This website uses cookies to provide visitors with a much better browsing experience and services tailored to their needs and interests. In what we call “web 2.0”, “cookies” play an important role in facilitating access and delivery of multiple services that the user benefits from on the Internet, such as:
Customizing certain settings – the language in which a site is viewed, the currency in which certain prices or prices are expressed, keeping options for various products (measures, other details, etc.) in the shopping cart (and memorizing these options) – thus generating flexibility “Shopping basket” (accessing old preferences by accessing the “forward” and “back” button);
Cookies provide site owners with valuable feedback on how their sites are used by users, so that they can make them more efficient and accessible to them;
Allow multimedia applications or different types from other sites to be included in a specific site to create a more valuable, useful and enjoyable browsing experience;

What is a “cookie”?
An “Internet Cookie” (term also known as “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie” or simply “cookie”) is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers that will be stored on your computer, mobile terminal or on other equipment of a user accessing the Internet. The cookie is installed by a request issued by a web server to a browser (for example, Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (does not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the hard drive- user’s profile).
A cookie consists of two parts: the name and content (value) of the cookie. Moreover, the duration of existence of a cookie is determined; technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again, when a user returns to the web-site associated with the respective web-server.
Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users.
Session cookies – these are temporarily stored in the cookie folder of the web browser for it to store until the user exits the respective web site or closes the browser window (for example, in the moment of logging / logging in to a webmail account or on social networks);
Permanent cookies – these are stored on the hard drive of a computer or on a device (and generally depend on the default lifetime of the cookie).
What are the benefits of cookies?
A cookie contains information that links a web-browser (the user) and a specific web-server (the web-site). 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 web sites to provide comfortable services to users (preferences regarding online confidentiality, site language options, shopping carts or relevant advertising).
How long is a cookie?
Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifetime of a cookie may 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 after the user has left the web site, and other cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that web- site (permanent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time through the browser settings.

Why are cookies important for the Internet?
Cookies are the central point of the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience and adapted to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies can make some sites impossible to use.
Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising, but only that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, evidenced by your browsing behavior.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require user authentication through an account):
content and services tailored to the user’s preferences
offers tailored to the interests of users – retaining passwords, language preferences (for example, displaying search results in Romanian)
retaining child protection filters on content on the Internet (“family mode” options, “safe search” functions)
measurement, optimization and analytics features – such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a web-site, what kind of content is viewed and how a user reaches a web-site (through search engines, directly, from other Web sites etc.). Websites run these usage analyzes to improve the sites for the benefit of the users
Security and confidentiality 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 self-run. As a result, you cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate again. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses. However, cookies can be used for negative purposes. Because it stores information about users’ browsing preferences and history both on a specific site and on other sites, cookies can be used as a form of spyware. Many anti-spyware products are con
aware of this fact and is constantly marking cookies for deletion in anti-virus / anti-spyware removal / scanning procedures.
Generally, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular 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 possible problems cookies may create. Because through them information is transmitted between the browser and the website, constantly and in both directions, if an attacker or an unauthorized person intervenes during the data transmission, the information contained in cookies can be intercepted. Although in practice it is very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (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 use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. The attackers then use the information to access unauthorized sites. It is very important to be careful when choosing the most appropriate method of protection of 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, these are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow user access to the most popular and used sites: Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others. Here are some tips that if you apply them, you can be sure to browse without worry, but with the help of cookies:
customize your browser settings regarding cookies according to your level of comfort regarding the security of their use
if you do not mind cookies and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long deadlines for storing your browsing history and personal access data. However, if you share access to the computer, you can consider setting the browser to clear individual browsing data each time you close the browser. This is an option to access the websites that place cookies and to delete any visit information at the end of the browsing session.
constantly install and update antispyware applications
Many spyware detection and prevention applications include detecting site attacks. Thus, they prevent the browser from accessing web sites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software. Make sure you have your browser always updated. Many of the cookie-based attacks are made by exploiting the weaknesses of older versions of browsers.
Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and largest sites on the Internet – local or international. With a clear understanding of their mode of operation and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures to navigate the Internet with confidence.
