WE USE COOKIES TO IMPROVE YOUR EXPERIENCE.
The information below is intended to inform you about the placement, use, and management of cookies used by our website. In this way, your privacy is protected.
If you would like additional information that is not included below, please contact us at office@nmas-exhibition.com.
Please read the following information carefully.
This website uses first-party and third-party cookies to provide visitors with a better browsing experience and services tailored to individual needs and interests.
In the context of “web 2.0”, cookies play an important role in facilitating access to and the delivery of various online services, such as:
• Personalizing certain settings (e.g., website language, currency used for displaying prices, storing product preferences in the shopping cart).
• Offering website owners valuable feedback on how users interact with their site, helping them improve content and functionality.
• Allowing multimedia or other applications from external websites to be included within a page for a richer browsing experience.
WHAT IS A COOKIE?
An “Internet cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie”) is a small file of letters and numbers stored on the device of a user accessing the Internet.
A cookie is installed at the request of a web server through a browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox) and is completely passive: it does not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware, and cannot access information from the user’s device.
A cookie consists of two parts: the name and the cookie value. Cookies have a limited lifespan and can be read only by the web server that created them.
TWO MAIN CATEGORIES OF COOKIES
• Session cookies – stored temporarily in the browser’s cookie folder until the user leaves the website or closes the browser.
• Persistent cookies – stored on a device for a predetermined duration. These may include third-party cookies, used anonymously to remember user interests for more relevant advertising.
ADVANTAGES OF COOKIES
Cookies enable a link between the user’s browser and the website’s server.
If the browser accesses that server again, the stored information helps the website respond accordingly.
Cookies ensure a smooth browsing experience and support website functionalities such as: online privacy preferences, language settings, shopping cart features, and relevant advertising.
COOKIE LIFESPAN
Cookies are managed by web servers. Their lifespan varies based on purpose.
Some are used only during a session, while others persist and are reused when a user returns to the website.
Users can delete cookies at any time using browser settings.
THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
Certain content on websites may be provided through third parties (e.g., video players, ads).
These parties may also place cookies, known as “third-party cookies”.
Third-party providers are required to comply with applicable law and the website owner’s privacy policies.
WHAT INFORMATION DO COOKIES STORE?
Cookies store small text files that allow a website to recognise a browser.
They store important information that improves browsing (e.g., language preferences, keeping users logged in, online banking security, shopping cart contents).
WHY ARE COOKIES IMPORTANT?
Cookies are essential for the effective functioning of the Internet.
Disabling cookies may make some websites unusable.
Blocking cookies does not eliminate online advertising—only its relevance.
WHY WE USE COOKIES
Cookies do not contain personal data by themselves, but may be connected to data we hold about you.
We use cookies that are necessary for navigation, site usage tracking, remembering your choices, and delivering personalized content or ads.
We use cookie data for:
• Recognising your device when you visit our site.
• Tracking navigation to enable website features.
• Improving user experience.
• Analysing website usage.
• Administering the website.
• Personalizing the website according to your interests.
SECURITY & PRIVACY CONSIDERATIONS
Cookies are NOT viruses. They are plain text files that cannot execute code.
However, they may be used for tracking behaviour, which is why some security tools flag them.
Browsers include privacy settings that allow cookie control, duration management, and automatic deletion.
OTHER SECURITY ASPECTS
Because data is transmitted between browser and server, cookies can theoretically be intercepted on unsecured networks (e.g., unsecured WiFi).
Improper cookie settings on servers may create vulnerabilities.
BLOCKING COOKIES

• Internet Explorer: Tools → Internet Options → Privacy → Block all cookies
