COOKIE POLICY
This website uses small files called “cookies” to help us provide you with the best possible experience when you browse our site. Find out more about cookies and how to manage them below.
If you feel that the information on this page is not sufficient to navigate safely, please contact us.
What is a cookie?
Cookies are small files, made up of letters and numbers, stored by the browser you use (for example: Internet Explorer, Mozilla etc.) to browse the Internet from your PC, laptop or mobile terminal. These small files allow websites to remember and store useful information about the user’s preferences. You can imagine a cookie as a kind of personal memory of each website you visit, so that it recognizes you when you return and reacts by displaying your preferred information as quickly as possible.
How does a cookie work?
The cookie is installed by a request issued by a webserver to an Internet browser and is completely “passive” (it does not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access 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 duration of a cookie’s existence is determined; technically, only the webserver that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that webserver.
Attention: 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 main categories of cookies:
- “Session” cookies – these are temporarily stored in the web browser’s cookie folder so that it remembers them until the user leaves the respective website or closes the browser window (e.g. when logging in/out of a webmail account or social networks).
- “Persistent” cookies – these are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device (and generally depend on the cookie’s default lifespan). Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one the user is currently visiting – known as ‘third party cookies’ – which can be used anonymously to remember a user’s interests so that advertising can be delivered to users in a more relevant way.
What are the advantages of cookies?
A cookie contains information that connects a web browser (the user) to a specific web server (the 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 convenient services to users: e.g. online privacy preferences, site language options, shopping carts or relevant advertising.
What is the lifespan of a cookie?
Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifespan 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 no longer 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 through the browser settings.
What are third-party cookies?
Certain sections of content on some websites may be provided by third parties/providers (e.g. a news box, a video or an advertisement). These third parties may also place cookies through the website and they are called “third party cookies” because they are not placed by the owner of the respective website. Third party providers must also comply with applicable law and the privacy policies of the website owner.
How cookies are used by this site
A visit to this site may place cookies for the purposes of:
- Website performance cookies
- Visitor analysis cookies
- Cookies for geotargeting
- Registration cookies
- Advertising cookies
- Advertising provider cookies
- Performance cookies
This type of cookie remembers the user’s preferences on this site, so there is no need to set them each time you visit the site.
Examples:
- Video player volume settings
- The video streaming speed that the browser is compatible with
Cookies for visitor analysis
Every time a user visits this site, the analytics software provided by a third party generates a user analysis cookie. This cookie tells us if you have visited this site before. Your browser will tell us if you have this cookie, and if not, we will generate one. This allows us to monitor the unique users who visit us and how often they do so.
As long as you are not registered on this site, this cookie cannot be used to identify individuals, they are used only for statistical purposes. If you are registered, we may also know the details you have provided to us, such as your email address and username – these being subject to confidentiality and the provisions of the Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy as well as the provisions of the legislation in force regarding the protection of personal data.
Security and privacy issues
Cookies are not viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code so they cannot be executed or run autonomously. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate themselves on other networks to run or replicate again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.
Cookies can, however, be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about users’ preferences and browsing history, both on a particular site and across multiple sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and consistently mark cookies for deletion as part of their anti-virus/anti-spyware removal/scanning procedures.
Generally, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.
Other security aspects related to cookies
Because identity protection is very valuable and represents the right of every internet user, it is advisable to know what possible problems cookies can create. Because through them, information is constantly transmitted in both directions between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes in the data transmission process, 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).
Other cookie-based attacks involve misconfiguring cookies on servers. If a website does not require browsers to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information over unsecured channels. Attackers can then use the information to gain unauthorized access to certain sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method for protecting your personal information.
Tips for safe and responsible browsing, based on cookies.
Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest websites use cookies, they are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user to access the most widespread and used websites including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.
Here are some tips that can ensure you browse without worries, but with the help of cookies:
- Customize your browser settings regarding cookies to reflect a comfortable level of cookie security for you.
- If you don’t mind cookies and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration times for storing browsing history and personal access data.
- If you share access to a computer, you may want to consider setting your browser to clear individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is an option to access sites that place cookies and delete any browsing information when you close your browsing session.
- Install and update your antispyware applications regularly. Many spyware detection and prevention applications include website attack detection. This prevents your browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download malicious software.
- Make sure your browser is always up to date. Many cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting weaknesses in old browser versions.
- Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and biggest sites on the Internet – local or international. With a clear understanding of how they operate and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can browse the Internet with confidence.
Cookies for geotargeting
These cookies are used by software that determines which country you are from. It is completely anonymous and is only used to target content – even when you are on our page in Romanian or another language you receive the same advertisement.
Registration cookies
When you register on this site, we generate a cookie that tells us whether you are registered or not. Our servers use these cookies to show us the account you are registered with and whether you have permission for a particular service. It also allows us to associate any comments you post on our site with your username. If you have not selected “keep me registered”, this cookie will be automatically deleted when you close your browser or computer.
Advertising cookies
These cookies allow us to find out whether or not you have viewed an online advertisement, what type it is and how much time has passed since you saw the advertisement.
We also use these cookies to target online advertising. We may also use third-party cookies to better target advertising, for example to show holiday ads if the user has recently visited an article on the site about holidays. These cookies are anonymous, they store information about the content viewed, not about users.
We also set anonymous cookies through other sites on which we advertise. By receiving them, we can use them to recognize you as a visitor to that site if you subsequently visit our site, and we can deliver advertising to you based on this information.
Advertising provider cookies
Much of the advertising you find on this site is from third parties. Some of these parties use their own anonymous cookies to analyze how many people have been exposed to an advertising message, or to see how many people have been exposed to the same advertisement multiple times.
The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies, and this site does not have access to read or write these cookies. Third-party cookies may be used to show you targeted advertising on other sites, based on your browsing on this site.
Other third-party cookies
On some pages, third parties may set their own anonymous cookies, in order to track the success of an application or to customize an application. Due to the way it is used, this site cannot access these cookies, just as third parties cannot access the cookies held by this site.
For example, when you share an article using a social media button on this site, that social network will record your activity.
What type of information is stored and accessed through cookies?
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.
The cookie stores important information that improves the Internet browsing experience (e.g. language settings in which a site is accessed; keeping a user logged into the webmail account; online banking security; keeping products in the shopping cart)
Why are cookies important to the Internet?
Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience tailored to each user’s preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some sites impossible to use.
Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising – it just means that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, as evidenced by your browsing behavior.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to authenticate through an account):
- Content and services tailored to user preferences – categories of news, weather, sports, maps, public and government services, entertainment sites and travel services.
- Offers tailored to users’ interests – password retention, language preferences (Ex: displaying search results in Romanian).
- Retention of child protection filters regarding Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).
- Ad frequency capping – limiting the number of times an ad is displayed to a specific user on a site.
- Providing more relevant advertising to the user.
- Measurement, optimization and analytics features – such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed and how a user reaches a website (e.g. via search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.). Websites conduct these analyses of their usage to improve the sites for the benefit of users.
How can I turn off cookies?
Disabling and refusing to accept cookies may make certain sites impractical or difficult to visit and use. Also, refusing to accept cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive/see online advertising.
It is possible to set your browser to no longer accept these cookies, or you can set your browser to accept cookies from a specific site. But, for example, if you are not registered using cookies, you will not be able to leave comments.
All modern browsers offer the ability to change your cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the “options” or “preferences” menu of your browser.
