The website rcdisputes.com uses cookies.
The information below aims to provide users with details on the placement, use, and management of cookies used by the rcdisputes.com website. Cookies are used to enhance the visitor’s experience when browsing the site and to provide services tailored to their needs and interests.

What is a “cookie”?
An “internet cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie”, “HTTP cookie”, or simply “cookie”) is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, stored on the user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment used to access the internet. A cookie has two parts: its name and its content (or value), and it has a defined lifetime. Technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when the user returns to the associated website. The cookies by themselves do not require personal data in order to be used and, in most cases, do not identify internet users.
Types of Cookies
There are two main categories of cookies:
– Session Cookies: Created temporarily in your browser’s subfolder while you are visiting a website. They are deleted once you leave the site.
– Persistent Cookies: Remain in your browser’s subfolder and are activated again when you revisit the site that created them. These cookies remain for the period set within the cookie’s file.
What is the lifetime of a cookie?
The lifetime of a cookie varies depending on its purpose. Some cookies are used only for a single session (session cookies) and are not stored after the user leaves the website. Others are stored and reused each time the user returns (persistent cookies). Users can delete cookies at any time via browser settings.
What are third-party cookies?
Some website content may be provided by third parties/providers (e.g., a video). These third parties can place cookies on the site (called “third-party cookies” because they are not set by the website owner). Third party providers also have to observe the legal regulations in force and the confidentiality policies of the website owner.
