This website may use cookies, both our own and from third parties, in order to provide visitors with a much better browsing experience and services tailored to the needs and interests of each visitor.

Because we respect your right to privacy, you can choose to block certain types of cookies from this website.

Cookies play an important role in facilitating the access and delivery of the many services that the user enjoys on the Internet, such as:

Personalization of certain settings such as: the language in which a site is viewed, the currency in which certain prices or rates are expressed, keeping options for various products (measurements, other details, etc.) in the shopping cart (and remembering these options), saving certain preferences for future reuse.

Cookies provide site owners with valuable feedback on how their sites are being used by users, so that they can make them even more efficient and user-friendly.

Allow multimedia and other applications from other sites to be included on a site to create a more valuable, useful and enjoyable browsing experience.

Improve the efficiency of online advertising.

What is a Cookie?

A Cookie is a small file, made up of letters and numbers, that will be stored on a user's computer, mobile terminal or other equipment from which the Internet is accessed.

The cookie is installed by a request from a web-server to a browser (e.g. Chrome, Microsoft Edge) and is completely “passive” (it does not contain any 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 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.

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 browser to remember until the user closes the browser window or logs out of the website.

Persistent Cookies - These are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device (and generally depend on the cookie's default lifetime). 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 preferences.

What are the advantages of cookies?
A cookie contains information that links 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 provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support the efforts of many websites to provide user-friendly services: e.g. online privacy preferences, site language options, shopping carts or relevant advertising.

What is the lifetime of a cookie?
Cookies are managed by webservers. 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 no longer retained once the user has left 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 browser settings.

What are third-party cookies?
Certain sections of content on some websites may be provided through third parties/providers (e.g. a video, an advertisement, a chat application, etc). 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 that website. Third party providers must also comply with applicable law and the privacy policies of the website owner.

How cookies are used by this website
Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support our efforts to provide a comfortable user experience through features such as online privacy preferences, shopping cart or relevant advertising. They are also used in the preparation of anonymous aggregated statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content while excluding the user's personal identification.

A visit to this website may place the following types of cookies:

Essential cookies
Performance cookies
Social media and advertising cookies
Some cookies, such as performance cookies or social media and advertising cookies, may come from third parties.

Essential cookies
These cookies allow both to save your preferences with regard to the other types of cookies used and to access the basic functionalities of this website.

They remember the user's preferences on this site, so they no longer need to be set each time the site is visited.

Registration cookies are generated when a user registers on this site, with the purpose of informing us later whether the user is registered or not. Our servers use these cookies to show us the account with which you are registered and to provide you with an easier experience interacting with the site.

Other cookies that we place to allow you to make the best use of the site are shopping cart cookies and favorites list cookies (used to save information about products you have added to your shopping cart or as Favorites), location cookies (used to determine your location based on your IP, for the purpose of pre-filling certain fields necessary for registration or placing orders), session cookies generated on access and automatically deleted when the browser is closed (necessary for the HTTP protocol to function, filling in certain forms, interacting with certain elements on the site, etc. ), cookies that recognize the type of terminal used - desktop or mobile, chat application cookies that allow real-time discussions with the customer service.

Performance cookies
They include both cookies from traffic analysis services and cookies placed by certain third-party services that offer complementary functionalities to the site.

Traffic analysis cookies allow the aggregate measurement of site traffic, identify traffic sources, provide information about the most visited or least visited pages and how users interact with the site. The information listed is collected in aggregate and by default completely anonymous. These cookies may come from third parties such as Web Analytics services (e.g. Google Analytics).

Social media and advertising cookies
These may be placed through the website by the social media or advertising services we use.

This type of cookie may be used by these services to determine a specific visitor profile and to display relevant advertising messages to you on other sites you visit.

They may come from third parties such as advertising services (e.g. AdSense, AdWords), social media platforms (e.g. Facebook, X), etc.

Due to the way it is used, this site cannot access these third-party cookies, just as third parties cannot access cookies owned by this site. For example, when you share an article using the social network button on this site, that social network will record your activity.

What information is stored and accessed through cookies?
Cookies store information in a small text file that allows a website to recognize a browser. The webserver will recognize the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted. The cookie stores important information that enhances the Internet browsing experience (e.g. keeping a user logged into their user account; keeping products in the shopping cart; keeping products in the Favorites list).

Why are cookies important for the Internet?
Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies may make it difficult to use a website.

Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to authenticate through an account):

Content and services tailored to user preferences - news categories, weather, sports, maps, public and government services, entertainment sites and travel services.
Offers tailored to user interests - password retention, language preferences (e.g. displaying search results in Romanian).
Retention of child protection filters on Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).
Limiting the frequency of advertisements - limiting the number of times an advertisement is displayed for a given user on a site.
Providing more relevant advertising to the user.
Measurement, optimization and analytics features - such as confirming a certain level of traffic to a website, what type of content is being viewed and how a user gets to a website (e.g. through search engines, directly, from other websites etc.) Websites run these analytics on their usage to improve their websites for the benefit of users.
Security and privacy issues
Cookies use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code so they cannot be executed or self-run. Consequently, they cannot be duplicated or replicated on other networks to run or replicate themselves again. Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about users' preferences and browsing history, both on a particular site and on many other sites, 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 the anti-virus/anti-spyware removal/scanning procedures.

Browsers generally have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site. Other security issues related to cookies

Since identity protection is very valuable and is the right of every Internet user, it is advisable to be aware of the possible problems that cookies can create. Because they constantly transmit information back and forth between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes in the data transmission, the information contained in the cookie may 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 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 over unsecure channels. Attackers then use the information to gain unauthorized access to certain websites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate way to protect 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 unavoidable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user to access the most widely used and popular sites including Youtube, Gmail, Facebook, Yahoo and others. Here are a few tips that can ensure that you do not have to worry about surfing with cookies:

Customize your browser's cookie settings to reflect a level of cookie security that is comfortable 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 your 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 to access sites that place cookies and delete any visiting information when you close your browsing session.
Install anti-spyware applications and update them 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 dangerous software. Make sure your browser is always up-to-date. Many cookie-based attacks exploit weaknesses in older versions of browsers.

Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the most popular sites on the Internet. With a clear understanding of how they work and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can browse the Internet with confidence.

How can I stop cookies?
It is possible to set your browser to stop accepting cookies or you can set your browser to accept cookies only from a particular website.

All modern browsers offer the possibility to configure cookie storage preferences. These settings are usually found in the “options” or “preferences” menu of your browser. To understand these settings, you can use your browser's “help” option for more details.
