The website www.edofier.ro uses cookies. In this section we will give you more information about what cookies are, how we use them and how you can manage them both on our site and on other sites for a pleasant online experience.
In the following lines we will present information in order to inform the user about the placement, use and administration of 'cookies' used by the edofier.ro site. Please read the following information carefully: This website uses both its own cookies and cookies added by third parties to provide visitors with a much better browsing experience and services tailored to their needs and interests. The 'modern web' or 'web 2.0' uses cookies that play an important role in facilitating access to and delivery of multiple services that the user enjoys on the Internet, such as:
An "Internet Cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie" or simply a "cookie") is a small file that contains letters and numbers and will be stored on your computer, mobile terminal or other equipment of a user from whom he accessed a site. The cookie is sent by a request issued by the web-server on which the site is hosted to the user`s browser (Ex: Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, etc.) and is completely "passive", ie does not contain programs software, viruses, or spyware, nor can it access the user`s hard drive information. A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and content or value of the cookie and is uniquely associated with the domain hosted by the site that sent it to the user`s browser (eg edofier.ro). Moreover, the duration of a cookie is determined and only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again, and only when the user returns to the site associated with that web server. Cookies will not require personal information to be used, nor will they personally identify Internet users.
There are two main categories of cookies:
A cookie contains information that links a browser (user) to a specific web server (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 sites to provide comfortable services to users. Examples - online privacy preferences, site language options or relevant advertising, etc.
Cookies are administered 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 ('session cookies') and are not retained after the user leaves the site, while other cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that site ( “Permanent cookies”). However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time via browser settings.
Certain sections of content on some sites may be provided through third parties / providers (eg news box, video or advertisement). These third parties may also place cookies through the site and they are called 'third party cookies' because they are not placed by that site. Third-party providers must also comply with the law in force and the privacy policies of the site owner.
Visiting this site may place cookies for the following purposes:
Some of them use their own anonymous cookies to analyze how many people have viewed an ad, or to see how many people have repeatedly viewed a particular ad. The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies, and this site does not have access to these cookies. Third-party cookies are used to show you targeted advertising on other sites as well, based on your browsing on this site and, by default, your preferences.
Cookies store information in a small text file that allows a site to recognize a browser. The web server will recognize the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted. The cookie stores important information that enhances your browsing experience. Ex: settings regarding the language in which you want to access a site, keeping a user logged in to the member account or email account, online security, keeping and saving some settings, etc.
Cookies are the central point of the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience, adapted to the preferences and interests of each user. Declining or disabling cookies may make some sites impossible to use. Rejecting or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising, only that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests highlighted by your previous browsing behavior. Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to authenticate to a specific account):
In the pages of the edofier.ro website, cookies are collected through a remarketing tag and a conversion code, received from Google AdWords, cookies (a number that uniquely identifies a web browser on a certain computer, not a person). The Google remarketing tag collects cookies in order to show ads on Google Display websites and in Google Search. When users visit a website page that contains a remarketing tag, the browser cookie they use is added to a remarketing list. A remarketing list is a set of user cookies, generated by one or more remarketing tags. Google AdWords uses cookies to show sponsored ads on the websites of the Google Display Network and in Google Search to users who have visited the pages of the edofier.ro website. can be done through the Ad Preferences Manager.
Cookies should NOT be confused with viruses! They use a plain text format. They are not made up of pieces of code, so they cannot be executed or run. As a result, it cannot be duplicated or replicated on other networks to run or replicate. As they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses. However, cookies can be used for negative purposes. Because it stores information about users' preferences and browsing history, both on one site and on multiple sites, cookies can be used as a form of spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this and constantly mark cookies to be deleted during anti-virus / anti-spyware deletion / scanning procedures. Browsers generally have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of acceptance of cookies, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.
Given that the protection of identity is very important and represents the right of every internet user, it is advisable to know what are the possible problems that may arise in connection with cookies. Because they constantly transmit information between the browser and the site in both directions, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes during the transmission of data, the information contained in the cookie may be intercepted. Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (Ex: an unsecured Wi-Fi network). Other cookie-based attacks involve incorrect settings of cookies on servers. If a site does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. Attackers then use the information to gain unauthorized access to certain sites. It is very important that you choose the most appropriate method of protecting your personal information.
