COOKIES POLICY
On this website, we collect and use information as indicated in our privacy policy. One of the ways we collect information is through the use of a technology called “cookies.” At Alvar, we use cookies for various purposes.
WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A “cookie” is a small text file that is stored in your browser (such as Google Chrome or Apple Safari) when you browse most websites.
WHAT IS NOT A COOKIE?
A cookie is not a virus, a trojan, a worm, spam, spyware, or a pop-up window.
WHAT INFORMATION DOES A COOKIE STORE?
Cookies do not usually store sensitive information such as login details, photographs, or personal data. Instead, they store technical data, statistical information, personal preferences, content customization, etc.
The web server does not associate cookies with you as a person but rather with your web browser. For instance, if you usually browse using Google Chrome and then switch to Firefox to visit the same website, the site will not recognize you as the same person because it associates the information with the browser, not the individual.
