www.bareteledtv.com uses cookies to remember information about people who order and use the website, and how they use it.

The following information aims to inform you about the placement, use, and management of cookies used by www.bareteledtv.com. There are also useful links related to this subject. If you need more information that is not found below, you can contact us using the information on the contact page.

Please read the following information carefully:

This website uses cookies (both first-party and third-party) to provide visitors with a better browsing experience and services tailored to their needs and interests. In “Web 2.0”, cookies play an important role in facilitating access and delivery of multiple services that the user enjoys online, such as:

  • Personalizing certain settings such as site language, currency, saving product options in the cart, helping with shopping cart flexibility;
  • Providing site owners feedback about how users use their sites;
  • Allowing multimedia applications from other sites to be embedded to create a better browsing experience;
  • Improving online advertising efficiency.

1. What is a cookie?

An “Internet Cookie” (also known as a browser cookie or HTTP cookie) is a small file composed of letters and numbers, stored on a user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment used to access the Internet. The cookie is installed by a web server request to a browser and is completely passive (it does not contain software, viruses, or spyware and cannot access user hard drives).

A cookie consists of two parts: its name and its content/value. Its lifespan is determined, and only the web server that sent it can access it when the user returns to the site. Cookies generally do not request personal data and usually do not identify individual users.

2. What are the advantages of cookies?

Cookies link a web browser (user) to a web server or website. If the browser accesses the server again, it can read stored information and respond accordingly.

Cookies provide a pleasant browsing experience and help websites offer convenient services (e.g., privacy preferences, language options, shopping carts, relevant ads).

3. What is the lifespan of a cookie?

Cookies are managed by a web server. Lifespan varies depending on purpose: session cookies last only for a session; persistent cookies are stored and reused each time the user returns. Users can delete cookies at any time via browser settings.

4. What are third-party cookies?

Some content sections on certain websites may be provided by third parties (e.g., a YouTube video or an advertisement). These third parties can also place cookies through the website, called “third-party cookies,” because they are not set by the website owner. Third-party providers must comply with applicable law and the website owner’s privacy policies.

5. How are cookies used by this site?

A visit to this site may place cookies for:

  • Performance cookies: remember user preferences so they do not have to be set on each visit;
  • Visitor analytics cookies: generated by third-party analytics software (e.g., Google Analytics) to track user visits and frequency. If registered, additional details such as email and username may be included;
  • Registration cookies: generated when you register to track if you are logged in, associate comments with your username, and manage access permissions;
  • Other third-party cookies: set by third parties to track app success or customize apps; this site cannot access these cookies, nor can third parties access this site’s cookies.

6. Why are cookies important for the Internet?

Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping create a smooth browsing experience adapted to each user’s preferences. Disabling cookies may make some sites unusable. Refusing cookies does not prevent online ads but limits personalization based on browsing behavior.

  • Content and services adapted to user preferences: news, weather, sports, maps, public services, entertainment, travel;
  • Offers adapted to user interests: remembering passwords, language preferences;
  • Child protection filters for online content (family mode, safe search);
  • Limiting ad display frequency;
  • Providing more relevant advertising;
  • Analytics: monitoring traffic, content viewed, and how users reach a site to improve services.

7. Security and privacy issues

Cookies are NOT viruses. They use plain text and cannot execute themselves. Cookies cannot duplicate or replicate. However, cookies can store browsing history and preferences, which could be misused as spyware. Anti-spyware products monitor and delete such cookies.

Browsers provide privacy settings to control cookie acceptance, lifespan, and automatic deletion.

8. Other security aspects of cookies

Because identity protection is valuable, it is important to know potential risks. Cookies transmit information between browser and website, which could be intercepted if using unencrypted networks (e.g., open WiFi). Misconfigured cookies on servers can also pose risks.

9. Safe and responsible browsing with cookies

Cookies are hard to avoid on major sites like YouTube, Gmail, and Yahoo. Tips for safe browsing with cookies:

  • Customize browser cookie settings for comfort and security;
  • If using a personal computer, long-term cookie storage is possible;
  • If sharing a computer, consider deleting browsing data on session end;
  • Install and update anti-spyware software;
  • Keep browsers up to date;
  • Always use logout buttons when leaving accounts.

10. How to stop cookies?

Disabling cookies may make some websites impractical. Refusal does not prevent ads. Browsers allow cookie setting adjustments for all or specific sites. Registration may require cookies. Links for instructions are provided for Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, and third-party cookies.
