What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work efficiently and provide analytical information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Xepybia.com) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following types of cookies for the purposes explained below:

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.

• Functionality Cookies: These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.
• Targeting/Advertising Cookies: These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.
