1. About Cookies
1.1 General Information
Websites employ intelligent and useful methods to enhance their convenience and make them as engaging as possible for each visitor. One of the best-known methods involves cookies. Website owners or third parties, such as advertisers who advertise on the website you visit, use cookies.
Cookies are small text files that websites store on users’ computers. The information in cookies can also be used to track your browsing across various websites that use the same cookie.
Cookies are classified by duration and by who sets them.
We believe it is important to inform you about the cookies used on our website and their purposes. Our aim is threefold – to ensure your privacy, enhance convenience, and improve our website development. This explanation provides more information about the cookies used on our website and their purposes.
2. Use of Cookies on the rna.lt Website
rna.lt uses cookies to collect statistical data about visitors and to record information about your choices when browsing websites. The purpose of our cookie use is to improve your experience as a visitor to our website.
3. Types of Cookies and Their Functions
Different types of cookies are used for different purposes. Below is a list of the most common types of cookies and their uses:
3.1. Session Cookies
A session cookie is temporarily stored in your computer’s memory while you browse the website, for example, to keep track of your language selection. Session cookies are not stored on your computer for a long time; they always disappear when you close your web browser.
3.2. Persistent or Tracking Cookies
A persistent cookie saves a file on your computer for a long period; such cookies have an expiration date. Persistent cookies help websites remember your information and settings when you visit them in the future. This results in faster and more convenient access, as you don’t need to log in again.
When the expiration date is reached, the cookie is automatically deleted when you return to the website that created it.
3.3. First-party Cookies
These cookies are set by the website itself (the same domain as the browser’s address bar) and can only be read by that site. These cookies are typically used to store information such as your preferences to use them again when you visit the site.
3.4. Third-party Cookies
These are set by different domains (names) than the one shown in the browser’s address bar, i.e., not by the website owner. These cookies, for example, are used to collect information for advertising and user content purposes. Third-party cookies can also be used to collect statistical data.
Because third-party cookies can create more comprehensive surveys of users’ browsing habits, they are considered more sensitive in terms of visitor privacy. Therefore, most web browsers allow you to adjust settings to not accept third-party cookies.
3.5. Flash Cookies
Flash cookies (local shared objects) are data elements that websites using Adobe Flash can store on your computer.
Flash cookies are a new way of tracking your visit and storing more information about you than traditional cookies. One major disadvantage of flash cookies is that you cannot find them in your browser. They are not listed in the cookies list that you see when you check currently stored cookies in your web browser. Regular HTTP cookies can store up to 4 kilobytes of data, while Flash cookies can store up to 100 kilobytes.
Flash cookies have no time limit. They will remain until deleted.
The settings manager can be accessed on the Adobe website but operates locally on your computer. Web storage settings show all Flash cookies currently stored on your computer. You can delete flash cookies from individual sites or all at once. You can also increase or decrease the kilobytes of all information stored on your computer.
Flash cookies will not be stored if you disable the option “Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer” in the general storage settings.
If you want to disable Flash cookies on specific sites, you can do so in the settings manager.
4. Managing Cookies
4.1. How to View Cookies
Since cookies are simple text files, they can be viewed with most text editors or word processors. You can click on a cookie to open it. Below is a list of links on how to view cookies in different browsers. If you use another browser, refer to the cookie information in your browser. If you use a smartphone, check your phone’s manual for more information.
4.2. Enabling/Disabling or Deleting Cookies
You can restrict or block cookies through your browser settings.
If you want websites to not place cookies on your computer at all, you can set your browser to notify you before placing any cookies. You can also adjust your settings to reject all cookies or only third-party cookies. Similarly, you can delete cookies that have already been placed on your computer. Note that you will need to adjust the settings separately for each browser and computer you use.
Please note that if you do not want cookies, we cannot ensure the proper functioning of our website. Some site functions may be lost, and you may not be able to view certain websites. Additionally, rejecting cookies does not mean you will not see any ads. This means that ads will no longer be tailored to your interests and will be more frequently repeated.
Each browser has a different method of adjusting settings. If necessary, use your browser’s help function to set the correct settings.
For more information on disabling cookies on your mobile phone, refer to your phone’s manual.
5. Other/Unforeseen Cookies
Given the way the internet and websites work, we do not always know about cookies placed by third parties on our website. This is particularly true in cases where our website contains so-called embedded elements: texts, documents, images, or short movies that are stored on another party’s site but displayed on or through our website.
Therefore, if you encounter such cookies on our website that we have not listed previously, please let us know. Alternatively, contact the third party directly and ask what cookies they placed, why they do so, the cookie’s lifespan, and how they ensure your privacy.
