Introduction

This Cookie Policy applies to all users of the https://www.infovacante.ro website. The following information is intended to inform users about the placement, use and management of cookies in the context of browsing this Website.

We use the term "cookies" to refer to cookies and similar technologies through which information can be collected automatically.

Cookies are used to provide users of the Site with a better browsing experience and services tailored to the needs and interests of each individual user, namely to:

- to improve the use of the Website, including by identifying any errors that occur during users' visit/use of the Website;
- providing anonymous statistics on the use of this Website to EGEA Smart Solutions S.R.L. ("EGEA"), as owner of the Website;
- anticipating possible future services/goods that will be provided/ made available to users through this Website, depending on the services/products accessed.

Cookies provide EGEA with valuable feedback on how this Website is used, so that measures can be taken to make it more efficient and accessible to users. Thus, the use of cookies allows the storage of certain settings/preferences set by users during browsing sessions (e.g. the language in which the Website is viewed).

An "Internet Cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie" or "cookie") is a small file of letters and numbers that will be stored on a user's computer, mobile device or other equipment through which the Internet is accessed.

Cookies are installed by a request issued by a web-server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). Once installed, cookies have a fixed lifetime and remain "passive" in the sense that they do not contain software, viruses or spyware and will not access information on the hard drive of the user on whose equipment they were installed.

A cookie consists of two parts:

Technically, only the webserver that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the web page associated with that webserver.

There are the following categories of cookies:
- Session Cookies - A "session cookie" is a cookie that is automatically deleted when the user closes their browser.
- Persistent Cookies - A "persistent cookie" is a cookie that remains stored on the user's terminal until it reaches a certain expiration date (which may be minutes, days or years in the future).

What is the lifespan of cookies?

Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifetime of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are used exclusively for a single session (i.e. session cookies) and are no longer retained once the user leaves the website. Some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that web page (i.e. persistent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time via the browser settings.

What are third-party cookies?

In addition to the cookies set by EGEA, certain sections of content on this Website may be provided through third parties, i.e. not by EGEA, in which case these cookies are referred to as "third party cookies". Third party cookie providers must also comply with the data protection rules and the Privacy Policy available on the Site. These cookies may come from the following third parties: Google Analytics, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn.
