6. What is a cookie?

An “Internet Cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie” or simply “cookie”) is a small file made up of letters and numbers that will be stored on the user’s computer, mobile device or other equipment from which this website is accessed (more details on https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookie).

The cookie is installed by a request issued by a web-server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox) and is completely “passive” i.e. it does not contain any software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the user’s hard drive.

A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and the content or value of the cookie. Furthermore, the lifetime of a cookie is determined, and technically only the web-server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that web-server.

Cookies themselves do not require personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.

There are 2 broad categories of cookies:

Session cookies – these are stored temporarily in the web browser’s cookie file for the web browser to remember them until the user leaves the website or closes the browser window.

Persistent cookies – these are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device for a duration configured by the website that placed it. This type of cookie can be deleted by the user at any time via the browser settings.

7. What are the advantages of cookies?

A cookie contains information that links a web-browser (the browser you use, e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, etc.) to a specific web-server, namely the server that hosts our website. If a browser accesses that web-server again, it can read the information already stored and react accordingly. Cookies ensure a pleasant browsing experience for users and support the efforts of many websites to provide user-friendly services: e.g. online privacy preferences, website language choices, shopping carts or relevant advertising.

8. What is the lifetime of a cookie?

Cookies are managed by web-servers. The lifetime of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are used exclusively for a single session (session cookies) and are not retained once the user leaves the website and some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website (persistent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time.

9. How do we use cookies on this website?

We have classified our cookies into the following categories to make it easier for you to understand why we need them:

Targeting/advertising – these are used to exchange certain information with third parties with whom we advertise, to know how you got to our website. We may also use cookies to identify parts of the website that you are interested in. We then use this information to show you advertisements and pages that we think may be of interest to you, to individualize how we communicate with you, or to individualize the content of the communications we send to you.

If you prefer, you can opt-out. Individualizing content means that it includes information that reflects your interest in the content on our pages or offers or promotions that we think may be of interest to you, and to improve how we respond to your needs.

11. What are third-party cookies?

This type of cookie can be blocked by a user through browser settings.

Please note that we have no control over and are not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of third parties, but third parties are required to comply with applicable law and the privacy policies of the owner of this website.

12. How can you stop cookies?

Disabling and refusing to receive cookies may make certain websites impracticable or difficult to visit and use. Also, refusing to accept cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive/see online advertising.

13. Storing information captured by cookies

The information obtained by cookies is kept highly secure by the web-server, i.e. the server hosting our website.

We assure you that our web-server has to comply with high security requirements regarding the information collected through cookies and is obliged to strictly comply with the obligations imposed by applicable law.

The information we collect about you by accessing our website will not be shared with third parties.

14. Security of personal data

In order to protect the confidentiality of the data and personal information you submit through the use of this website, we maintain physical, technical and administrative safeguards.

We continually update and test our security technology. We restrict access to your personal information to only those employees who need to know that information in order to provide benefits or services to you. In addition, we train our employees on the importance of privacy and maintaining the confidentiality and security of your information.

If a leak of personal data occurs, we will make every effort to eliminate it and to assess a level of risk related to the leak in accordance with our personal data breach policy. If it is determined that the leak may result in physical, material or non-material harm to you (e.g., discrimination, identity theft, fraud or financial loss), we will contact you without undue delay, unless otherwise required by law. All our steps will be taken in full cooperation with the competent supervisory authority.

15. Security aspects related to cookies

Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code so they cannot be executed nor can they autorun. Consequently, they cannot be duplicated or replicated on other networks to run or replicate themselves again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.

Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about users’ preferences and browsing history, both on a particular website and on many other websites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and constantly mark cookies for deletion as part of their anti-virus/anti-spyware deletion/scanning procedures.

In general, browsers have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular website.

As identity protection is very valuable and is the right of every Internet user, it is advisable to be aware of the potential problems that cookies can create. Because cookies constantly transmit information back and forth between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes in the data transmission path, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted. Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (e.g. an unsecured WiFi network).

16. Cookie policy changes

We may update this information document from time to time by publishing a new version on this website. Given that personal data protection laws, interpretations of state bodies, recommendations of supervisory authorities change and improve from time to time, it is expected that this privacy notice and terms of use will also change. We reserve the right to change this notice at any time, for any reason and without notice. Any changes to our privacy policy will be posted on this page so that you are aware of our policies. The provisions contained herein supersede all prior notices or statements of our privacy practices.

17. Tips for safe and responsible cookie-based browsing

Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and biggest websites use cookies, they are almost unavoidable. Disabling cookies will prevent the user from accessing the most popular and widely used websites including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.

But here are a few tips to make sure you can browse worry-free with cookies:

Customize your browser’s cookie settings to reflect a comfortable level of cookie use security for you.
– If you don’t mind cookies and you are the only person using your computer, you can set long expiration times for storing browsing history and personal access data.
 – If you share access to your computer, you may consider setting your browser to erase individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is one option for accessing websites that place cookies and deleting any visiting information when you close your browsing session.
– Install and constantly update your anti-spyware applications.

Many spyware detection and prevention applications include website attack detection. This prevents your browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software. Make sure your browser is always up-to-date. Many cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting weaknesses in older versions of browsers.

Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and biggest websites on the Internet – local or international. With a clear understanding of how they work and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can confidently surf the web.
