Geotrading AD uses cookies or similar tools in its websites in order to improve their performance and functionality. This Policy explains how we do that.

  1.What are cookies

A cookie is a small text file containing data. When you visit certain websites, it is sent to and stored on your electronic device (hereinafter referred to as the Device) – for example, mobile phone, desktop computer, laptop, tablet. Cookies do not collect any information about documents or files located on your Device. Cookies allow the Website to store actions and preferences of the user – for example, language, font size, user name, etc., for a certain period of time, or allow for other functionalities.

  2.Managing the cookies

Most browsers enable cookies by default, but users can set their browser to notify them before accepting any cookies, to accept or reject only specific cookies or to refuse all cookies. Users can also delete all cookies from their Device at any time. Please note that any changes you make to these settings only apply to the particular browser in which you made them. If you use different browsers or different terminal devices, you have to change the settings for each browser and each device. Please refer to your browser's Help function for information on how to change your cookie settings and delete cookies. For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage, block and delete them, see http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/.

  3.What is an IP Address

The IP address is a number (a series of digits separated by dots) that is assigned to your device each time you connect to the Internet. This number varies depending on the network you are using to access the Internet (home network, business network – at your office, public network – at the cafe, at the airport). The IP address allows devices and Internet servers to recognise and communicate with each other. Without being linked to any additional information about you, the IP address cannot identify you as an individual on its own. It just allows us to maintain communication with your Device while you are browsing our Website.

  4.What type of data do we collect via our cookies

When we use cookies, we obtain the IP address of the Device you use each time you visit our Website. We use your IP address to ensure the functionality and navigation of the Website, to personalise the Website for the specific needs of users, to improve user experience with the modules, for the purposes of IT security and to perform system diagnostics. We can also share it with our partners, who help us maintain our Website.

   6.Types of cookies we use

   6.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies (First-Party Cookies)

These cookies are used only by us and therefore are also referred to as First-Party Cookies. They are set up by the Website's server and share the same domain. These cookies are necessary for the Website to function as intended, and to create a user session for the visitor and a specified user group with access to the public resources on the Website (text, images, etc.). We use two types of first-party cookies – session cookies and persistent cookies.

  • Session Cookies are stored on your terminal device only during the current browsing session on our Website.

  • Persistent Cookies are stored on the user's Device for a predetermined period of time. We use persistent cookies on our Website to show you the dialog box that pops up upon your first visit to the Website and requests your consent to the use of cookies on our Website.

Google Analytics Cookies collect general statistical data in order to improve the Website’s performance and navigation. Google supplements these general data with demographics and information about visitors' interests to better understand their needs.

These cookies can be set by our advertising partners via our Website. They can be used and shared by these partners in order to create a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other websites. This is based on the unique identification of your browser and the Device you use when accessing websites. If you do not allow these cookies, you will receive advertising that is less targeted. These cookies are:

  • Google AdWords Remarketing - This app is used to record site visits for advertising purposes (remarketing) on ​​Google and the Display Network.

  6.5. Third-Party Cookies

Third-party Cookies are stored on a different domain from the domain of our Website. This can happen when the Website links to a file, for example JavaScript, located outside of its domain. These cookies are persistent cookies and will be automatically deleted after 2 years if you do not visit http://geotrading.bg/ anymore.
