Cookies

The Company’s Websites / Applications use cookies for their ongoing and proper operation, including for the collection of statistical data on the use of the Websites / Applications, for the verification of details, the adaptation of the Websites / Applications to your personal preferences and for information security needs.

Cookies are text files created by your browser upon command from the Company’s Websites/ Applications. Some cookies will expire when you close your browser and others are stored on your computer’s hard drive.

Cookies contain information such as the pages you visit, the location of browsing, the length of time you spent on Websites/ Applications, information you wish to see when you log in, and more. Cookies are also used to obviate the need to enter your information each time you revisit some of the Company’s Websites / Applications that require registration. The Company takes precautionary measures to ensure that only its servers can read and understand the information stored therein.

If you do not want cookies to be used on your computer, you can avoid them by changing your browser settings. Please consult your browser’s help file for this purpose. Remember, however, that disabling the cookies may result in you being unable to use some of the services and features on the Company’s Websites / Applications and even other sites.

In addition, you can delete the cookies on your computer at any time. It is suggested that you do so only if you are certain that you do not want the Websites / Applications to be adapted to your preferences. Because cookies sometimes exempt you at times from the need to enter usernames and passwords, do not delete them unless you are sure that you first noted down in a safe place all the information needed to use the Websites / Applications.

Advertisements by third parties

Some of the services on the Company’s Websites / Applications are managed by the Company’s trading and content partners. These services are provided through the computers of those partners and not from the Company’s computers. During your use of these services, you may be asked to provide personal information or that information about you is collected. Use of this information is subject to the privacy policies of these service managers and not to the Company’s Privacy Policy, and therefore it is recommended that you review their privacy policy documents as well.

The Company allows some companies to manage the ad submission system at its Websites / Applications and/or uses systems from other companies. The ads that you view when visiting the Company’s Websites / Applications come from the computers of those companies and their advertisers. In order to manage advertisements, these companies place cookies on your computer and embed “web beacons” in advertisements or on the pages of the site. The beacons are tiny graphical files with unique identifiers, embedded in web pages, whose function is to help gather information about the viewing and use of the site. The information collected does not identify you personally, but only wishes you to adapt the advertisements shown you with topics that interest you. The use of cookies and web beacons made by these companies is subject to their privacy policies and not to this policy of the Company.

Data Security

The Company applies information security systems and procedures on its Websites / Applications. These systems and procedures mitigate the risks of unauthorized penetration and/or disclosure of information, but do not provide absolute security. Therefore, the Company does not undertake that the services at its Websites / Applications will be completely immune from unauthorized access to the information stored therein.

Right to review information

Pursuant to Article 13 of the Protection of Privacy Law, 5741 – 1981, every person is entitled to review himself or by his representative whom he has authorized in writing or by his guardian, information that is kept in a database. A person who has reviewed the information on it and found that it is incorrect, incomplete, unclear or not up-to-date, may contact the owner of the database with a request to amend or remove the information. If the owner of the database refuses to comply with this request, he must notify the applicant of the fact in the way and manner prescribed in the Regulations. The refusal of the owner of the database to allow a reviewing and the notice of his refusal to amend or delete information, may be appealed by applicant asking for the information before the Magistrate’s Court in the way and manner prescribed in the Regulations.

In addition, if the information in the Company’s databases is used for the purpose of contacting you personally, based on your affiliation to a population segment, determined by one or more characteristics of persons whose names are included in the database (“solicitation of a commercial offer”), then you are entitled under the Protection of Privacy Law to demand in writing that the information relating to you will be deleted from the database. In this case, the Company will delete within 30 days information it requires only for the purpose of contacting you with commercial offers as aforesaid. Information required by the Company for the conduct of its business – including documentation of commercial and other activities performed by you on the Company’s Website / Application – will continue to be kept by the Company under law but will no longer be used for contacting you.

Uploading content on websites/ applications

The Company does not wish to receive from you any content or information that is confidential or protected by any rights and you are required to refrain from uploading and publishing on the websites / applications any such information.
