Websites and applications of Benefit Systems d.o.o., Ulica Vjekoslava Heinzela 44, HR-10000 Zagreb, OIB: 57845277445, as the Controller of processing, (‘BS’ or ‘we’) use cookies and other similar technologies, such as pixels, plugins, tags, or web beacons. We will refer to these technologies collectively as “cookies”.
Below you can find information about cookies, as well as additional information on how our websites and applications work, including information about Local Storage, push messages and your location.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that your browser stores on your computer or mobile device (also known as terminal equipment) when you visit a certain website. With the help of cookies, the website can remember your actions and preferred settings (such as login information, language, font size, and other preferred settings) for a longer period of time, so it is not necessary to re-enter them each time you return to the website or when navigating its different pages.
A similar mechanism of storing information on user devices is local storage and session storage in modern browsers. Local and session storage are essentially pieces of memory in web browsers that remember keys and values, and which are kept separately for each webpage (domain). Local storage persists until deleted (e.g. manually or by a script), while session storage is deleted when closing the associated browser tab.
How can cookies be used?
In general, there are three different ways to classify cookies: how long they persist, their provenance, and what purpose they serve.
Duration
- Session cookies and session storage – these cookies are temporary and expire once you close your browser (or once your session ends).
- Persistent cookies and local storage – cookies that remain on your hard drive until you erase them or your browser does, depending on the cookie’s expiration date. All persistent cookies have an expiration date written into their code, but their duration can vary. Local storage persists until deleted.
Provenance
- First-party cookies – as the name implies, first-party cookies are put on your device directly by the website you are visiting.
- Third-party cookies – these are the cookies that are placed on your device, not by the website you are visiting, but by a third party like an advertiser or an analytic system.
Purpose
- Strictly necessary cookies – these cookies are essential for you to browse the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Cookies that allow web shops to hold your items in your cart while you are shopping online are an example of strictly necessary cookies. These cookies will generally be first-party session cookies. While it is not required to obtain consent for these cookies, what they do and why they are necessary should be explained to the user.
- Preference/functionality cookies – these cookies allow a website to remember choices you have made in the past, like what language you prefer, what region you would like weather reports for, or what your username and password are so you can automatically log in.
- Statistics/performance cookies – these cookies collect information about how you use a website, like which pages you visited and which links you clicked on. None of this information can be used to identify you. It is all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized. Their sole purpose is to improve website functions. This includes cookies from third-party analytics services as long as the cookies are for the exclusive use of the owner of the website visited.
- Marketing cookies – these cookies track your online activity to help advertisers deliver more relevant advertising or to limit how many times you see an ad. These cookies can share that information with other organizations or advertisers. These are persistent cookies and almost always of third-party provenance.
We do not use cookies for purposes other than those described in our Privacy Policy and this Cookie Policy.
