2.1. General Provisions

2.1.1. An "Internet Cookie" (commonly known as "browser cookie," "HTTP cookie," or simply "cookie") is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that will be stored on the user's computer, mobile terminal, or other devices used to access this website (for more details, see https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookie).

2.1.2. The cookie is installed through a request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc.) and is entirely "passive" (it does not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware, and cannot access information from the user's hard drive).

2.1.3. A cookie consists of two parts: the cookie's name and its content or value. Furthermore, the duration of a cookie's existence is determined, and only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the associated website.

2.1.4. Cookies themselves do not request personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not identify individual internet users.

2.1.5. There are two categories of cookies: a) Session cookies - these are temporarily stored in the web browser's cookie folder to be memorized until the user leaves the respective website or closes the browser window. b) Persistent cookies - these are stored on a computer's hard drive or device for a duration configured by the website that placed them. These types of cookies can be deleted by the user at any time through browser settings.

All our actions will be taken in full cooperation with the competent supervisory authority.

2.8. SECURITY ASPECTS RELATED TO COOKIES

2.8.1. Cookies are not viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code, so they cannot be executed or auto-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate again.

2.8.2. Generally, web browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period, and automatic deletion after a user visits a particular website.

2.8.3. As identity protection is highly valuable and internet users are the owners of their data, it is essential to be aware of potential issues that cookies may create. If an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes in data transmission, the information contained in cookies may be intercepted. Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to an unsecured server or network (e.g., an unsecured WiFi network).

2.8.4. Other cookie-based attacks involve incorrect cookie settings on servers. If a website does not request the browser to use only encrypted connections, attackers can exploit this vulnerability to deceive browsers into sending information through insecure channels. Attackers may use this information for unauthorized access to specific websites. It is crucial to pay attention to selecting the most appropriate methods for protecting personal information.

2.9. CHANGES TO THE COOKIE POLICY

2.9.1. The Company may update this information document from time to time by publishing a new version on this website.

The Company reserves the right to modify this information document at any time and without notice. Any changes to the Company's privacy policy will be posted on this page, so that users are aware of the Company's policies.
