Trackers, like cookies, are self-installed text files, with short content, which are permissible stored on the computer or other electronic devices (e.g. mobile phones, tablets, etc.) of the user of an online platform or application. In this way, the platform or application memorizes your actions and preferences (e.g. language, font size and other display preferences) for a period of time, so you don't have to enter those preferences every time you visit the platform or application or when you browse from one page to another. Trackers make websites work or work more efficiently, provide information to website owners and help users navigate a more user-friendly environment. The tables below describe the trackers (mainly cookies) we use and the reasons why we use them.

A. Whether they are “session cookies” or “persistent cookies”. Session cookies are deleted immediately after the end of browsing and/or after the closure of the browser, while persistent cookies remain stored in the user’s terminal device until they reach a defined expiration date or until the user deletes them. Ferryhopper uses both session and persistent cookies for the better management of its website and app.
