Cookie Policy
This policy applies to the “cookies” of the domain name website. We use “cookies” on our website. These are files that store information in your web browser. This requires your consent. We use “cookies” in accordance with Act C of 2003 on Electronic Communications, Act CVIII of 2001 on certain issues of electronic commerce services and information society services, as well as the regulations of the European Union. Websites operating within the countries of the European Union must request users’ consent to use “cookies” and to store them on the user’s computer or other devices.
The guidelines formulated here apply to the following domain: www.xavinhotelharkany.hu
What are “cookies”?
“Cookies” are small files containing letters and numbers. A “cookie” is a tool for exchanging information between the web server and the user’s browser. These data files are not executable, do not contain spyware or viruses, and cannot access the contents of the users’ hard drives. “Cookies” are not viruses or spyware. Because they are simple plain text files, they cannot be executed and therefore cannot be considered programs.
However, it may happen that information is hidden in the “cookie” with a different (malicious) intent, so they can act as spyware. For this reason, antivirus and anti-spyware programs may constantly mark “cookies” for deletion. Since the device used for browsing the internet and the web servers communicate continuously, sending data back and forth, if an attacker (hacker) intercepts the process, they can extract the information stored by the “cookies.”
One reason for this could be, for example, an improperly encrypted internet (WiFi) connection. Exploiting this vulnerability, data can be extracted from the “cookies.”
What can “cookies” be used for?
With the help of the information sent by “cookies,” people using the internet can be more easily recognized, providing users with relevant and “personalized” content. Cookies make browsing more convenient, satisfying needs related to online data security and relevant advertisements. Using “cookies,” website operators can also compile anonymous statistics regarding the habits of website visitors. By using these, website editors can further personalize the appearance and content of the site.
What kind of “cookies” might you encounter?
Websites may use the following types of cookies:
- Temporary (session) “cookies”, which remain on your device until you leave the website.
- Persistent “cookies”, which, depending on your web browser’s settings, remain on your device for a longer period or until you delete them.
- Third-party “cookies”, which are placed in your browser by a third party (e.g., Google Analytics). These are placed in your browser if the visited website uses services provided by the third party.
Strictly necessary (session-ID) “cookies”:
Their use is essential for navigating the website and for the website’s functions to operate. Without accepting these, the website or some of its parts may not display, or may display incorrectly.
Analytical or performance “cookies”:
These help us distinguish website visitors and collect data on how visitors behave on the website. With these “cookies,” we ensure, for example, that the website remembers your login when requested. These do not collect information that can identify you personally; the data is stored in an aggregated and anonymous form (e.g., Google Analytics).
Functional “cookies”:
The purpose of these “cookies” is to improve the user experience. For example, they detect and store the device you used to open the website, or the data you previously provided and asked to be stored: such as automatic login, chosen language, text size, font, or other user changes made to customizable elements of the website. These “cookies” do not track your activity on other websites. However, the information they collect may include personal identification data that you have shared.
No cookies listed under the "preferences" category.Targeting or advertising “cookies”:
These allow websites to provide information (marketing) that best suits your interests. This requires your explicit consent. These “cookies” collect detailed information about your browsing habits.
How can “cookie” settings be controlled?
“Cookies” can be deleted or disabled in the web browsers you use. By default, browsers allow the placement of “cookies.” This can be disabled in the browser settings, and existing ones can be deleted. Furthermore, the browser can be set to notify the user when a “cookie” is sent to the device. However, it is important to emphasize that disabling or restricting these files degrades the browsing experience and may cause errors in the website’s functionality.
