Privacy Policy

This website uses cookies to make it more user-friendly.

If you use simpa's login there will be a cookie placed with your login info, if you check "remember me." In the Examples section, a cookie is placed so the message box stops appearing after the first time — if you don't allow cookies in your browser, a message will appear letting you know cookies were not allowed. When using the webshop, a cookie is placed to remember which products you want to order, then deleted after you complete the purchase. When choosing another page color from the start page, this is saved in a cookie to keep your settings, while a session cookie only exists for 20 minutes and can be renewed after an event.

There is also the possibility of using local storage, but local storage can only be accessed client-side.

A cookie is a *.txt file which is placed on your PC. In Internet Explorer it is usually placed in this folder:
C:\Users\(your pc username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies\Low

Cookies can be read by hackers if you access their page and they know the name of the cookie — that way they can spy on you or use the info to hack you. Usually, though, cookies are encrypted and their lifetime is shorter when they contain sensitive information. For example, Facebook uses cookies at login, and now uses a new login API which eliminated some safety issues. You can find a Facebook login example in the Examples section.
