Cookies are small files that are stored on a computer or mobile device when we visit a website. Cookies allow the website to “remember” a visitor’s activities or settings from previous visits so that it can automatically apply them on the next visit. In this way, the website already “knows” that you have been here before and in some cases adjusts what you see on the screen. Cookies are most often used to remember specific user preferences, to help enter information already entered during previous visits, to collect analytical data, or for promotional campaigns. www.podravka.hr uses so-called cookies – a set of data that serves as your anonymous individual identifier, in such a way that the website sends it to your browser and stores it on your computer. Cookies are used for the functioning of all website features and for a better user experience.

Cookies can be divided into temporary (session cookies) and persistent cookies. Temporary cookies are stored temporarily on the computer and are automatically deleted after closing the web browser. They are used to obtain temporary data such as the status of your shopping cart in the webshop.

Persistent cookies remain stored on your computer even after closing the web browser, but usually have an expiration date. Such cookies are used to facilitate access for registered users and store data such as username and password, enabling the “remember me” functionality when logging in, so that you do not have to enter your username and password every time you visit that website. Persistent cookies can remain stored on a computer for days, months, or even years.

We also divide cookies into first-party and third-party cookies. First-party cookies come from the website you are currently on, while third-party cookies come through advertisements or external services from other websites. First-party cookies are used, in addition to the proper functioning of websites, for statistical monitoring of activities on the website. Data collected for this purpose include the user’s IP address, browser data, language, operating system and other standard statistical data that are collected and analyzed exclusively in anonymous and aggregated form. Third-party cookies are most often used by advertising networks to analyze user behavior across various websites. The purpose of the analysis is profiling users according to demographics, interests and the like – which is most often used for advertising purposes.

But how do cookies actually work?

Cookies store information in the form of “key” and “value” pairs within text files.

For example, cookies can store the language in which you are currently viewing the page. If it is Croatian, the record will usually look like this: language=hr.

When selecting the language for the first time, the website will create and save a cookie via your browser containing the language data. Then, on each subsequent visit, if that cookie still exists, the website will know your choice and display the content in the selected language.

When accessing the website, podravka.hr cookies identify browser parameters, but not the users themselves. In short, the purpose of cookies is well-intentioned, they are not harmful and cannot carry viruses, and they enable a better user experience while browsing.

If you do not agree with the use of cookies, you can easily delete them (or prevent them) on your computer using the settings of the browser you are using. More information on cookie management is available on the pages of the browser you use or at www.allaboutcookies.org.

Since the purpose of cookies is to improve and enable the best possible user experience of using our website and its processes to the fullest extent of their functionality, please note that by preventing or deleting cookies you may disable the functioning of website features or cause different operation and appearance in your browser.

The website www.podravka.hr uses the Google Analytics tool for statistical monitoring of user activity. User activity is monitored to ensure proper functioning of the website and with the aim of improving the site and enhancing user experience. Google Analytics does not enable user identification, although it processes some types of personal data such as IP address. This is achieved by data aggregation and anonymization techniques such as IP address masking.

In order to provide you with a better user experience and efficiently plan future activities, we use the Google Analytics Advertising Reporting Features tool, which provides insight into user gender, age and interest data. These data are based on third-party cookies, are also anonymous, and cannot be used to identify users.

Detailed information about this service and the cookies it uses, as well as about users’ options to regulate tracking of their own activity, is available at: https://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html.

However, websites and web addresses change quickly, and we cannot always guarantee the content of every address to which we direct you.

Podravka d.d. reserves the right to change or discontinue all or any part of this website and the Terms of Use at any time. Changes take effect upon publication at this address or when users are notified thereof. The Terms of Use apply until terminated by you or by Podravka d.d.
