What are cookies? Cookies are small files that certain platforms, such as web pages, can install on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or connected TV. Their functions can be quite varied: storing your browsing preferences, collecting statistical information, enabling certain technical functionalities, and more. Cookies are sometimes used to store basic information about the user’s browsing habits or their device, to the point where, in certain cases, they can recognize the user.
Why are cookies important? Cookies serve various purposes. From a technical perspective, they allow websites to function more smoothly and be tailored to your preferences, such as storing your language or country’s currency. Additionally, they help website operators improve their services based on the statistical information they collect.
Types, Purpose, and Operation of Cookies Cookies can be divided into session cookies or permanent cookies based on their duration. Session cookies expire when the user closes the browser. Permanent cookies expire based on the goal they serve (for example, to keep the user identified on the pages of www.greenzenbonsai.com) or when manually deleted.
Furthermore, based on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows: Performance Cookies: This type of cookie remembers your preferences for tools found on the pages, so you don’t have to reconfigure them every time you visit. For example, this category includes: Volume settings for video or sound players. Video streaming speeds compatible with your browser.
Geolocation Cookies: These cookies are used to determine the country you are in when browsing the web. This cookie is completely anonymous and only used to help tailor content to your location.
Registration Cookies: Registration cookies are generated once the user registers or logs in, and they are used to identify the user on pages for the following purposes: Maintaining user identification, so if the user closes a page, the browser, or the computer and returns to this page at a later time or day, they will remain identified, thus facilitating navigation without needing to reidentify. This functionality can be suppressed if the user clicks the “logout” functionality, thereby deleting this cookie. The next time the user accesses the page, they will need to log in to be identified. Checking if the user is authorized to access certain pages, for example, to participate in a contest.
In addition, some pages may use connectors with social media networks like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, or Twitter.

The user can delete this cookie and revoke access to the pages via social media by updating their preferences on the specific social network.
Analytics Cookies: Each time a user visits a page, an analytical cookie is generated on the user’s computer by an external provider’s tool (in our case, Google Analytics). This cookie, generated only during the visit, will serve in future visits to the pages of www.greenzenbonsai.com to anonymously identify the visitor. The main goals pursued are: Enabling the anonymous identification of browsing users through the “cookie” (identifying browsers and devices, not individuals) and thus approximating the count of visitors and their trends over time. Anonymously identifying the most visited and therefore more attractive content to users. Determining if the accessing user is new or a repeat visitor.
Important: Unless the user decides to register on the website www.greenzenbonsai.com, the “cookie” will never be associated with any personal data that could identify them. These cookies will only be used for statistical purposes that help optimize user experience on the site.
