The cookie is installed by a request sent by the server of a web page to the browser (for example: Internet Explorer, Chrome), and is completely “passive”, i.e., does not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and does not have access to information from the hardware of consumer.

What are cookies used for?

Cookies are widely used to make websites work or to work better and more efficiently. Cookies are necessary for the website www.horizontproconsult.com to work, and to allow you to browse its pages, as well as to use its services and functions.

The latter are temporary files that remain in the user’s device until the end of his user session or until the application (web browser) is closed. Fixed files remain on the user’s device for the period set by the cookies or until they are deleted manually by the user.

Do cookies contain personal data?

By themselves, cookies do not require personal information in order to be used and do not identify the identity of Internet users. Personal data collected through the use of cookies may only be collected to facilitate the use of cookies. This data is encrypted in a way that prevents unauthorized persons from accessing it.

Delete cookies

In general, an application for accessing web pages – the so-called web browser (eg Chrome, Mozilla, Internet Explorer, etc.) allows the storage of cookies by default. These settings can be changed so that the automatic management of cookies is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed each time cookies are sent to him. Detailed information about the possibilities and ways of managing cookies can be found in the settings of the web browser. Restricting the use of cookies may affect some features of the website.

ConvertKit

This website uses the services of ConvertKit to send newsletters.

ConvertKit is a service that can be deployed to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. Whenever you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to a newsletter (eg your email address), the information is stored on ConvertKit’s servers.

Using the ConvertKit tool, we can analyze the performance of our newsletter campaigns. If you open an email that was sent via the ConvertKit tool, a file that is integrated into the email (so-called web-beacon) is connected to the ConvertKit servers. As a result, it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links the recipient has clicked on. Technical information (eg access time, IP address, browser type and operating system) is also recorded at this time. This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. Their sole purpose is to perform statistical analyzes of newsletter campaigns. The results of such analyzes can be used to more effectively tailor future newsletters to the interests of their recipients.

Horizont Pro Consult only collects emails for the purpose of sending mass messages. Upon successful subscription, each user receives an email from ConvertKit to confirm their subscription to the site’s newsletter.

If you do not wish to allow analysis by ConvertKit, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. There is an unsubscribe link in every single newsletter letter.

Security and confidentiality

Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text. They are not made up of pieces of code, so they cannot be executed or run on their own. Therefore, they cannot be duplicated or copied to other networks to start or copy again. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses. Browsers typically have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, expiration date, and automatic deletion once a user has visited a site.

Tips for safe and responsible browsing based on cookies.

Due to their flexibility and the fact that the most visited and largest sites use cookies, the latter are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user to access the most common and used sites, including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.

Here are some tips that can ensure carefree surfing, but with the help of cookies.

Customise your browser settings for cookies to create an appropriate level of protection against the use of cookies.
If you are the only person using the computer, you can set longer deadlines for storing browsing history and access to personal data.
If you share access to your computer with someone, you can set the browser to delete personal browsing data each time you close the browser.
Make sure your browser is always up to date. Many cookie-based attacks are implemented while exploiting vulnerabilities in older and non-updated versions of browsers. Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and biggest websites.

It is possible to set the browser so that these cookies are no longer accepted, or you can set the browser to accept cookies only from certain sites. All modern browsers offer the ability to change cookie settings. These settings are generally in your browser’s “options” or “favorites” menu. To find these settings, you can use your browser’s “help” option for more detailed information.
