What is a “cookie”?

An “Internet Cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie” or simply “cookie”) is a small file, made up of letters and numbers, that will be stored on a user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment from which the Internet is accessed.

The cookie is installed through a request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is entirely “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. Furthermore, the duration of a cookie’s existence is determined; technically, only the webserver that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the associated website.

Cookies themselves do not require 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 until the user leaves the website or closes the browser window (e.g., when logging in/out of a webmail account or social networks).

Persistent cookies – These are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device (and generally depend on the pre-established lifespan of the cookie). Persistent cookies also include those placed by another website than the one the user is visiting at that time – known as ‘third-party cookies’ – which can be used anonymously to remember a user’s interests so that the most relevant advertising is delivered to users.

From the point of view of the operator placing cookies, there are:

first-party cookies – placed by the owner of the visited website

third-party cookies (cookies placed by third parties) – placed by the operator of a different website than the one visited. These third parties must also comply with the law and the privacy policies of the website owner where they place cookies.

From the point of view of the purposes for which cookies are placed, there are typically the following categories of cookies: strictly necessary, for measurement, for analysis and improvement of website performance, and for promotion (targeting and advertising).

Details regarding the typology and description of all known types of cookies can be found by following this link: https://cookiepedia.co.uk.

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 server again, it can read the stored information and respond accordingly. Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support many websites’ efforts to provide user-friendly services, e.g., preferences for online privacy, site language options, shopping carts, or relevant advertising.

How long does a cookie last?

Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifespan of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on its purpose. Some cookies are exclusively used for a single session (session cookies) and are not retained once the user exits the website. In contrast, 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 through browser settings.

How are cookies used by this site?

A visit to this site can place cookies for:

Performance cookies

Visitor analysis cookies

Geotargetting cookies

Registration cookies

Advertising cookies

Advertiser cookies

These cookies may come from third parties, such as social media pages like Facebook, Google, Adform, and others.

Performance cookies

This type of cookie remembers the user’s preferences on this site, so they don’t need to be set every time the site is visited.

Examples:

• Volume settings for the video player
• The video streaming speed that the browser is compatible with

Visitor analysis cookies

Each time a user visits this site, third-party analytics software generates a user analysis cookie. This cookie tells us if you have visited this site before. The browser will tell us if you have this cookie, and if not, we will generate one. It allows monitoring unique users who visit us and how often.

As long as you’re not registered on this site, this cookie cannot be used to identify individuals; they are used for statistical purposes only. If you’re registered, we can also know details you’ve provided, like email addresses and usernames, subject to confidentiality and provisions of the Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, and data protection legislation.

Geotargetting cookies

These cookies are used by software that determines which country you’re from. It’s completely anonymous and is only used to target content – even when you’re on our page in Romanian or another language, you get the same advertisement.

Registration Cookies

When you register on this site, we generate a cookie that informs us if you are registered or not. Our servers use these cookies to show us the account with which you are registered and if you have permission for a specific service. It also allows us to associate any comment you post on our site with your username. If you have not selected “keep me logged in”, this cookie will automatically be deleted when you close your browser or computer.

Advertising Cookies

These cookies allow us to know whether or not you’ve viewed an online advertisement, its type, and how long it’s been since you saw the advertising message.

We also use these cookies to target online advertising. We might also use third-party cookies for better ad targeting, for instance, to display ads about apartments if a user recently viewed an article on our site about certain apartments. These cookies are anonymous; they store information about the viewed content, not about the users.

Additionally, we set anonymous cookies on other sites where we advertise. Upon receiving them, we can recognize you as a visitor to that site, and when you later visit our site, we can deliver advertising based on that information.

Advertiser’s Cookies

A significant part of the advertising you find on this site belongs to third parties. Some of these parties use their own anonymous cookies to analyze how many people have been exposed to an advertisement or to see how many people have been exposed to the same ad multiple times.

The companies generating these cookies have their privacy policies, and this site does not have access to read or write these cookies. Third-party cookies can be used to show you targeted ads on other sites based on your browsing on this site.

Other Third-party Cookies

On some pages, third parties might set their anonymous cookies to track the success of an application or to customize an application. Due to their usage, this site cannot access these cookies, just as third parties cannot access cookies owned by this site.

For example, when you share an article using the social network button found on this site, that social network will record your activity.

What kind 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 webserver will recognize the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted.

The cookie stores essential information that enhances the internet browsing experience (e.g., the desired language settings for accessing a site; keeping a user logged into a webmail account; online banking security; keeping products in the shopping cart).

The list of these cookies and the identity of the third parties who place them can be found in the following list

Why are cookies important for the Internet?

Cookies are the central point of efficient Internet functioning, helping to generate a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies can make some websites impossible to use.

Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising – but just that it will no longer be able to consider your preferences and interests, highlighted by your browsing behavior.

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

• Content and services tailored to the user’s preferences – news categories, weather, sports, maps, public and governmental services, entertainment websites, and travel services.
• Offers tailored to user interests – remembering passwords, language preferences (e.g., displaying search results in Romanian).
• Retaining child protection filters regarding online content (family mode options, safe search functions).
• Limiting the frequency of ad broadcasts – limiting the number of times an ad is displayed to a particular user on a website.
• Providing more relevant advertising for 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 reaches a website (e.g., through search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.). Websites conduct these analyses of their usage to improve sites for the benefit of users.

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 auto-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate again. Since they cannot fulfill these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.

However, 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 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 built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a certain site.

Other security aspects related to cookies:

Because identity protection is very valuable and represents the right of every internet user, it is advisable to know what potential problems cookies can create. Because they constantly transmit information in both directions between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes in the data transmission process, 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 require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can exploit this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. Attackers then use this information for unauthorized access to certain websites. It’s crucial to be careful in choosing the best method 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 websites and the biggest ones use cookies, they are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user access to the most popular and used websites, including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo, and others.

Here are some tips to ensure you browse worry-free with the help of cookies:

• Customize your browser’s cookie settings to reflect a comfortable level of cookie usage security for you.
• If you don’t mind cookies and you’re the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration terms for storing browsing history and personal access data.
• If you share computer access, you might consider setting the browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close the browser. This is a way to access websites that place cookies and delete any visit information when closing the browsing session.
• Install and regularly update anti-spyware applications.Many spyware detection and prevention applications include detecting attacks on sites. Thus, they prevent the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software.
• Make sure you always have your browser updated.Many cookie-based attacks exploit the weaknesses of older browser versions.

Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and largest websites on the Internet – local or international. With a clear understanding of how they operate and the benefits they provide, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can browse the internet with confidence.

How can I stop cookies?

Deactivating and refusing to receive cookies can make some websites impractical or difficult to visit and use. Also, refusing to accept cookies doesn’t mean you won’t receive/see online advertising.

It’s possible to set your browser so that these cookies are no longer accepted or you can set your browser to accept cookies from a specific site. But, for example, if you’re not registered using cookies, you won’t be able to leave comments.

All modern browsers offer the option to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the “options” or the “preferences” menu of your browser.

To understand these settings, the following links may be useful, otherwise, you can use the “help” option of your browser for more details.
