In other words, cookies allow websites to adapt to their visitors. Thus, most sites cannot function completely without them. Cookies do not allow website operators access to visitors’ systems. Their storage, modification or deletion is done exclusively by the browser at the request of a site. A site cannot in any way access the cookies of another site with which it is not correlated. A user can configure their browser to refuse the storage of cookies – this will instead result in the impossibility of offering full services from most sites. By using the ghortin.com site, according to the notification present at the first display, you give your consent to the use of cookies. This preference is also retained in the form of a cookie and will be lost once it is deleted or expires.
