1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of text (letters and numbers) stored on a user's computer, mobile device, or other equipment from which SC World Wide Zoo S.R.L. websites are accessed. Cookies consist of two parts: the name and the content (or value).
2. What are cookies used for?
Cookies help websites remember information about users' visits, such as: preferred language, username and password (so re-registration isn't needed on each visit - only if the user opts for it), device type (computer, mobile phone, etc.) used to access the site, or services/products viewed or added to the virtual shopping cart (if applicable). Cookies simplify the navigation experience and allow site owners to provide more relevant information to users according to their needs.
Cookies aid the efficient functioning of the Internet, resulting in a user-friendly, efficient, and personalized browsing experience. Without them, websites would be much more unpleasant or boring and would not respond efficiently to users' needs.
Moreover, cookies help website owners continuously improve their platforms. Cookies can provide valuable insights into how visitors use the website, allowing for progressively better browsing experiences.
3. What main types of cookies exist?
There are cookies that are deleted as soon as you close your browser (called session cookies) and cookies stored on your device for use during future visits to the site (persistent cookies). Despite the name, persistent cookies also expire after a set period. Persistent cookies reactivate when you return to the site that placed them on your device.
Depending on who places them, cookies can be:
- First-party cookies - placed by us;
- Third-party cookies - placed by other entities (e.g., social media platforms).

The lifespan of cookies varies depending on their purpose. Some cookies are used only for a single browsing session, while others persist for a set period after leaving the site to ease future interactions.

5. Are cookies harmful to my device?
No, cookies are harmless. They do not contain programs, viruses, or other malicious files and cannot access information from the user's device.
