II. 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, that will be stored on your computer, mobile terminal or other equipment of a user from whom the Internet is accessed.

The cookie is installed by the request issued by a web server to a browser (eg Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (does not contain software, viruses or spyware and can not access the information on the hard drive user).

A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and content or value of the cookie. Moreover, the lifespan 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 major categories of cookies:

1. Session cookies – these are temporarily stored in the cookies folder of the web browser so that it can store them until the user leaves the respective website or closes the browser window (eg when logging in / out on a webmail account or on social networks).
2. Fixed cookies – these are stored on the hard drive of a computer or equipment (and generally depend on the default lifetime for the cookie). 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 memorize a user’s interests so that the most relevant advertising for the user is delivered.

III. What are the advantages of cookies?

These files mainly make it possible to recognize the user’s terminal and present the content in a relevant way, adapted to the user’s preferences.

Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support Panilino’s efforts to provide more user-friendly services, eg: – online privacy preferences, shopping cart or relevant advertising.

They are also used in the preparation of aggregated anonymous statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content, without allowing the user to be personally identified.

IV. What is the lifetime of a cookie?

Cookies are administered 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.
(permanent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time via browser settings.

A visit to a website may place cookies for:

geotargetting;

2. Cookies for visitor analysis

3. Cookies for geotargetting
These cookies are used by a software that determines which country you come from. It is completely anonymous and is only used to target the content – even when the visitor is on the page in Romanian or in another language, the same advertisement will be received.

4. Cookies for registration

V. Why are cookies important for the internet?

Cookies are the focal point of the efficient operation of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Declining or disabling cookies may make some sites impossible to use.

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

Content and services tailored to user preferences – categories of news, weather, sports, maps, public and government services, entertainment sites and travel services.
Offers adapted to users’ interests – password retention, language preferences (eg displaying search results in Romanian).
Retention of child protection filters on 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 gets to a website (eg through search engines, directly from other websites) uri).

Websites conduct these analyzes of their use to improve the sites for the benefit of users.

VI. 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, nor can they be self-executed. As a result, they cannot be duplicated or replicated on other networks to run or replicate. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.

However, cookies may be used for negative purposes. Because it stores information about users’ 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 and constantly mark cookies to be deleted during anti-virus / anti-spyware deletion / scanning procedures.

In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of acceptance of cookies, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.

Tips for safe and responsible browsing based on cookies.

Customize your browser settings for cookies to reflect a comfortable level of cookie security for you.
If you share access to your computer, you can consider setting your browser to clear individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is a way to access the sites that place cookies and to delete any visit information at the end of the browsing session.
Install and constantly update your antispyware applications.
Many of the spyware detection and prevention applications include site attack detection. This prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download malicious software.

VII. How do you stop cookies?

Disabling and refusing to receive cookies may make certain sites impractical or difficult to visit and use.

It is possible to set in the browser so that these cookies are no longer accepted or the browser can be set to accept cookies from a specific site. But, for example, if a visitor is not registered using cookies, they will not be able to leave comments.

All modern browsers offer the ability to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the Options menu or in the browser’s Favorites menu.
