Please read the following information carefully:
In order to comply with the requirements set out in the EU Directive of May 26, 2012, and the provisions of Law no. 506 of November 17, 2004, regarding the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector, all visitors to the website are required to consent before cookies are transmitted to their computers.

This website uses its own cookies and third-party cookies to provide visitors with a much better browsing experience and services tailored to each individual’s needs and interests.

Cookies play an important role in facilitating access and delivering multiple services that users enjoy on the Internet, such as:

Customizing certain settings such as the language in which a site is viewed, accessing old preferences by clicking the “forward” and “back” buttons.

Cookies provide website owners with valuable feedback on how their sites are used by users, so they can make them even more efficient and accessible to users.

They allow multimedia applications or other types of applications from other sites to be included on a specific site to create a more valuable, useful, and enjoyable browsing experience.

WHAT IS A “COOKIE”?
An “Internet Cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie” or simply “cookie”) is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, which will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal, or other equipment of a user accessing the Internet.

The cookie is installed through a request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (it does not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and cannot access the user’s hard drive).

A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and the content or value of the cookie. Furthermore, the lifespan of a cookie is determined; 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.

Cookies themselves do not request personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users.

TWO MAIN CATEGORIES OF COOKIES EXIST:
Session cookies – these are temporarily stored in the web browser’s cookie folder so that it remembers them until the user leaves that particular website or closes the browser window (e.g., when logging in/out of a webmail account or social networking sites).

Persistent cookies – these are stored on the hard drive of a computer or equipment (and typically depend on the predetermined lifespan of the cookie). Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one the user is visiting at the time – known as “third-party cookies” – which can be anonymously used to remember a user’s interests so that more relevant advertising can be delivered to users.

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 provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support the efforts of many websites to provide comfortable services to users: e.g., privacy preferences online, 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 not retained once the user leaves the website, while 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 content sections on some sites may be provided through third-party providers (e.g., news box, video, or advertisement). These third parties can also place cookies through the site, and they are called “third-party cookies” because they are not placed by the owner of that particular website. Third-party providers must also comply with the applicable law and privacy policies of the site owner.

HOW COOKIES ARE USED BY A WEBSITE.
A visit to a website may place cookies to:

Improve website performance.
Analyze visitors.
Geotargetting.
Register users.
Performance cookies
This type of cookie retains user preferences on this site so that they do not need to be set each time the site is visited.
Examples: volume settings for video player, video streaming speed compatible with the browser.

Cookies for visitor analysis
Each time a user visits a site, third-party analytics software generates a user analysis cookie. This cookie indicates whether you have visited this site before. The browser will indicate whether you have this cookie, and if not, it will be generated. This allows monitoring of unique users visiting the site and how often they do so.
As long as the visitor is not registered on the site, this cookie cannot be used to identify individuals; they are only used for statistical purposes. If registered, details provided, such as email address and username, are also kept confidential in accordance with the legislation on personal data protection.

Cookies for geotargeting
These cookies are used by software to determine the country of origin. It is completely anonymous and is used only to target content – even when the visitor is on the page in Romanian or another language, the same advertisement will be received.

Registration cookies
When you register on a site, a cookie is generated to indicate whether you are registered or not. Servers use these cookies to display the account with which you are registered and whether you have permission for a specific service. It also allows any comments posted on the site to be associated with your username. If you have not selected “keep me registered,” this cookie will automatically be deleted when you close the browser or computer.

Other third-party cookies
On some pages, third parties can set their own anonymous cookies for tracking application success or customizing an application.
For example, when you share an article using the social media button on a 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 enhances the browsing experience on the Internet (e.g., language settings for accessing a site, keeping a user logged into their webmail account, online banking security, keeping products in the shopping cart).

WHY ARE COOKIES IMPORTANT FOR THE INTERNET?
Cookies are at the heart of the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to each user’s preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies can make some websites impractical to use.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require user authentication through an account):

Content and services tailored to user preferences – news categories, weather, sports, maps, public and governmental services, entertainment sites, and travel services.
Offers tailored to user interests – password retention, language preferences (e.g., displaying search results in Romanian).
Retaining child protection filters regarding Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).
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 arrives at a website (e.g., through search engines, direct, from other websites).
