Hey all, I’m sorry I didn’t explain it to you already, but I thought you have had an experience with this on other sites already. I would like to explain you what are cookies, who use them, why they are used and why there is such kind of pop-up displaying on our web.
What are cookies? Definition
Cookies are usually small text files, given ID tags that are stored on your computer’s browser directory or program data subfolders. Cookies are created when you use your browser to visit a website that uses cookies to remember your registered login, preferences, and other customization functions.
Every website you are Signed Up to(CakesDecor, gmail, facebook, pinterest, instagram, twitter, eShops you are ordering tools from …etc. ), uses cookies to store your login information and account settings. Also, almost all websites(I would say 99%) that you don’t have to Sign Up, use cookies to store some data as well. These information helps the web to remember some important information.
It is probably not important to inform visitors about this anywhere all over the world but in Europe Union. Europe Union released Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations the other day that order us to inform you that we are using cookies to store some data.
I get this pop-up every day on lot of websites, so I thought it is pretty common for all of you. But it seems it’s only here in Europe.
