The website sivis.ro uses cookies. The following information aims to inform users about the placement, use, and management of the cookies used by the aqv.ro website.
This website uses cookies to provide visitors with a better browsing experience and services tailored to their needs and interests.
Cookies provide valuable feedback to website owners on how their sites are used by users, allowing them to make the sites more efficient and accessible. They enable multimedia or other applications from other sites to be included in a particular site to create a more valuable, useful, and enjoyable browsing experience and improve the efficiency of online advertising.
What is a “cookie”?
An “Internet Cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie”) is a small file consisting of letters and numbers stored on the computer, mobile device, or other equipment of a user accessing the Internet.
The cookie is installed via a request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (it does not contain software, viruses, or spyware and cannot access information from the user’s hard drive).
A cookie consists of two parts: its name and its content or value. Moreover, the duration of a cookie’s existence is determined; technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when the user returns to the website associated with that server.
Cookies do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.
There are two major categories of cookies:
- Session Cookies – These are temporarily stored in the browser’s cookie folder until the user leaves the website or closes the browser window.
- Persistent Cookies – These are stored on a computer or device’s hard drive (usually depending on the cookie’s predefined lifespan). Persistent cookies include those placed by another website other than the one the user is currently visiting—known as ‘third-party cookies.’ These cookies can be used anonymously to remember a user’s interests, enabling the delivery of 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 its purpose. As mentioned above, some cookies are used solely for a single session (session cookies) and are not retained after the user leaves the website. Others are retained and reused each time the user returns to the site (“persistent cookies”). However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time through their browser settings.
What are third-party cookies?
Certain content sections on some websites may be provided by third parties/providers (e.g., a video or ad). These third parties can also place cookies through the site, referred to as “third-party cookies” because they are not placed by the website owner. Third-party providers must comply with applicable legal regulations and the site owner’s privacy policies.
How are cookies used by this site?
A visit to this site may place cookies for:
- Site performance cookies
- Visitor analysis cookies
- Geotargeting cookies
These cookies may come from the following third parties: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube.
Performance Cookies:
This type of cookie remembers user preferences on this site, so they do not need to be reset upon each visit.
Visitor Analysis Cookies:
Each time a user visits this site, third-party analytics software generates a visitor analysis cookie. This cookie tells us if you have visited the site before. The browser informs us whether you have this cookie; if not, one is generated. This allows us to monitor unique users visiting the site and how often they do so.
Geotargeting Cookies:
These cookies are used by software to determine the country you are from. This is entirely anonymous and used solely to target content—whether you are on our page in Romanian or another language, you receive the same advertisement.
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. Cookies store important information that enhances the online browsing experience.
Customize your browser settings regarding cookies:
If you are not bothered by cookies and are the sole user of 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 every time you close it.
How can cookies be disabled?
Disabling and refusing to receive cookies can make the site difficult to visit and use.
All modern browsers offer the ability to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the “options” or “preferences” menu of your browser.
