Cookie information

The data controller operated by the https://www.veganbusinesscircle.hu/ (and https://novenyikonferencia.hu/ ) website uses cookies (“cookies”). These files store various information on your web browser. This requires the consent of the data subject, i.e. you, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation Article 6(1)(a) point (1)(a).

In this context, websites that operate within the European Union must obtain the consent of users to use “cookies” and to store them on the user’s computer or other device.

For essential cookies, the legal basis for processing is the General Data Protection Regulation Article 6(1)(f) legitimate interest of the controller.

When using cookies, the Data Controller shall act in compliance with Act C of 2003 on electronic communications, Act CVIII of 2001 on certain aspects of electronic commerce services and information society services, and the relevant provisions of the European Union.

1. Policy on the use of “cookies”

The rules are

https://www.veganbusinesscircle.hu/ (and https://novenyikonferencia.hu/) website.

1. What are “cookies”?

“Cookies” are small files containing letters and numbers. A “cookie” is a means of exchanging information between the web server and the user’s browser. These data files cannot be executed, do not contain spyware or viruses, and cannot access users’ hard disk space.

1. What can “cookies” be used for?

The information sent by “cookies” makes it easier for internet browsers to recognise them, so that users receive relevant and “personalised” content. Cookies also make browsing more convenient, especially when it comes to online privacy and relevant advertising. Cookies” also allow website operators to compile anonymous statistics on the habits of visitors to their sites. These can be used by site editors to further personalise the look and feel of the site and its content.

1. Do “cookies” contain personal data?

Cookies do not contain any personal data, so they do not identify the user. The storage of the data is necessary to facilitate browsing and is done in such a way that it cannot be accessed by unauthorised persons.

1. Types of “cookies” used on websites

Websites can use two types of cookies:

• Temporary “cookies” that remain on the user’s device until they leave the website.
• Persistent “cookies” which, depending on the web browser setting, may remain on the user’s device for a longer period of time or until they are deleted.
• Third-party “cookies”, which are placed on the user’s browser by a third party (e.g. Google Analytics), which are placed on the user’s browser when the website visited uses the services provided by the third party.

Essential session-id “cookies”:

Their use is essential for navigating the website and for the functionality of the website. Without their acceptance, the website or parts of the website may not be displayed or may be displayed incorrectly.

Analytical or performance monitoring “cookies”:

These help to distinguish visitors to the website and allow the website operator to collect data on how visitors behave on the website. These “cookies” may be used to ensure that the website remembers previous logins. They do not collect any information that can identify the data subject, and the data is stored in aggregate and anonymised ( e.g. Google Analytics)

Functional “cookies”:

These cookies are used to improve the user experience. They detect and store, for example, the device the user used to access the website, or information previously provided by the logon user and requested to be stored, such as automatic logon, user changes to the language chosen, text size, font or other customisable elements of the website. These “cookies” do not track the activity of the user on other websites. However, the information they collect may include personal identifying information that the user has previously shared.

Targeted or advertising “cookies”:

These allow websites to provide information (marketing) that is most relevant to the user’s interests. This requires the explicit consent of the user. These cookies collect detailed information about your browsing habits.

1. “Cookies” and data security

“Cookies” are not viruses or spyware. As they are plain text files, they cannot be executed and are therefore not considered programs. However, they may have other intentions (malicious intent) to hide information in the “cookie”, so they can act as spyware. For this reason, antivirus and anti-virus programs may permanently delete the “cookies”.

Since the internet browsing device and web servers are in constant communication, sending data back and forth, if an attacker (hacker) interferes with the process, it can extract the information stored by the “cookies”. One of the reasons for this could be, for example, an inadequately encrypted Internet (WiFi) setting. This vulnerability can be exploited to extract data from the “cookies”.

1. Managing and deleting cookies

You can delete or disable “cookies” in the browser programs you use. By default, browsers allow cookies to be set. You can disable this in your browser settings and delete existing ones. You can also set the browser to notify the user when a cookie is sent to the device. It is important to stress, however, that disabling or restricting these files will degrade the browsing experience and may also cause errors in the functionality of the website.

The options are usually found in the “Options” or “Preferences” menu of the browser. Each web browser is different, so to find the right settings, use the “Help” menu of your browser or the links below to change your cookie settings:

Cookie settings in Firefox
Cookie settings in Chrome
Cookie settings in Safari

To turn off anonymous Google Analytics “cookies”, you can install a so-called “Google Analytics plug-in” in your browser, which prevents the website from sending information about you to Google Analytics. You can find more information on this at the links below:
