2. What are cookies?

A cookie is a simple, small file containing personal data that is sent with the pages of www.urbancropsolutions.com and saved by your browser to the hard disk of your computer or other device. The next time you visit our website, the browser returns the data in the cookie to our server or the server of the third party in question.

The term ‘cookie’ also encompasses scripts. These are sets of instructions carried out to ensure our website functions optimally.

Lastly, a ‘cookie’ also encompasses web beacons, pixel tags and social media cookies. These are used to integrate various social networks into www.urbancropsolutions.com. That’s because embedded third-party elements, meaning content stored at a third party, can be displayed on our website. The buttons on the webpages can also be used to share the contents of www.urbancropsolutions.com through social networks (Facebook, Google+, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Disqus and Twitter are examples of social networks).
