Cookies are small text files that a website leaves on your computer. The website instructs the browser you use to store these cookies on your computer. There are two types of cookies. Session cookies are removed from your computer as soon as you close your web browser. Permanent cookies remain on your computer, even after closing the web browser. By the way, permanent does not mean that they will remain on your computer forever. Most of these cookies will expire over time, although this may take a long time.

Cookies can be placed on your computer by both ourselves and third parties (third-party cookies). Progimpex uses session cookies to keep track of usage data for Google Analytics. Progimpex uses permanent cookies for two reasons: to ensure that you remain logged in and to prevent you from seeing pop-ups too often.

For the latter reason, our advertisers also store third-party cookies on your computer. It is also possible that cookies are stored on your computer via embedded YouTube videos or Facebook posts, and you may encounter third-party cookies from advertisers. Finally, we cannot guarantee that you will not encounter third-party cookies from content, such as links to images, posted by our visitors to our site, for example, in the comments.

You have the right to view, correct, or delete your data.
