Understanding Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site.
For each request sent by your browser to a server that provides a cookie, the cookies tightly associated with the remote server's domain are sent along with the request.
For each response sent to a request sent by your browser, the server may create, modify or delete cookies it has received, according to your preferences and permissions.
Without cookies, using the web would be a much more frustrating experience.
First party cookies are cookies set by the website you are visiting. Only that website can read them. In addition, a website might potentially use external services, which also set their own cookies, known as third-party cookies.
Persistent cookies are cookies saved on your computer and that are not deleted automatically when you quit your browser, unlike a session cookie, which is deleted when you quit your browser.
Every time you visit a Site managed by Adam, you will be prompted to either
- accept all cookies, or
- accept only essential cookies.
The purpose is to enable the site to remember your preferences (such as user name, language, etc.) for a certain period of time.
That way, you do not have to re-enter them when browsing around the site during the same visit.
Cookies can also be used to establish anonymised statistics about the browsing experience on our sites.
Purpose of Cookies
Adam uses them to support your activities on our website. For example, your session (so you don't have to login again) or your shopping cart.
Cookies are also used to help Adam understand your preferences based on previous or current activity on the Site, your language and country, which enables him to provide you with improved services. Adam also uses cookies to help him compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
Without the use of these cookies, Adam may not have been able, nor would be able, to provide the same level of customer experience, products, and services.
Categories of Cookies
Cookies can be categorized in various ways based on perspective, scope, or technical factors (such as engineering, legal, or functionality considerations). These perspectives help determine how cookies are used, managed, and interpreted on this site.
This and the consecutive sections outline how cookies are classified according to these perspectives. Each perspective contains at least two categories that provide insight into how cookies serve different functions, from improving user experience to meeting legal requirements. A detailed breakdown of these categories, along with their specific purposes, is provided at the end of this document.
Perspective: Issuer
This section focuses on the classification of cookies based on their issuer, distinguishing between first-party and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting (adam-rocska.odoo.com) and are essential for maintaining functionality, user preferences, and session management. In contrast, third-party cookies are set by external services and can be used for various purposes, including tracking and advertising.
First-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are small pieces of data stored directly by the website you are visiting. These cookies are set and managed by Odoo , as the website is hosted using Odoo’s platform. First-party cookies are primarily used to ensure the proper functionality of the site and to improve the user experience by remembering your preferences and activity.
Specifically, first-party cookies on this site serve the following purposes:
- Session Management: These cookies help manage and maintain your session while navigating the website. They ensure that you remain logged in as you move from one page to another.
- Preferences Storage: Cookies store data such as your language preferences, country, and other site-specific settings to enhance your browsing experience on the Site.
- User Authentication: First-party cookies help identify you as a user and maintain secure login credentials during your session.
- Performance & Analytics: First-party cookies also track your interactions on the Site, helping Adam understand user behavior. Initially, these cookies collect anonymized data about page views and navigation, which contributes to website optimization and overall user satisfaction. However, if you provide identifying information (e.g., by registering an account or interacting with the chat), this anonymized data may be linked to your identity to provide a more personalized experience and a clearer understanding of your needs while mitigating redundancy in communication to save you time.
Unlike third-party cookies, first-party cookies can only be accessed by the website that set them (in this case, the Site) and are not shared with external domains. They are an essential tool for improving and personalizing your experience, and without them, certain features of the site may not function as intended.
Cookies on this site are set in accordance with Odoo’s cookie management and data security capabilities and policies, ensuring that your information is handled responsibly and with care.
Third-Party Cookies
Third-party cookies are small pieces of data that are set by a domain other than the one you are currently visiting. On this site, these cookies are established by external services integrated into the website, which may include analytics tools, social media platforms, and advertising networks.
The purposes of third-party cookies on this site may include:
- Tracking and Analytics: These cookies collect data on user behavior across multiple websites, allowing Adam and partners to analyze trends and improve services. They provide insights into how users interact with the site and help identify areas for improvement.
- Advertising: Third-party cookies are often used to deliver personalized advertisements based on your browsing history and interests. This helps ensure that you receive relevant content and offers.
- Social Media Integration: If you interact with social media buttons or widgets on the site, third-party cookies may be set to track your activity and enhance your social media experience.
It’s important to note that third-party cookies may be subject to different privacy policies than those of this site. Users can manage their cookie preferences through their browser settings, allowing them to control how third-party cookies are used.
By understanding both first-party and third-party cookies, you can make informed choices about your online privacy and experience on adam-rocska.odoo.com.
Perspective: Functionality
This section classifies cookies based on their necessity for the core functioning of the website versus their role in enhancing or personalizing the user experience.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are critical for the basic operation of the website. Without these cookies, key functions such as security, session management, and navigation could break down, resulting in a diminished user experience or even rendering parts of the site inaccessible. These cookies cannot be turned off in our systems because they ensure the site works as intended.
Examples of essential cookies include:
- Authentication & Security: These cookies identify users during their session, ensuring that login credentials remain secure. Without them, access to secure areas (like user accounts) would be impossible.
- Session Management: They keep track of your session as you move through different pages on the site, making sure your actions are coherent (e.g., items in a shopping cart, language preferences).
- Load Balancing & Error Detection: Some essential cookies help distribute traffic to optimize performance and detect errors in real-time.
Optional Cookies
Optional cookies enhance functionality and provide a more personalized experience. While these cookies are not critical to the website’s core operation, they allow Adam to improve the site’s performance, analytics, and personalization. These cookies can be toggled off without disrupting essential features.
Examples of optional cookies include:
- Performance & Analytics: These cookies collect anonymized data regarding user interactions and traffic patterns. They help Adam identify what areas of the site need improvement and which features are most used.
- Personalization: Optional cookies can remember preferences such as language, theme settings, or previously viewed products, allowing for a more tailored experience upon returning to the site.
- Advertising & Targeting: These cookies are typically set by third parties and used to deliver relevant ads based on your browsing behavior. They track your activity across different websites, providing insights for more targeted advertising.
Users can opt out of optional cookies via the cookie management tool or browser settings without affecting their ability to use the core functions of the site. By disabling optional cookies, users may lose certain enhancements but still access essential services.
