This website uses cookies, both from its own and from other parties, to provide visitors with a much better browsing experience and services tailored to their needs and interests.

What is a "cookie"?

A "cookie" is a small file, made up of letters and numbers, that will be stored on your computer, mobile phone or other equipment that accesses "the Internet ".

The cookie is installed by requesting a web server to a browser (eg Internet Explorer, Chrome),it cannot contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the user's hard drive.

A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and content or value of the cookie. Furthermore, the cookie's lifetime is determined over time; technically, only the webserver that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that webserver.

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 major categories of cookies:

Session cookies – these are temporarily stored in the cookie folder of the web browser so that it stores them until the user exits the respective web-site or closes the browser window (eg when logging in / logging out to a webmail account or on the social networks).
Persistent cookies – they are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device (and generally depends on the default cookie lifetime). Persistent cookies include those placed by a website other than the one the user visits at that time – known as 'third party cookies’ (cookies placed by third parties) – which can be used anonymously to store a user's interests, so as to deliver the most relevant advertising to users.

What are the advantages of cookies?

A cookie contains information that links a web-browser (the user) and a particular web-server (the website). If a browser accesses that web-server again, it can read the information already stored and react accordingly. Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support the efforts of many websites to provide user-friendly services: ex – online privacy preferences, site language options, shopping carts, or advertising relevance.

How long does a cookie exist?

Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifetime of a cookie may 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 has left the website. Other cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website. ('permanent cookies'). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time through the browser settings.

What are the cookies placed by third parties?

Certain content sections on some sites may be provided through third parties / providers (eg news box, a video or an advertisement). These third parties may also place cookies through the site 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 the law in force and the privacy policies of the site owner.

What kind 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 (eg the language settings in which you want to access a site; keeping a user logged in to your webmail account; online banking security; keeping products in the shopping cart).

Why are cookies important for the Internet?

Cookies are the central point of the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a user-friendly browsing experience adapted to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies can make some sites impossible to use.

Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive 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 user authentication through an account):

Content and services tailored to the user's preferences – news categories, weather, sports, maps, public and government services, entertainment sites and travel services.
Offers tailored to the interests of users – password retention, language preferences (Ex: displaying search results in Romanian).
Retaining child protection filters regarding Internet content (family mode options, safe search features).
Limiting the frequency of advertising – Limit the number of impressions of a particular user's ad on a site.
Providing more user-relevant advertising.
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 (eg through search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.). The websites carry out these analyzes of their use to improve the websites for the benefit of the users.

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 they cannot self-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate again. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses. However, cookies can be used for negative purposes. Because it stores information about users' browsing preferences and browsing history, both on a particular site and on several other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and are constantly flagging cookies for deletion in 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 problems cookies may create. Because through them the information between the browser and the website is constantly transmitted in both directions, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes during the data transmission, 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 (eg an unsecured WiFi network).

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 use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. The attackers then use the information for the purpose of unauthorized access to certain sites. It is very important to be careful when choosing the most appropriate method of protecting 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 sites use cookies, these are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow user access to the most popular and used sites including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others. Here are some tips that can ensure that you do not worry without the help of cookies:

Dacă împărțiți accesul la calculator, puteți lua în considerare setarea browserului pentru a șterge datele individuale de navigare de fiecare dată când închideți browserul. Aceasta este o varianta de a accesa site-urile care plasează cookieuri și de a șterge orice informație de vizitare la închiderea sesiunii de navigare.
