What can cookies be used for?
Cookies are most often used to make websites work or be more efficient, as well as to provide information to the website owners. Cookies allow a website to recognize whether users have already visited it or help it understand user preferences. Cookies provide information about which part of the website is the most popular because they show which pages users visit and how much time they spend on them. By studying this data, websites can be adapted to users’ needs and provide an even more diverse user experience. In addition, cookies are used to ensure that the information displayed on each subsequent visit meets the user’s expectations (without you selecting them).
Types of cookies

According to their function
- Strictly necessary cookies – cookies that ensure the proper functioning of the website and facilitate its use. Without the use of these cookies, parts of the website will not function properly, therefore it is not possible to disable these cookies.
- Functional cookies – cookies that allow the personalization of the website by recording the user’s individual preferences. By default, these cookies are always disabled when the website is opened and are only activated with the user’s consent. The user’s consent can be withdrawn at any time by opening the cookie settings on the link.
- Performance cookies– cookies that allow tracking the number of visits and traffic to measure and improve the website’s performance. The website plavitim.hr does not use this type of cookie.

According to their duration
- Session cookies – cookies that are active during the current browsing session and usually have a short expiration time (1-2 minutes to 1-2 days).
- Persistent cookies – cookies that are active for a longer period (even 1 year) than session cookies, which may vary for each cookie, and the same is defined by the website operator.
According to their origin
- First-party cookies – cookies set directly by the website you are visiting. Only the website operator can read them and access the information stored in the cookie.
