(4) What do we use "cookies" for?

Bfz.hu uses cookies primarily to make our online platforms easier to use, so that we can provide you with a better user experience.

The so-called functional cookies are essential for the functioning of the website, and therefore, they cannot be blocked. Of course, you can delete them in your browser after visiting the website.

In order to develop the website and enhance the user experience, we also use cookies enabling us to collect statistical information about how our visitors use the website. These do not identify you, since they inform us, for example, of the number of visitors or which part of the website was the most popular at a given time. Such cookies are, for example, those of Google Analytics, about which you can find information here.

The aim of marketing or ad cookies is to enable advertisements to be displayed on the website that are engaging and relevant to you. These cookies cannot identify you without your consent, but they are able to collect information, for example about the pages you have browsed or the parts of the website you have clicked on. If you consent, we process the information gathered with the help of cookies on the website so that we can further adapt our marketing communication to your needs and provide you with customized offers.

Through these, the operators of the website can obtain a more accurate insight into user behavior. The aim of Google AdWords and Facebook Pixel cookies is to present you with personalized advertisements based on your browsing history.
