2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and enable certain functionality.

Cookies are created by the web server and sent to the browser when you first visit a website. Each time you revisit the website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server. This allows the server to identify your browser and track your interactions with the website over time.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Papa Ginos) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.

When you visit our website papaginosnew.click, the following process occurs:

  • Your browser sends a request to our web server to load the webpage.
  • Our server responds with the webpage content and instructions to set certain cookies on your device.
  • Your browser stores these cookies locally on your device.
  • On subsequent visits, your browser automatically sends the stored cookies back to our server, allowing us to recognize you and remember your preferences.
  • Some cookies are set by third-party services embedded in our website, such as Google Analytics or advertising platforms.

They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations, such as advertisers.
