Cookie Usage Policy
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files stored by our website on your device (such as a computer, mobile phone, or tablet) and are essential for the proper functioning of the site. Each time you return to our website, your browser sends these data files back to our server. Cookies are commonly used to identify individual users and store their preferences. In some cases, our website may include third-party content, and in such situations, cookies help monitor traffic and visits to our platform. The data stored in cookies is sent by your browser to the servers hosting our website.
Cookies are installed at the request of a web server through a browser (such as Firefox, Edge, Chrome, Opera, or Safari). Once installed, they have a specific lifespan and remain passive, meaning they do not contain software programs, do not carry viruses or spyware and so not access information stored on the user’s hard drive. Cookies help enhance user experience while ensuring secure and optimized browsing.
2. Why Are Cookies Used?
Cookies are used to ensure the proper functioning of the website and to provide users with an improved browsing experience and information tailored to their interests. Their purposes include:
• Providing anonymous statistics about site usage to the administrator, helping to analyze user behavior, understand which content is most accessed, and optimize the website’s design and content for different devices.
• Remembering user consent regarding the use of non-functional cookies and the display of cookie notification messages.
• Enhancing user experience by storing information such as names and email addresses entered when leaving a comment, allowing for pre-filled fields on future visits.
• Tracking viewed banners (if applicable) to display relevant advertisements to the user.
3. What Is the Validity Period of Cookies?
The lifespan of cookies varies significantly depending on their purpose. Two main categories of cookies determine their duration:
• Session Cookies – These are automatically deleted when the user closes the browser.
• Persistent or Permanent Cookies – These remain stored on the user’s device until they reach a predefined expiration date (ranging from minutes to months) or until the user manually deletes them from the browser settings.
The validity of cookies depends on the specific purpose for which they are set, ensuring either short-term session tracking or long-term customization and functionality.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some content sections on upventa.ro may be provided by third parties rather than by the website itself. These cookies are known as third-party cookies. The providers of these third-party cookies are also obligated to comply with personal data protection regulations and ensure secure and lawful data processing.
5. Customizing Browser Settings for Cookies
If you have no concerns about the use of cookies and your computer or device is used only by you, you may choose to set longer expiration periods for stored browsing history. However, if your device is shared with multiple users, it may be advisable to configure settings to delete individual browsing data each time the browser is closed. These options can be adjusted directly in your browser settings.
6. How to Disable Cookies
Disabling or refusing cookies may make this website more difficult to use and may limit some functionalities. Users can configure their browsers to block cookies entirely, or/and to accept cookies only from specific websites. Most modern browsers allow users to modify cookie settings. These settings are typically found in the “Options” or “Preferences” section of your browser.
