Why Cookies on the Rema website?
To offer you more service when visiting websites, most sites use cookies. This is a useful technique for collecting and storing information, which makes websites easier to use. For example, cookies are what allow you to stay logged into a website or ensure that your preferences, such as location and language settings, are saved. They are also used to keep track of the contents of your shopping basket when you shop online. With cookies, website owners can also see how often their sites and which pages are viewed by visitors. Moreover, some cookies make it possible to track your surfing behaviour. This way, sites and advertisers can learn a bit about your preferences so they can show more relevant ads. In most cases advertising revenue is necessary to pay for the website. Thanks to cookies, it is more likely that the ads will show something you are actually interested in.
