A Cookie is a small file with a string of letters and numbers which is created on your device when you are browsing websites. Cookies serve as unique identifiers to distinguish your visits from the visits of other users. Cookies can also be used to store your personal preferences on websites or to save your login data.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) is a regulation which was issued by authorized bodies of the European Union to greatly improve the protection of personal data for all individuals within the EU.
Legitimate interest means that we can process your personal data if we have a genuine and legal reason to do so and that we are not harming your rights and interests. In our case, it means that when our website gathers information about your visit, we use this data for our legitimate business interests to provide you with outstanding software products and services. Before doing this, though, we also carefully consider and balance any potential impact that it may have on you and your rights.
Personal data means any information that identifies you or helps in the determination of your potential identification along with any information that relates to you in that case.
