COOKIES POLICY
This policy informs you about the cookies implemented on the website www.colibri-diet.com.

In this regard, a cookie widget will appear on the screen, allowing you to make your selections according to your preferences. Our cookies do not retain personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, or banking details. This policy is complemented by the “Privacy Policy,” available on the website www.colibri-diet.com (referred to as the “Site”), regarding the protection of personal data, as well as the “Newsletter Subscription Policy.”
Cookies serve multiple purposes to make the internet browsing experience fast and interactive. For example, they are used to remember browsing preferences on the visited website, provide content that aligns with your preferences, and assist with page navigation. Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online commercial communications, but it means that they will no longer be able to take into account your highlighted preferences and interests based on browsing behavior.
The cookies accepted by users of the website www.colibri-diet.com are used for several purposes, including:
• Optimal functioning of our online platform.
• Monitoring the performance of the website.

Cookies themselves do not request personal data in order to be used by the Operator on its own behalf and, in most cases, they do not personally identify internet users. Personal data processed through the use of cookies can only be collected to facilitate certain functionalities for the user. Therefore, the data is encrypted in a way that makes it impossible for unauthorized individuals to access it.
Because identity protection is highly valuable and represents the rights of every internet user, it is important to be aware of the potential issues that cookies can create. As cookies constantly transmit information between the browser and the website in both directions, and, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes in the data transmission process, the information contained in cookies can be intercepted. Other cookie-based attacks involve incorrect cookie settings on servers. If a website does not request the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can exploit this vulnerability to deceive browsers into sending information through unsecure channels. Attackers then use the information for unauthorized access to certain websites. It is crucial to be cautious in choosing the most appropriate method to protect personal information.
