Last updated: October 12, 2023


besec.digital AG (“besec.digital”, “we”, “our”) and our affiliated entities utilise cookies to recognise you (“user”) when you visit and use our websites (https://besec.digital and associated URLs).


This policy explains what cookies are and how besec.digital uses them. You should read this policy to understand what type of cookies we use, what information we collect, how that information is used, and how you can control the use of cookies.


besec.digital does not store sensitive personal information, such as mailing addresses, account passwords, etc. in the cookies we use. But personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. For further information on how we use, store and keep your personal data secure, please see our Privacy Policy.


Cookies Explained


A cookie is a string of characters that a website returns to a web browser when the web browser is used to visit the website or a specific web page of that website. The web browser stores this cookie as a small file on the computer the web browser runs on. Whenever the web browser is used to visit the same website or web page again, the web browser passes the cookie back to the website. This allows the website to recognize when the same web browser visits the website or web page again. 


Web browsers are likely to be used by a single person and therefore a website may infer that the same person visits the website or web page again. Even when the person is anonymous, the mere sameness can provide the webserver with the otherwise missing link to the history of previous browsing sessions.


Based on the above, cookies can be used to provide valuable functions both to the user and to the website owner. For users, for example, cookies can be used to represent user preferences and other information that help to provide convenience features like pre-filled form data. For website owners, for example, cookies can provide clues about users’ interests and intents. For both, cookies often help to make websites more secure.


Cookies set by the website owner 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 first party website (e.g. like advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these Third Party Cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the first party website and also when it visits certain other websites.


Cookies that remain on the computer the web browser runs on even when the user goes offline or closes the web browser are called “Persistent Cookies”. In contrast “Session Cookies” are deleted as soon as the user closes the web browser.
