Please read the following information carefully:

This website may use both its own cookies and third-party cookies to provide visitors with a much better browsing experience and services adapted to each one's needs and interests.

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

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

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

Improve the efficiency of online advertising.

What is a Cookie?

A 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 from which the Internet is accessed.

The cookie is installed through a request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox) and is completely "passive" (it does not contain 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. Moreover, 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.

There are 2 main categories of cookies:

Session cookies - these are temporarily stored in the web browser's cookie folder for it to remember them until the user closes the browser window or logs out of that site.
Persistent cookies - these are stored on a computer or equipment's hard drive (and generally depend on the preset lifespan 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 remember a user's preferences.

What are the advantages of cookies?

A cookie contains information that links a web browser (the user) and 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 offer comfortable services to users: e.g., online privacy preferences, 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 no longer retained once the user leaves the website, and some cookies are retained and reused every time the user returns to that website (permanent 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 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 site and 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 site owner.

How cookies are used by this site

Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support our efforts to offer comfortable services to users through functionalities such as online privacy preferences, shopping cart, or relevant advertising. They are also used in preparing aggregated anonymous statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content, excluding personal identification of the user.

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

Essential cookies
Performance cookies
Social media and advertising cookies

Certain cookies, such as performance cookies or social media and advertising cookies, may come from third parties.

Essential cookies

These cookies allow both the saving of preferences regarding other types of cookies used and access to the basic functionalities of this site.

They retain user preferences on this site, so there is no need to set them every time the site is visited.

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

Other cookies we place to allow you optimal use of the site are cookies corresponding to the shopping cart and favorite lists (with the role of saving information related to the products you have added to the cart or as favorites), location cookies (used to determine your location based on IP, with 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 functioning of the HTTP protocol, completing 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 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 aggregated measurement of site traffic, identification of traffic sources, provide information about the most visited or least accessed pages, as well as how users interact with the site. The listed information is collected in an aggregated and implicitly completely anonymous manner. 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 site by the social media or advertising services we use.

This type of cookie can be used by these services to determine a certain profile of visitors and to display relevant advertising messages 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 they are used, this site cannot access these third-party cookies, just as third parties cannot access the cookies owned by this site. For example, when you share an article using the social media button on this site, that social network will record your activity.

What type of information is stored and accessed through cookies?

Cookies keep 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 improves 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 adapted to each user's preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies can make it difficult to use a site.

Refusing or deactivating cookies does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising – it simply means that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, as evidenced by your browsing behavior.

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

Content and services adapted to user preferences - categories such as news, weather, sports, maps, public and governmental services, entertainment websites, and travel services.
Offers tailored to users' interests - remembering passwords, language preferences (e.g., displaying search results in Romanian).
Retention of child protection filters for Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).
Limiting the frequency of ad delivery - limiting the number of times an ad is displayed to a specific user on a website.
Providing more relevant advertising to the user.
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, directly, from other websites, etc.). Websites conduct these usage analyses to improve the sites for the benefit of users.

Security and Privacy Issues

Cookies use plain text formats. They are not made up of code snippets, so they cannot be executed or self-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate themselves on other networks to run or replicate again. However, cookies can be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about users' preferences and browsing history, both on a specific site and across multiple other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and constantly flag cookies for deletion during anti-virus/anti-spyware deletion/scanning procedures.

In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity periods, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a certain site. Other security aspects related to cookies

Since identity protection is very valuable and represents every internet user's right, it is advisable to know what potential problems cookies can create. Because information is constantly transmitted both ways between the browser and the website through them, if an attacker or unauthorized person interferes with the data transmission path, the information contained in the cookie can 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 request the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. Attackers then use the information for unauthorized access to certain sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method for protecting 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 sites use cookies, they are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user access to the most widespread and used sites, including Youtube, Gmail, Facebook, Yahoo, and others. Here are some tips that can ensure you browse worry-free but with the help of cookies:

Customize your browser's cookie settings to reflect a comfortable level of security for your cookie usage.
If you don't mind cookies and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration times for storing browsing history and personal access data.
If you share access to the computer, you can consider setting the browser to delete individual browsing data every time you close the browser. This is an option to access sites that place cookies and to delete any visiting information when closing the browsing session.
Install anti-spyware applications and update them constantly.

Many spyware detection and prevention applications include detecting site attacks. This prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software. Make sure your browser is always updated. Many cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting the weaknesses of old browser versions.

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 configure the browser so that these cookies are no longer accepted, or you can configure the browser to accept cookies only from a specific site.

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 the “help” option of your browser for more details.
