II. What are "cookies"?

A cookie is a small file made up of letters and numbers that is stored on your computer, mobile device or other equipment used to access the internet. The cookie is installed through a request sent by a web page's server to the browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely "passive" (it contains no software programs, viruses or spyware and has no access to information on the user's hardware).

III. What are "cookies" used for?

These files make it possible to recognise the user's device and present content in a way adapted to the user's preferences. Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and help www.newviva.bg offer suitable services, such as online privacy preferences, the shopping cart or relevant advertising. They are also used to prepare anonymous statistics that help us understand how users prefer to use our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content without identifying the user.

IV. What "cookies" do we use?

www.newviva.bg uses two types of cookies – session cookies and persistent cookies. The former are temporary files that remain on the user's device until the end of the session or until the application (web browser) is closed. Persistent files remain on the user's device for the period set in the cookie or until they are deleted manually by the user.

V. How does this website use cookies?

• we use "cookies" for the performance of our website. These "cookies" allow us to collect information about how visitors use our website, including which pages they visit most often and whether they receive error messages from certain pages. These "cookies" do not collect information that individually identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and anonymous.

This non-personally identifiable information is anonymous and does not include your name, address, email address or other personal information, but your IP address may be collected.

• Registration cookies;


VI. Do "cookies" contain personal data?

Cookies in themselves do not require personal information in order to be used and in most cases do not identify internet users. Personal data collected through the use of cookies may only be collected to make use easier for the user. These data are encrypted in a way that prevents unauthorised persons from accessing them.

VII. Blocking "cookies".

As a rule, an application used to access web pages allows cookies to be stored by default. These settings can be changed so that the automatic handling of cookies is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed each time cookies are sent to their device. Detailed information on the options and ways of managing cookies can be found in the application (web browser) settings. Restricting the use of cookies may affect some features of the website.

Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies; for example:

· in Internet Explorer (version 10) you can block "cookies" using "Settings", "Internet Options", "Privacy" and then "Advanced";

· in Firefox (version 24) you can block all "cookies" by clicking "Tools", "Options", "Privacy", selecting "Use custom settings for history" from the drop-down menu and unticking "Accept cookies from sites"; and

· in Chrome (version 29) you can block all "cookies" by opening the "Customise and control" menu and clicking "Settings", "Show advanced settings" and "Content settings"

Blocking all "cookies" will have a negative impact on the usability of many websites. If you block "cookies", you will not be able to use all the features of our website – www.newviva.bg.

VIII. Deleting cookies

You can delete "cookies" that are already stored on your computer; for example:

· in Internet Explorer (version 10), you must manually delete the cookie files (you can find instructions at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278835);

· in Firefox (version 24) you can delete cookies by clicking "Tools", "Options" and "Privacy", then selecting "Use custom settings for history" and clicking "Show Cookies"; and


· in Chrome (version 29) you can delete all "cookies" by opening the "Customise and control" menu and clicking "Settings", "Show advanced settings" and "Clear browsing data", ticking "Delete cookies and other site and plug-in data" before clicking "Clear browsing data".

Deleting cookies will have a negative impact on the usability of many websites.

IX. Why are "cookies" important for the internet?

Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the internet, helping to build a profile of each user's preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some sites impossible to use.

Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising, but that it will no longer be tailored to your preferences and interests as derived from your browsing behaviour.

Examples of important roles of cookies (which do not require authentication through an account):

• Content and services adapted to the user's preferences – categories of products and services.

• Offers adapted to the user's preferences – remembering passwords.

• Remembering child protection filters for internet content (family mode, safe search function).

• Limiting the frequency of advertisements – limiting how often a given advertisement is shown to a particular site user.

• Providing advertising that may interest the user.

• Measurement, optimisation and analytics features – confirming a certain level of traffic to a website, what type of content is viewed and how a user reaches a website (e.g. search engines, directly, other websites, etc.). Websites carry out these analyses to improve the site for the benefit of users.

X. Security and confidentiality.

Cookies are NOT viruses! They use a plain text format. They are not made up of pieces of code, so they cannot be executed and cannot run on their own. Consequently, they cannot be duplicated or copied to other networks to run or replicate. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.

Cookies can nevertheless be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about preferences and browsing history, both on a particular site and on most other sites, cookies can be used as a form of spyware. Many


anti-spyware products are aware of this and constantly mark cookies for deletion during removal/scanning/anti-virus/anti-spyware procedures.

Browsers usually have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity periods and automatic deletion after the user has visited a site.

Other security aspects related to cookies:

Since the protection of personal data is extremely important and is the right of every internet user, it is advisable to be aware of the possible problems cookies can create. They constantly send information in both directions between the browser and the website, and if a hacker or other unauthorised person intervenes during data transmission, the information contained in cookies may be intercepted.

In rare cases this can happen if the browser connects to the server over an unencrypted network (e.g. an unsecured wireless network without a password).

Other types of cookie-based attacks rely on incorrect cookie settings on the server. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, hackers can exploit this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information over unsecured channels. Hackers then use the information to gain unauthorised access to websites. It is very important to be careful when choosing the most appropriate protection of personal data.

XI. Tips for safe and responsible cookie-based browsing.

Thanks to their flexibility and the fact that most of the largest and most visited sites use cookies, they are almost unavoidable.

Disabling cookies will not allow the user to access the most widespread and used sites, including YouTube, Gmail, Yahoo and others. All modern browsers offer the option to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the "options" or

"preferences" menu of your browser, where you can customise the use of cookies in your browser.

We use cookies to make the site work properly and to improve our services. More information:Cookie Policy.
