The Travel Management Cookie Policy describes the different types of cookies that may be used in connection with the website https://travelmanagement.bg, owned and operated by us. This policy provides information on how cookies are used and how you can manage them.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small files used for internet access that are stored on a user’s computer, mobile device, tablet, or other equipment.
Cookies are installed upon request from a webpage server to your web browser (such as Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, or Mozilla) and are entirely “passive” (they do not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and do not have access to user hardware information).
Why Do We Use Cookies?
Cookies help the website function more efficiently. They are necessary for navigation within the website and for using its services and features. Without these essential cookies, the website may not work as smoothly as expected, and we may not be able to provide you with certain services or functions.
Cookies are also used for anonymous statistical analysis, helping us understand how users interact with the website and our mobile applications, which allows us to improve their structure and content without identifying the user.
What Types of Cookies Do We Use?
We use two types of cookies:
- Session cookies – temporary files that remain on the user’s device until the end of the session or until the website (or web browser) is closed.
- Persistent cookies – files that remain on the user’s device for a predefined period set by the cookie or until they are manually deleted by the user.
What Are the Purposes of the Cookies We Use?
- Processes – Ensure that the website functions as expected.
- Preferences – Store information about your preferred settings and the way you use our services. For example, we use a cookie to remember whether you have declined to share your device’s location.
- Notifications – Enable notifications for important information or options that enhance your experience. For example, we use a cookie to prevent a registration notification from appearing repeatedly if you have already seen it or signed up.
- Analytics – Help us understand how users interact with the website. For example, we use a cookie to analyze how our search suggestions align with your search behavior.
Do Cookies Contain Personal Data?
Cookies themselves do not require personal information to function and generally do not identify users. Any personal data collected through cookies is encrypted to prevent unauthorized access and is used solely to enhance your user experience.
How to Delete Cookies
By default, web and mobile browsers allow cookies to be stored. These settings can be changed to block cookies automatically or notify the user when a cookie is being sent. Detailed information on managing cookies can be found in your browser’s settings. Restricting cookies may impact the functionality of the website.
Security and Privacy
Cookies are not viruses! They are simple text files and cannot execute code, duplicate, or spread across networks. Because they do not perform these actions, they are not considered viruses.
Most browsers include built-in privacy settings that allow users to manage the acceptance, lifespan, and automatic deletion of cookies after visiting a website.
Tips for Secure and Responsible Browsing with Cookies
Due to their widespread use, cookies are almost unavoidable when accessing popular websites like YouTube, Gmail, and Yahoo. Disabling cookies may prevent access to some of the most widely used websites.
Here are some tips for secure browsing while using cookies:
- Customize your browser settings to determine the level of cookie protection that suits your needs.
- If you are the only person using your device, you can set longer storage durations for browsing history and personal data access.
- If you share your computer, configure your browser to delete personal browsing data upon closing.
- Ensure your browser is always updated, as vulnerabilities in outdated versions are commonly exploited by cyber threats.
Most modern browsers allow you to modify cookie settings, both for desktop and mobile use. These settings are usually found in the “Options” or “Preferences” menu of your browser.
