1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to determine general guidelines for handling Cookies on our digital platforms.
2. SCOPE
This document covers all Assaí business areas.
3. GUIDELINES
3.1. General Guidelines.
Assaí respects your privacy concerns and values its relationship with those who access and use the digital products and services we offer.
3.1.1. Like many companies, Assaí uses technology on platforms to collect information that helps us improve the consumer experience and relations. This Cookies Policy was developed to detail what cookies are, which type of cookies Assaí uses, what information is collected using cookies and what this information is used for. For more details of collection, use, storage and maintenance of secure personal data, see our privacy policy.
3.2. Definition of cookies.
3.2.1. Cookies are small text files that are transferred to a browser or device (such as a cellphone or tablet) that recognize the browser or device, and show how and when Assaí websites, products and services are used. They may be useful for several purposes, such as adapting the size of the website to a screen, better understanding of preferences and offering more efficient service.
3.2.2. Cookies usually expire within a certain time. For example, some cookies are automatically deleted when a browser is closed (so-called session cookies), while others may be stored for longer periods on a device until they are manually deleted (persistent cookies).
3.3. Reasons for using cookies
Assaí uses cookies for the following:
3.3.1. Authentication. The use of cookies and similar technologies to recognize users accessing products and services. These technologies help show the correct information and personalize the experience depending on each user's settings, thus facilitating access and the browsing experience.
3.3.2. For instance, cookies may be used to remember which browser is being used so that a user does not need to authenticate to access their account whenever they want to enter Assaí platforms.
3.3.3. Security. The use of cookies and similar technologies help protect each account and make for safer interactions with Assaí products and services.
3.3.4 For example: using cookies to help detect harmful activity and possible account violations, such as when someone tries to access a user's account without authorization. Cookies are also used to store data that allows you to recover an account if its user forgets their password or requires additional authentication if a user states that their account has been hacked.
3.3.5. Preferences and features. The use of cookies to maximize personalization of browsing experiences and enable the broad functionality of Assaí products and services, storing some of the preferences.
3.3.6. For example: using cookies to help fill out certain registration forms more easily. This technology is also used to remember information about the browser and language preferences, visualize page views and communicate.
3.3.7. Personalized content and advertising. Use of cookies and similar technologies to steer personalized content, including marketing and advertising content, based on information about people's interaction with Assaí platforms.
3.3.8. For example: cookies allow certain interactions made on Assaí products to be remembered, so that when the user returns to the platforms, they may be offered additional useful and relevant information related to each user's profile and preferences.
3.3.9. Social network plugins. Cookies and similar technologies are used to enable plugins from certain social networks when a user chooses to access Assaí's products and services through these networks.
3.3.10. For example: some websites and products allow you to register through social networks, such as with the button “Access with Facebook”. These plugins use cookies and other technologies to provide analytics and recognize each user on these social networks to connect with Assaí products.
3.3.11. Measuring website performance and analysis. The use of cookies to understand how Assaí products and services are being used and therefore improve user experience.
3.3.12. For example: cookies are used to automatically collect certain data for a user's interaction with Assaí website elements to identify how many times a page has been visited or how many people have accessed the page. These cookies help to better understand audiences and how they interact with platforms in order to improve the entire user experience.
3.3.13. In any case, users can always refuse to install the cookies described in this Policy on their device and/or choose to remove these cookies at any time, as per information in the item below headed “How to remove or block cookies” below.
3.3.14. Assaí is not responsible for the use of third-party platforms cookies. Cookies installed on interacting with third-party platforms may continue to monitor users' online activities even after interacting with the platforms, therefore user should clear their browsing history regularly to ensure that their device uses only the technologies of their interest.
