TWO TYPES OF COOKIES

We use two types of cookies; session cookies and permanent cookies. Session cookies are deleted when the browser or PC/Device is shut down. Permanent cookies remain and are enabled when you visit the website.

FIRST PARTY COOKIES

Cookies set by the website (Koloxo.com & KoloxoHome.com) are known as First Party cookies. Cookies set by parties that are not affiliated with the website are known as Third Party Cookies. Third party cookies allow features such as advertising and analytics on or through the website. The third-party cookies are able to recognize your PC or device when it visits the website or other certain websites.

SOCIAL MEDIA COOKIES

We also use social media cookies. These cookies are found on websites that allow you to share pages or content through the means of social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We also embed videos from YouTube onto our website. We have no control over social media cookies, however to decline their cookies, please visit their respective websites and follow further instructions.

We use cookies, both first and third party for various reasons. Some of these cookies are required for our website to operate properly as Cookie Statement Whenever you use our online services, including our applications, cookies and other tracking technologies can be used in various ways, such as making the Koloxo.com & KoloxoHome.com website work, to analyze traffic, or for advertisement purposes. These technologies are either used by us directly, or by our business partners, including third party service providers and advertisers we work with. If you want to learn more about what a cookie is, how they are used and what your choices are, please read more here.

WHAT IS A COOKIE?

A cookie is a small amount of data that is placed in the browser of your computer or on your mobile device. So-called “first party cookies” (not as much fun as they sound) are cookies which are served by the entity operating the domain through which the cookie is served. Koloxo.com & KoloxoHome.com own cookies are therefore “first party cookies”. In case we allow others to service cookies through the Koloxo.com & KoloxoHome.com website, these cookies are so-called “third party cookies”.
In addition, there is a difference between session cookies and permanent cookies. Session cookies will only exist until you close your browser. Permanent cookies have a longer lifespan and are not automatically deleted once you close your browser. We strive to serve cookies or allow the serving of cookies with a maximum lifespan of 5 years. Only in exceptional circumstances, such as for security purposes and where absolutely necessary, will a cookie have a longer lifespan than that.
Next to cookies, other tracking technologies are used which are similar to cookies. These can include web beacons (also known as pixel tags, web bugs or gifs), tracking URLs or software development kits (SDKs). A web beacon is a tiny graphic image of just one pixel that can be delivered to your computer as part of a web page request, in an app, in an advertisement or in an HTML email message. Pixels can be used to retrieve information from your device, such as your device type or operating system, IP address, and time of visit. They are also used to serve and read cookies in your browser. Tracking URLs are used to understand from which referring website the Koloxo.com & KoloxoHome.com websites or apps are used. SDKs are small pieces of code included in apps, which function like cookies and web beacons.
All these technologies are together referred to in this Cookie Statement as “cookies”.
