IST Hungary Cookies Policy.
Please read this Cookies Policy (“Cookies Policy”) carefully before using the website https://isthungary.hu/ (“Our Site”) operated by IST Hungary (“we”, “us”, “our”) and it sets the basis on which we use Cookies. This Cookies Policy supplements the Privacy Policy. By using our website, you acknowledge that you accept this Cookies Policy, our Privacy Policy and that you agree to be bound by such terms and conditions. If you do not agree to our terms and conditions, you must not use our site. By continuing to browse our site, you consent to our use of Cookies.

We have implemented a Cookies Policy as part of our initiative to not only comply with the law, but also to ensure that we are open and clear with you about what happens when you visit our Site.
What are Cookies?
A Cookie is a small text file made up of letters and numbers that is sent to and placed on your device (such as a computer, smartphone, tablet or any other internet enabled device) by a website you have visited, if you agree. This allows the website to “remember” who you are. When you visit the website for the first time, a cookie is stored on your device. The next time you visit that website, your device checks to see if a cookie has previously been downloaded from that website. If a match is found, the information contained in that cookie is then sent back to the website. The website recognizes that you have visited it before. Cookies make interaction between you and the website faster, easier and more efficient. Most websites you visit use Cookies to improve your experience of using the website by allowing that website to “remember” you either for the duration of your visit (using “session Cookies”) or for repeat visits (using “persistent” Cookies). If a website does not use cookies, it will think you are a new visitor every time you go to a new page on the website. For example, if cookies are not enabled, when you enter your login details and go to another page, the website will not recognize you, so you will not be able to continue logging in. You will therefore have to log in again each time you visit a new page on the website. Cookies may be set by the website you visit (“first party cookies”) or they may be set by other websites that host content on the page you are viewing (“third party cookies”). In some cases, the information contained in Cookies will be used by the website to customize the content you display. Have you ever wondered how websites offer personalized product recommendations? Among other things, they use Cookies to determine which products you have previously purchased and to review product pages you have previously visited to offer you a more personalized online shopping experience.
What information is stored in cookies?
A cookie usually contains:
The name of the website the cookie came from
The expiration date of the cookie (i.e. How long the cookie will be stored on your device)
A value, which is usually a randomly generated, unique number
When you visit our website, any Cookies placed by us allow us to determine whether or not you have previously purchased something from us. These Cookies do not contain personal information about you.
What do we use Cookies for?
We use Cookies for a variety of reasons.
Some Cookies are necessary for the site to function, so we enable these Cookies automatically when you arrive at the site. Other Cookies files allow us to provide the services and features that are most likely to meet your needs and customize our service to make your experience faster and easier.
The Soocies files allow us to:
Identify and confirm your identity when you log in to our site
Remember you when you return to our site so that we can offer a more personalized experience by providing content and offers tailored to your preferences
To collect anonymous aggregate statistics that allow us to understand how you use our site — we cannot identify you personally from this information

There are many ways we use Cookies, but they generally fall into the following main categories:
Strictly Necessary Cookies

Targeting / Advertising Cookies
Third party cookies are used to deliver content that is more relevant to your interests. They are used to deliver targeted advertisements or to limit the number of times an advertisement is viewed. In addition, they are also used to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns placed on our site and other third-party sites. These cookies record your visit to our site, the pages you visit and the links you click on. We may also share this information with third parties for the same purpose.
Do we use third party cookies?
Third party advertising companies
Our site may use third-party advertising companies to place banner advertisements about our products and services on other sites. To measure the effectiveness of these advertising campaigns and to offer selective advertising content, the advertising companies may use an anonymous identifier (such as cookies or web beacons) to learn more about your visits to our and other websites. This anonymous identifier is NOT your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, password or any other information that identifies you personally. Web beacons (also known as web beacons / pixel tags / transparent GIFs) track the behavior of visitors to websites and may provide third-party companies with information about what users do on websites. These third-party cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the advertising organizations and are not covered by our Cookies Policy.
Social Media
If you take the opportunity to ‘share’ our content with friends via social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, you will be sent cookies from these sites. We have no control over how these cookies are set, so we recommend that you look at third party websites for more information about their cookies and how to manage them.
What happens if I don’t enable cookies?
We recommend that you allow the use of all cookies during your search so that we can provide you with the richest possible experience and inform you of offers that may be useful to you. You can choose whether to allow us to enable all third party cookies when you visit our site (see “How can I control or delete Cookies?”). If you choose not to enable cookies, you will still be able to browse our Site, but key aspects of the Site may not work on your device.
