Usage of “cookies”

What are cookies and why are they needed?

“A cookie is a small text file that is downloaded to an “end device” (such as a computer or smartphone) when a user accesses a website. It allows the website to function properly, recognize the user’s device and store certain information about the user’s preferences or past actions (e.g. language selection, font size, login, etc.) that are stored for a certain period of time so that you do not have to enter information again.

When loading the www.kex.bg page and viewing its contents, cookies are used to allow it to function properly, optimize how it works, and collect aggregate information for statistical purposes and page traffic.

When we use Google plugins, for example Google AdWords, Google processes your personal data. For more information, please read here and here.
