What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that certain websites store on your computer or mobile device. On this website, cookies are used to improve your browsing experience.

A “cookie” is installed through a request sent from a webpage’s server to your browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (it contains no software programs, viruses, or spyware and cannot access user hardware information).

Why Cookies Are Used
These files allow the website to recognize the user’s device and present content tailored to the user’s preferences. Cookies enhance the user experience during internet navigation and assist the company in providing user-oriented services, such as preferences for language, screen settings, and privacy policy consents. Cookies are also used for compiling anonymous statistics, helping us understand how users prefer to use our website, thereby enabling us to improve its structure and content, without identifying the user personally.

What Cookies Do We Use
Gasterm Ltd. uses two types of cookies—session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary files stored on the user’s device until the end of the user session or closing of the application (web browser).
