.<\/span><\/p>Please read the following information carefully:<\/span><\/p>This website may use both personal and third-party cookies, to provide users with a much better browsing experience and services tailored to each individual\u2019s needs and interests.<\/span><\/p>Because we respect your right to confidentiality, you can choose to block certain types of cookies from this website.<\/span><\/p>Cookies play an important role in facilitating access and delivering the multiple services a user enjoys on the internet, such as:<\/span><\/p>- The customization of certain settings, such as: the language in which a website is displayed, the currency in which certain prices and fares are expressed, retaining options for various products (sizes, other details, etc.) in the shopping cart (and remembering these options), as well as saving certain preferences for future use.<\/span><\/li>
- Cookies offer the website owners valuable feedback about the way in which their websites are used by the users, so that they can understand how to make them more efficient and easier to access.<\/span><\/li>
- They allow multimedia applications or other types of applications from other websites to be included within a particular site in order to create a more valuable, useful and enjoyable browsing experience.<\/span><\/li>
- They improve the effectiveness of online advertising.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>
What is a cookie?<\/b><\/p>
A cookie is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that will be stored on the computer, mobile device or other equipment of a user accessing the internet.<\/span><\/p>A cookie is installed through a request by a web server to a browser (ex. Chrome, Firefox) and is completely \u201cpassive\u201d (it does not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access information from the user\u2019s hard drive).<\/span><\/p>A cookie consists of two parts: the name and the content or value of the cookie. Furthermore, the lifespan of a cookie is determined; technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when the user returns to a website associated with that web server.<\/span><\/p>Cookies themselves cannot request personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.<\/span><\/p>There are two main categories of cookies:<\/span><\/p>- Session cookies – these are temporarily stored in the web browser\u2019s folder so that the browser can remember them until the user closes the browser window or logs out of the respective website.<\/span><\/li>
- Persistent cookies – these are stored on the hard drive of a computer or equipment (and generally depend on the predefined lifespan of the cookie). Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one currently visited by the user – known as \u201cthird-party cookies\u201d – which can be used anonymously to remember a user\u2019s preferences.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>
What are the advantages of cookies?<\/b><\/p>
A cookie contains information that connects a web browser (the user) to a web server (the website). If a browser accesses that web server again, the website can read the information previously stored and react accordingly. Cookies ensure an enjoyable browsing experience for the users and support the efforts of many websites of offering comfortable services to users: ex – preferences regarding online confidentiality, options regarding the website\u2019s language, the shopping cart or relevant advertising.<\/span><\/p>What is the lifespan of a cookie?<\/b><\/p>
Cookies are managed by web servers. A cookie\u2019s lifespan can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies can be used exclusively for one single session (session cookies) and are not retained once the user has left the website and some cookies are retained and reused every time a user returns to that website (permanent cookies). That being said, cookies can be deleted by a user at any given time through the browser\u2019s settings.<\/span><\/p>What are third-party cookies?<\/b><\/p>
Certain content sections on some websites can be provided through third-parties\/ providers (ex. A video, a commercial, a chat application, etc.). These third-parties can place such cookies through the website and they are called \u201cthird-party cookies\u201d because they are not placed by the respective website\u2019s owner. Third-party providers must also comply with the applicable law and the privacy policies of the website owner.<\/span><\/p>\u00a0<\/span>How cookies are used by this website<\/b><\/p>Cookies ensure an enjoyable browsing experience to users and support our efforts to offer comfortable services to users through features such as preferences regarding online confidentiality, the shopping cart or relevant advertising. Additionally, they are used in the preparation of aggregated anonymous statistics, which help us understand how a user interacts with our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content, while excluding the personal identification of the user.<\/span><\/p>A visit to this website can place the following types of cookies:<\/span><\/p>- Essential cookies<\/span><\/li>
- Performance cookies<\/span><\/li>
- Social media and advertising cookies<\/span><\/li><\/ul>
Certain cookies, such as the performance or social media and advertising ones, can come from third-parties.<\/span><\/p>Essential cookies<\/b><\/p>
These cookies allow both the saving of preferences regarding other types of cookies being used, as well as accessing the base features of this website.<\/span><\/p>They retain user preferences on this website so that there is no need to set them each time the website is visited.<\/span><\/p>Registration cookies are generated when a user registers on this site, with the purpose of informing us later whether the user registered or not. Our servers use these cookies to display the account you are registered with and to provide you with a smoother interaction experience on this site.<\/span><\/p>Other cookies that we place to allow you to use the website optimally include shopping cart and Favorites list cookies (used to save information about the products you have added to your cart or marked as Favorites), location cookies (used to determine your location based on your IP address, in order to pre-fill certain fields required during the registration or when placing orders), session cookies generated upon access and automatically deleted when the browser is closed (necessary for the functioning of the HTTP protocol, completing certain forms, interacting with specific elements of the site, etc.), device recognition cookies – desktop or mobile, chat application cookies which enable real-time discussions with customer service.<\/span><\/p>Performance cookies<\/b><\/p>
They include both cookies from traffic analysis services, as well as cookies placed by certain third-party services that provide complementary functionalities to the website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>Traffic analysis cookies allow the aggregated measurement of website traffic, the identification of traffic sources, provide information about the most or least visited pages, as well as how users interact with the website. The information listed is collected in an aggregate manner and is completely anonymous. These cookies may come from third parties such as Web Analytics services (ex. Google Analytics).<\/span><\/p>Social media and advertising cookies<\/b><\/p>
