Cookie Policy

The information presented below is intended to inform users about the placement, use, and management of “cookies” used by the site alexandrufota.ro. If you need more information that is not covered here, please contact us at avocatfota@gmail.com.

This website uses both proprietary cookies and third-party cookies to provide visitors with a better browsing experience and services tailored to individual needs and interests.

The cookies used on this site provide valuable feedback and help improve the online experience. The site employs cookies, such as tokens that remain active until the browser window is closed, to enhance navigation.

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 that is stored on a user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment used to access the Internet.

The cookie is installed at the request of a web server via 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 two parts: its name and its content (or value). Additionally, the lifespan of a cookie is determined by the web server that sent it, and it can only be accessed again by the server that issued it when the user returns to the associated website. Cookies do not request personal information for use and, in most cases, do not identify internet users.

Types of Cookies

There are two main categories of cookies:

Session Cookies: Stored temporarily in the browser’s cookie folder to remember information until the user leaves the website or closes the browser.
Persistent Cookies: Stored on the user’s hard drive until a set expiration date or until the user deletes them. Persistent cookies can also be used anonymously by third-party websites to remember user interests and deliver relevant advertising.

Advantages of Cookies

Cookies link a web browser to a specific web server, allowing the server to retrieve stored information for a better user experience. For example, cookies can store preferences for online privacy, site language options, shopping carts, or relevant advertising.

Cookie Lifespan

Cookies are managed by web servers, and their lifespan varies based on their purpose. While some cookies are deleted when the user leaves the site, others (persistent cookies) remain and are reused upon future visits. Users can delete cookies manually through browser settings.

Third-Party Cookies

Some website sections may include content provided by third-party providers (e.g., news feeds, videos, or ads). These third parties may place their cookies, known as “third-party cookies,” which the site owner cannot access.
