A cookie (sometimes called a browser cookie, HTTP cookie, Internet cookie, or Web cookie) is a small file sent from a Web server to your computer each time you visit a Web site. If you return to the site later, the browser sends the small file to the server to notify the site of any previous activity you have engaged in on the site. After you return to a site, the server may retrieve the cookie from your local device to help speed up certain functions, such as authentication and retrieving account or user data.

Cookie-urile pot servi multor scopuri utile, cum ar fi amintirea articolelor pe care le-ați avut într-un coș de cumpărături, autentificarea in paginile vizitate pe site și amintirea detaliilor de autentificare, astfel încât să nu fie necesar să le introduceți de fiecare dată când vizitați site-ul. Cele mai frecvente tipuri de cookie-uri sunt cele de autentificare, pe care serverele le utilizează pentru a determina dacă un utilizator este conectat la un site sau nu.

Cookies cannot contain viruses or install spyware or malware on your computer. However, companies may use cookies to track long-term browsing history and store information about the types of products or information viewed. Over time, aggregated information of this type may help site owners push targeted products or information to your browser during your visits.

These files mainly make it possible to recognize the user’s device and present the content in a relevant and friendly way, adapted to the user’s preferences.

Cookies ensure a pleasant browsing experience for users.

 

What cookies do we use?

We use two types of cookies:

  • per session and
  • fixed.
    Session cookies are temporary files that remain on the user’s device until the session ends or the application is closed.

Persistent cookies remain on the user’s device for a period determined by the cookie parameters or until they are manually deleted by the user.

 

How are cookies used by this site?

A visit to this website may place the following types of cookies:

  • website operation,

Strictly necessary cookies and/or similar technologies are essential for the proper functioning of the site, being set on your device when you access the site or following actions performed on the site, as the case may be. You can set your browser to block cookies, but in this case certain sections of the website will not work properly.

 

Do cookies or similar technologies contain personal data?

Cookies or similar technologies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in many cases, do not personally identify Internet users. However, there are situations when personal data can be collected through the use of cookies to facilitate certain functionalities for the user or to provide the user with an experience more adapted to his preferences. Such data is encrypted in a way that makes it impossible for unauthorized persons to access it.

If you want to block cookies, some functions of the site will be stopped, and this may generate certain malfunctions or errors in using our site. For example, blocking cookies may prevent you from:

  • buy online,
  • log in to your account.

 

Managing preferences regarding the placement of cookies

In general, an application used to access web pages allows cookies and/or similar technologies to be saved on the device by default. These settings can be changed in such a way that the automatic administration of cookies is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed each time cookies are sent to his device.

You can manage your browser’s cookies through its settings. The “Help” function in most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to notify your browser when you receive a new cookie, how to disable cookies and when cookies- hours will expire. If you disable all cookies in your browser, neither we nor third parties will transfer cookies to your browser. If you do so, however, you may need to manually adjust certain preferences each time you visit a site, and some features and services may not work.

 

Why are cookies and/or similar technologies important to the Internet?

Cookies and/or similar technologies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to each user’s preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some sites or parts of the site unusable.

Deactivating cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive, in compliance with the law, online advertising – but only that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, highlighted by your browsing behavior.

Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require the authentication of a user through an account):

  • Content and services tailored to user preferences – categories of products and services,
  • Offers adapted to users’ interests,
  • Retention of passwords,
  • Limiting the frequency of serving ads – limiting the number of times an ad is shown to a specific user on a site,
  • Providing relevant advertising to the user,
  • Measuring, optimizing and adapting analytics features – such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed and how a user arrives at a website (eg: via search engines, directly, from other websites etc.).

Websites run these analyzes regarding their use in order to improve their services for the benefit of users.

 

Security and privacy issues

In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a certain site.

Other security aspects related to cookies:

  • Customizing your browser’s cookie settings to reflect a comfortable level of cookie security for you,
  • If you are the only person using the computer, you can, if you wish, set long expiration periods for the storage of browsing history and personal access data,
  • If you share computer access, you may consider setting your browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close your browser.

This is an option to access sites that place cookies and delete any visit information when you close your browsing session.
