On this page you will find more information about cookies, cookies used by iCulture and how you can influence cookies

What is a cookie and / or a cookie? tracker?

A cookie is a piece of text given to a web browser by a web server, in the hope that the browser will return a follow-up visit. In addition, the parties can also work with a tracker. These are pieces of code that keep track of where somebody clicks and then save that information. For the readability of this document, we use the term cookie to indicate both cookies and trackers.

The cookie is a complement to the HTTP specification. The hypertext transfer protocol is used by anyone who visits a website: it controls the communication between a web server and a browser. However, it is not designed to see consecutive page visits as a whole. This makes it impossible to retrieve data or settings during a follow-up visit.

In order to make this possible, in 1997, the cookie and set-cookie headers for HTTP were introduced. This specification was last updated in April 2011 and is currently in operation as an RFC 6265 HTTP status management mechanism.

Contrary to what politicians sometimes claim, cookies are not programs themselves. Also no files, and technically nothing is stored by the web server on the visitor's computer. The latter can decide entirely on the browser itself. Finally, cookies are often stored as a file, but a web server can not force a browser to store cookies or return them at a later visit.

A cookie is always linked to a specific domain or subdomain. Examples of a domain and a subdomain are respectively iculture.nl and forum.iculture.nl

Cookies are only sent back to the same domain from which they are sent. are coming. You are therefore certain that only iCulture servers receive cookies previously obtained via iCulture. In addition, javascript can access iCulture only cookies that have been placed by iCulture.

An important point of cookies is that they can be received with every http request and that all known and relevant cookies are sent with each request. This also applies to requests that request images, javascript files and CSS files for a web page. Of course, domain control is also applied.

First Party Cookies

The cookies that you receive for the same domain you visit are called first party cookies. When viewing this page, iCulture cookies are therefore proprietary cookies

Third Party Cookies

It is also possible that a website contains third-party items. Well-known examples are embedded videos, ads, social media buttons, surveys, tables, or the content widgets of our partners. If cookies are sent with these items from their own servers, they are called third-party cookies. It is therefore possible that when you visit iCulture, third parties get cookies for Facebook.com, Youtube.com and other third party websites.

Due to the operation of HTTP and the protection of cookies, it is at the first party concerned. – in our example, iCulture – not possible to influence the sending of third-party cookies

What other storage is available for websites?

In addition to cookies, there have been more storage options since 1997 the browser has appeared. As iCulture does not serve much, they are only briefly discussed.

Local Html5 storage is a recent development. Web applications can use it to store relatively large amounts of data compared to cookies. Due to limited support in browsers, iCulture does not use it at the moment

Which cookies are used on iCulture?

With cookies, it is possible to retrieve information about previous visits during follow-up visits. This is used in practice to keep track of the fact that you are logged in, that you have made some settings and that you have already seen some elements of the site. Cookies that adapt the operation of the site to your wishes are called functional cookies.

In addition, cookies can also be used to inform the site that a visitor has already visited the site. In this way, statistical data on the use of the site can be collected. A well-known example of this is Google Analytics. This only uses anonymized statistical information that we use to analyze and improve the functioning of the site. iCulture currently uses Google Analytics to collect statistics. They are covered by functional cookies and no explicit authorization is required.

Information about your visiting behavior can also be used to tailor advertisements to your centers of interest. iCulture only uses anonymous information on pages you have visited previously on iCulture.

Visitor profiles compiled by iCulture using internal cookies will never be shared with third parties and will only be used for the quality and relevance of iCulture.

What other cookies can they place when they visit iCulture?

iCulture is a large community. Users can include comments under articles and on the forum, write product reviews, place purchases and advertisements, and open blogs.

With each of these activities, users can include images and videos of others. Third-party cookies may be placed for each of these images and videos, without the knowledge and cooperation of iCulture.

iCulture also regularly publishes third-party content. This is the case, for example, of the different social media buttons that allow you to share messages on iCulture via Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and / or Twitter.

Cookies are also used when advertising. These cookies are used to measure how often an advertisement is displayed and what interactions are made on or with advertising, such as clicking on a banner. By placing such cookies, we can also use what is called a frequency limitation; such a limit ensures that you come into contact with a particular advertisement a maximum of x times.

In addition, advertisers often use a media agency to offer the campaign to them. In these cases, the media agency often places cookies to measure and optimize campaigns.

iCulture advertising terms state that advertisers' and media agency's cookies may be used to collect statistics. In addition, iCulture grants limited permission to advertisers and media agencies to recognize you as a visitor to iCulture and other websites and to post more relevant advertisements based on this. Because there are many parties working in the advertising world, it is not possible to give a complete list of possible areas, but below we list which providers you could receive a cookie by example. These partners may combine this information with other information that you have provided to them or that they have collected based on your use of their services.

How can I refuse cookies?

Without cookies, it is almost impossible for us to offer you the best experience as a visitor when visiting the site. This has to do with analyzing web statistics to determine how the site should look and navigate, but also to determine what content is popular and what is not actually read by our visitors.

iCulture is a site here that is largely comprised of information placed by users. We can not guarantee that messages, comments and other forum content will never contain cookies. Although iCulture is not obliged to ask for third party authorization for these cookies (the responsibility lies with the third party, for example YouTube), we are obliged to delete the content at the time the third party does not. did not ask permission. . This would mean that at the moment a single person is complaining about an image or a video, this should be removed for everyone, or should develop a technology that can filter individual content for each individual user. This is practically impractical in practice. By default, hiding or filtering content posted by users to avoid this would seriously affect the user's experience.

In addition, we also need cookies to serve advertisements. Without advertising revenue, it is not possible to keep the site as it exists for free and develop it further. At iCulture, many people work daily to write news and reviews, build and renew technology behind the site and the application, etc. In short; without cookies and also advertisements an iCulture is not possible in this form.
