What are Cookies?

Cookies (sometimes referred to as browser cookies) are small packets of data that a website stores on your device’s hard drive allowing your internet browser to save and retrieve information about your visit to the website. You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org.

Cookies can also help enable the detection of certain kind of fraud.

How do we use Cookies?

Comtec uses several different type of cookies on our website: Session Cookies: These cookies last for a session which starts when you launch a website or web app and ends when you leave the website or close your browser window.

Session cookies contain information that is stored in a temporary memory location which is deleted after the session ends. Unlike other cookies, session cookies are never stored on your device. Therefore, they are also known as transient cookies, non-persistent cookies, or temporary cookies.

Persistent Cookies: These cookies are stored on a user’s device to help remember information, settings, preferences, or sign-on credentials that a user has previously saved. This helps create a convenient and faster website experience. These cookies have an expiration date issued to it by the webserver. Basically, this type of cookie is saved on your computer so when you close it and start it up again, the cookie is still there. Once the expiration date is reached, it is destroyed by the owner. Persistent cookies track visitors as they move around the website to figure out what people like about the website to help improve the user experience.

How long does Cookies last?

The length of time a Cookie stays on your device varies according to its purpose.

A Cookie that remains on your device after your session is concluded (until it expires or deleted) is called a “Persistent Cookie”. Persistent Cookies are used for different purposes, such as tracking your preferences, login information, your interaction with our Services and the effectiveness of our targeting Cookies.

A Cookie that is automatically deleted once your session is concluded is called a “Session Cookie”. Session Cookies are used for the duration of your stay on our site and are automatically deleted when you exit the browser.

Which Cookies do we use?

If you are primarily concerned about third-party Cookies generated by advertisers, and you live in the US, Canada, Europe or the UK, you can also opt out from the collection of your data by our advertising partners who participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance. Opt-out by visiting:

In addition, on your mobile device (e.g., iPhone, iPad or Android), you can change your device settings to control whether you see online interest-based ads.

Please note that when you get a new computer, install a new browser, erase or otherwise alter your browser’s cookie file (including upgrading certain browsers), you may also clear the opt-out Cookies installed once you opt-out, so an additional opt-out will be necessary to prevent additional tracking.

Do Not Track signals

Some web browsers may transmit “Do Not Track” signals to websites with which the browser communicates, telling the website not to follow its online movements. Because of differences in how web browsers interpret this feature and send those signals, and lack of standardization, it is not always clear whether visitors and users intend for these signals to be transmitted or whether they are even aware of them. Therefore, as many other reputable websites, we currently do not respond to such “Do Not Track” signals.
