COOKIES POLICY

I. INTRODUCTION

This Cookies Policy applies to all users of the website www.chiulan.ro. The information below aims to inform users about the placement, use, and management of cookies in the context of users browsing this website.

II. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

We use the term “cookies” to refer to browser cookies and similar technologies through which information may be collected automatically. An “Internet Cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie,” or “HTTP cookie,” or simply “cookie”) is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that will be stored on your computer, mobile device, or other equipment used to access the internet. Cookies are installed at the request of a web server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). Once installed, cookies have a determined lifespan; they remain “passive,” meaning they do not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and cannot access information on the user’s hard drive. A cookie is composed of two parts:

  • the name of the cookie; and
  • the content or value of the cookie. 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.

III. FOR WHAT PURPOSES ARE COOKIES USED ON THIS WEBSITE?

Cookies are used to provide users with a better browsing experience and services tailored to the needs and interests of each individual user, namely for:

  • improving the use of this website, including by identifying any errors that may occur during user visits/use;
  • providing anonymous statistics about how this website is used to the [website owner], as the owner of this website;
  • anticipating goods that might in the future be provided to users via this website, depending on the services/products accessed. Based on the feedback provided via cookies about how this website is used, the website owner may take steps to make this website more efficient and accessible for users.

IV. WHAT IS THE LIFESPAN OF COOKIES?

The lifespan of cookies can vary significantly depending on the purpose for which the cookie is set. There are the following categories:

  • Session cookies – A “session cookie” is automatically deleted when the user closes their browser.
  • Persistent or fixed cookies – A “persistent” or “fixed” cookie remains stored on the user’s device until it reaches a certain expiry date (which may be minutes, days, or years in the future) or is deleted by the user at any time using their browser settings.

Users can configure their browser to reject cookies or to accept cookies from a specific website. All modern browsers provide the ability to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the “options” section or in the “preferences” menu of your browser. However, refusing or disabling cookies does not mean you will no longer see online advertising – only that the advertising will not be tailored to your preferences and navigation behavior.
