively delete or block cookies. If you decline the use of cookies, you will be able to visit our websites, but some of the functions may not work correctly. You may also visit www.allaboutcookies.org for more details on how to delete or reject cookies and for additional information about cookies in general. By using our website without deleting or rejecting some or all cookies, you agree that we may place those cookies that you have not deleted or rejected on your devices.
