Welcome to www.nathaliebanaszak.com! In the below Cookie Policy, we (me and the third parties used in offering this website) inform you about the use of cookies on my website.
Why do we have a Cookie Policy?
The provision of information about our use of cookies is required and set out in the Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (“PECD”) and in parts of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection Act (“PDPA”). However, and before we can go into more detail, we first need to understand what cookies are.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. If you then return to the same website, the website recognizes the cookie and remembers your device, and the choices you have made, and acts in accordance with the specific objective a cookie has. As such cookies have a name and value and one or more defined characteristics, which are returned to the website as “user- related” information. So, thanks to cookies, a website knows who you are and offers you your usual default settings.
Origins and Lifespans of Cookies
There are however classes of cookies, namely first-party cookies which are placed directly by the website. As well as third-party cookies which are created by a partner website or server. And since it would not be very beneficial if all cookies would save the same information for the same period of time, each cookie stores different data and has a lifespan (that can vary from a few minutes to a few years). In this sense, we now understand that cookies are automatically placed in the cookie folder, effectively the “brain” of your browser and that each can have a different origin, holds different information, and can have a different lifespan depending on its objective. Because of that, there are several types of cookies.
Types of Cookies
The least privacy-invasive type of cookies is Essential or Necessary cookies. These cookies are essential or necessary to ensure that a website works properly and is secure so that you can navigate a website and use its features. Without these cookies, certain features of a website would not function, and thus you would not be able to use certain services.
There are also Functional cookies or sometimes called convenience cookies. These cookies allow a website to remember the options a user has made (including user IDs stored, consent given, or languages selected) and other personalization options you have selected when browsing.
Further, there are also Analysis and performance cookies, which are used to monitor and improve the function and service of a website. Those can track down problems when using a website, facilitate online surveys, record visitor numbers, and provide analytics metrics.
Lastly, advertising cookies or targeting cookies. They are used to deliver customized advertising to the user. This can be very convenient, but also very annoying.
The Cookies used on my website
The PECD requires asking for your consent when using specific cookies (in particular any cookie that is not strictly necessary for the operation of the website, for example, Functional cookies, Analysis and performance cookies Advertising cookies, or targeting cookies).
Further and as the PDPA and the GDPR also require a legal basis for the use of personal data in relation to cookies, the use of cookies would then be your consent as well as our legitimate interest.
However, as we think it’s important that you should have full control over your privacy online, we refrained from placing cookies that are not strictly necessary and as such we are not required to obtain any consent. Nonetheless, this may change, and we ask you to regularly check this policy for any updates.
How can I delete cookies?
Regardless of which service or website the cookies come from, you always have the option to delete, only partially allow or disable cookies. To do so follow the link to your browser Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Flash cookies, Microsoft Internet Explorer/ Edge, Opera, or Safari.
Validity and questions
This Cookie Policy was last updated on Friday, 04 November 2022, and is the current and valid version. However, we point out that from time to time due to actual or legal changes a revision to this policy may be necessary.
