4. WHAT COOKIES ARE

Preliminarily, we note that this policy applies to all technologies used by Băneasa that are stored or accessed on your device, and the term cookies used in this policy includes all such technologies (e.g. HTTP, Pixel, Unique identifiers, etc.). Cookies are small files, consisting of letters and numbers, which technically allow the Platform operator to capture information such as IP address, geo-location data, operating system data, resolution of the device used, data on visits to the Platform (such as number of visits, time spent on the Platform, how the Platform is accessed, behaviour on the Platform) as well as measuring traffic e.g. organic versus paid.

Cookies have different storage periods and can be "permanent" or "session" cookies. Permanent cookies consist of a text file sent by a server to a browser used for browsing that will be stored by that browser and will remain active until the expiry date (unless deleted beforehand by the user). Session" cookies will expire at the end of the user's browsing session when the web browser is closed.

In general, cookies are widely used for purposes such as:

● user authentication;

● saving preferences and settings;

● determining the popularity of content;

● delivering and measuring the effectiveness of campaigns;

● supporting security measures and detecting fraudulent activity;

● selecting messages displayed and measuring interaction with them;

● recognition of the user's device;

● analyzing trends and traffic and generally understanding the online behavior and interests of those who interact with our websites.

In general, cookies do not contain information that identifies you individually, but the personal information we collect about you may be linked to other data we have obtained from you and stored. In this regard, some cookies collect anonymous information that says nothing about you, while others collect information that can identify you - for example, your IP address.

5. COOKIES ON THE SITE

We use the following types of cookies:

● "Strictly necessary" cookies, which are essential to ensure the proper functioning of the Platforms and for which your consent is not required. These include cookies that allow visitors to log into secure areas of the platform.

● "Preference" cookies, also known as "functionality cookies", these cookies allow the platform to remember choices the user has made in the past, such as language preference, region or username and password, so that they can log in automatically.

● "Analytics and statistics" cookies, used to improve the platforms - these help to analyse and understand what visitors like and dislike and identify common features that help to improve the user experience within the platform.

● "Personalised marketing" cookies - these are generally persistent cookies and almost always of third party origin and used in marketing practice. Such cookies are used, for example, for the purpose of improving the products and/or services offered, for marketing analysis and statistics (number and type of users accessing a particular web page) or for personalising various portions displayed to users with advertising messages. This type of cookie is not necessary for the functionality of the platform.

Third party cookies are used primarily to provide you with a more useful experience and to produce statistics about the number of visitors and how they use our site. For example, like or share buttons on the Platform may allow social networks to place cookies on the website.
