What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the website owners.

Cookies can be “persistent” (remaining on your device until they expire or are deleted) or “session” (deleted when you close your browser). First-party cookies are set by the website you are visiting, while third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one you are visiting.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use on www.nastrum.com, why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further information about how we handle personal data.
