Introduction

This document will inform you about how and why Pentera Security Ltd. and its affiliates (collectively, “Pentera,” “we,” or “us”) use cookies. We will also tell you which cookies we use and some information about third parties which also place cookies on our website.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and used in order to maintain and improve our website, to optimize our offerings and marketing activities, and to provide our visitors and users with a better and more efficient experience. For example, they allow us to recognize your device and browser, and store information which we deem of importance for the improvement of our services.

Types of cookies.

  • Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies
    • Session cookies are stored temporarily on the memory of your devices while you are visiting the website and are erased once you close your browser.
    • Persistent Cookies are stored for a predetermined amount of time, which varies from cookie to cookie. It is longer than the session cookies and will remain on your device until they are deleted or expire. They aid us to understand whether you have previously visited our website or similar sites in the past.
  • First Party and Third Party Cookies
    • First Party cookies are set directly by the website or by any of the subdomains of the website.
    • Third Party cookies are set by websites not managed by us, such as third-party providers or other technology partners.

Use of cookies.

Using cookies on our website allows Pentera to:

  • create option settings for logging in that will authenticate you on the website, to keep your login session active, and to remember how you prefer to store your login information;
  • allow us to provide regional content to deliver material specific to a region and keep track of time zone settings;
  • set and save language preferences to choose and remember the language in which material is shown;
  • deliver various content depending on the browser device being used;
  • balance server load in order to optimize your user experience while visiting the website;
  • optimize chat-box functionality including the number of visits, and establish unique identifiers to enable website support staff to view prior issues;
  • collect information about your interests and preferences for the purposes of what is called “interest-based advertising” which allows Pentera to send you offers about products and services tailored to your inferred taste and needs. You may turn off these cookies; however, you may still receive advertisements, with the difference of these not being specifically tailored to you.
