Cookie notice

On our website we use “cookies”. These are small files that store information in your web browser. Their use requires your consent.
We use cookies in accordance with Act C of 2003 on Electronic Communications, Act CVIII of 2001 on Certain Issues of Electronic Commerce Services and Information Society Services, and the applicable regulations of the European Union.

Websites operating within the European Union must ask users for consent to store cookies on the user’s computer or other device.

This Cookie Policy applies to the cookies used on the website www.marinadogspa.hu.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files containing letters and numbers. A cookie is a tool for exchanging information between the web server and the user’s browser.
These data files cannot be executed, do not contain spyware or viruses, and cannot access the contents of the user’s hard drive.

What are cookies used for?

With the help of the information sent by cookies, internet browsers can be recognised more easily, so users receive more relevant, “personalised” content.
Cookies make browsing more convenient, for example by supporting online data security needs and relevant advertising.

Website operators can also use cookies to create anonymous statistics about visitors’ browsing habits. These statistics help us further tailor the design and content of the website.

They do not collect information that can directly identify you; the data is stored in aggregated and anonymous form (e.g. Google Analytics).

Their role is to improve user experience. They detect and store, for example, which device you used to open the site, or data that you previously provided and asked the site to remember: automatic login, selected language, text size, font type, or other custom interface settings. These cookies do not track your activity on other websites, but the information they store may contain personal data you have provided.

Do cookies contain personal data?

Most cookies do not contain personal information and cannot be used to identify users.
Stored data is necessary for a more convenient browsing experience and is kept in a way that prevents unauthorised access.

Why are cookies important on the internet?

Cookies make browsing more convenient for users, as they allow content and advertisements to be adjusted based on previous browsing history.
Blocking or restricting cookies may render certain websites unusable. Even if cookies are disabled, advertisements will still appear, but they will not be tailored to the user’s interests.

Examples of cookie usage:

Displaying content, services and products tailored to user needs
Offers adapted to the user’s interests
Remembering login status when requested (“keep me logged in”)
Remembering parental control / safe search settings
Limiting how often an advertisement is displayed
Displaying relevant ads for the user

Security and data protection aspects

Cookies are not viruses or spyware. As simple text files they cannot be executed and therefore are not programs.
However, it is technically possible for information to be stored in cookies with malicious intent so that they function like spyware. For this reason, some security or antivirus programs may treat cookies as elements to be deleted.

Since devices and web servers constantly communicate, if an attacker gains unauthorised access to this data flow, the information stored in cookies could be exposed. One possible reason is the use of improperly secured internet (e.g. WiFi) connections.

Managing and deleting cookies

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. By default, most browsers allow cookies to be placed on your device.
You can disable this in your browser settings and delete existing cookies as well. You can also set your browser to notify you whenever a cookie is being sent to your device.