These may be placed through the website by the social media or advertising services we use.<\/span><\/p>This type of cookie can be used by these services to determine a specific profile of visitors and display relevant advertising messages to you on other websites you visit.<\/span><\/p>They may come from third parties such as advertising services (ex. AdSense, AdWords), social media platforms (ex. Facebook, Twitter), etc.<\/span><\/p>Due to the way they are used, this website cannot access these cookies from third parties, the same way third parties cannot access the cookies held by this website. For example, when you share an article using the social media button on this site, that social network will record your activity.<\/span><\/p>What type of information is stored and accessed through cookies?<\/b><\/p>
Cookies store information in a small text file that allows a website to recognize a browser. The web server will recognize the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted. Cookies store important information that enhances the browsing experience on the internet (ex. Keeping a user logged into their account, retaining products in the shopping cart, saving products in the Favorites list).<\/span><\/p>Why are cookies important for the internet?<\/b><\/p>
Cookies represent the central point of the efficient functioning of the internet, helping to create a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to the preferences and interests of each individual. Refusing or disabling cookies may make using a website more difficult.<\/span><\/p>Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising – it only means that such advertising will no longer take into account your preferences and interests, as indicated by your browsing behavior.<\/span><\/p>Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require user authentication through an account):<\/span><\/p>- Content and services tailored to user preferences – news categories, weather, sports, maps, public and government services, entertainment websites and travel services.<\/span><\/li>
- Offers tailored to user interests – remembering passwords, language preferences (ex. Displaying search results in Romanian).<\/span><\/li>
- Retention of parental control filters for internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).<\/span><\/li>
- Limiting the frequency of ad display – limiting the number of times an ad is shown to a specific user on a website.<\/span><\/li>
- Providing more relevant advertising to the user.<\/span><\/li>
- Measurement, optimization and analytics features – such as confirming a certain level of website traffic, what type of content is viewed and how a user reaches a website (ex. Via search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.). Websites perform these usage analyses to improve the sites for the benefit of users.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>
Security and confidentiality related issues<\/b><\/p>
Cookies use plain text formats. They are not made up of code segments, so they cannot be executed or self-run. Consequently, they cannot be duplicated or replicated across other networks for execution or replication. However, cookies can still be used for malicious purposes. Since they store information about users\u2019 preferences and browsing history, both on a specific site and across multiple sites, cookies can be used as a form of spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this and continuously flag cookies for deletion during antivirus\/ anti-spyware scanning procedures.<\/span><\/p>In general, browsers have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity periods and automatic deletion after a user visits a specific site.<\/span><\/p>Other security aspects related to cookies:<\/span><\/p>Since identity protection is very valuable and represents every internet user\u2019s right, it is important to understand potential issues that cookies may create. Because they constantly transmit information in both directions between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes during the data transmission, the information contained in cookies can be intercepted. Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (ex. An unsecured WiFi network).<\/span><\/p>Other cookie-based attacks involve incorrect cookie settings on servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can exploit this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. Attackers may then use the information to gain unauthorized access to certain websites. It is very important to carefully choose the most appropriate method for protecting your personal information.<\/span><\/p>Advice for safe and responsible browsing, based on cookies<\/b><\/p>
Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest websites use cookies, they are almost unavoidable. Disabling cookies will prevent the user from accessing the most widespread and used sites, including YouTube, Gmail, Facebook, Yahoo and others. Here are some tips to help you browse safely while still benefiting from cookies:<\/span><\/p>- Customize your browser\u2019s cookie settings to reflect a level of security that you are comfortable with.<\/span><\/li>
- If you don\u2019t mind cookies and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration periods for storing browsing history and personal login data.<\/span><\/li>
- If you share access to the computer, consider configuring the browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close it. This allows you to access sites that use cookies while deleting any browsing information at the end of each session.<\/span><\/li>
- Install anti-spyware applications and update them regularly.<\/span><\/li>
- Many spyware detection and prevention applications include site attack detection. They prevent the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download harmful software. Make sure your browser is always up to date, as many cookie-based attacks exploit weaknesses in older browser versions.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>
Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the most popular websites on the internet. With a clear understanding of how they operate and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures to browse the internet with confidence.<\/span><\/p>How can you disable cookies?<\/b><\/p>
It is possible to configure your browser so that these cookies are no longer permitted or you can configure the browser to accept cookies only from a specific site.<\/span><\/p>All modern browsers offer the ability to set preferences for cookie storage. These settings are usually found in the \u201cOptions\u201d or \u201cPreferences\u201d menu of your browser. To understand these settings, you can use the browser\u2019s \u201cHelp\u201d option for more details.<\/span><\/p>Useful links<\/b><\/p>
