  • Use of "cookie” files (“cookies"): "Cookies" are small text files that are saved on your computer when you visit our website. If you have access to this website at some point, your browser sends back the contents of "cookies" on the relevant provider and thus allows re-identification of the terminal. Reading "cookies" allow us to design our website optimal for you and makes it easy to use.

We may use the information for: security purposes; to facilitate navigation; for more effective presentation of the information; to customize the interface during your usage of the Colonnade Electronic Services or to collect statistical information on the usage of the Colonnade Electronic Services.

Below is a description of possible "cookie" files that we use on our Bulgarian website, what is their purpose, what data we collect and how we use them.

  1. "Cookie” for geographical positioning (Geo Location “cookie”) - When a user visit one of our websites for the first time, we read his/her location from his/her IP address and use this information to assume the website of which country the user would like to visit. But this method is not completely accurate, so when the user chooses to visit the website of certain country, we use “cookie” files to save this information and the language chosen to review the website. The next time the user visits the website, we read the "cookie" files and provide access to the website visited by the user last time. This is done in order to provide convenience and the users do not have to re-choose the website they want to explore. When using "cookie" files we do not collect or use personal data.
  2. Site Catalyst “cookie” (by Adobe) - This file allows the collection and analysis of data about how users reach our website and how they work with it, including what products they look for, content reviewed and the steps leading to making a sale or not making a sale. We use this aggregated information to tailor our websites, so they better serve the needs and interests of our customers and to provide more relevant and useful information to the customers. "Cookie" files are stored only temporarily on the visitor's computer. These files do not collect and use personal data. They write anonymous code that serves to authenticate users and this code "follows" the user during his navigation through our website.
  3. Analytical "cookie" - The analytical "cookie" is used to record user behavior (e.g. clicking on advertising banners, entered search queries) and to evaluate the user’s actions statistically.

  5. Advertising "cookie" to third parties - We also allow other companies to evaluate data of our customers by advertising "cookies". This allows us and third parties to show users of our website ads based on interests, shown after the analysis of their behavior (e.g. clicks on advertising banners, visited subpages, search queries entered) and it is not limited to our online offers.
  6. Forwarding „Cookie“- Our referral partners set cookies on your computer ("forwarding cookie") if you have reached our website through advertising by the affiliate. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days.

The information collected through the forwarding cookie is used to generate referral statistics and to determine the total number of users, clicked on the ad and directed to a page that is provided with a referral tracking tag.
  7. DoubleClick “cookie” – We put "cookie" files to track pixels of the visitor’s computers for the purposes of our website banner ads. We use these files, so we know if that user has visited our website before and then to show him appropriate banner ad on a website of our partner network.
