1. Some useful information about cookies and device identifiers

1.1. 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, which will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal or other equipment of a user from which the Internet is accessed.

The cookie is installed by a request issued by a web server to a browser (eg: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome) and is completely "passive" (it does not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the hard drive the user). The cookie stores certain information (for example, your preferred language or web page settings), which your browser can retransfer to us when you access the web page again (depending on the lifetime of the cookie).

Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users.

1.2. What types of cookies are there?

There are several types of cookies. Their classification is made according to their life span, role and source, as follows:

a) Types of cookies depending on the lifetime

Session cookies

They are temporarily stored in the cookies file of the web browser so that it remembers them until the user leaves the respective site or closes the browser window (eg: when logging in/out of a webmail account or on the internet socialization)

Persistent cookies

They are stored on the hard drive of a computer or equipment (and it depends on the lifetime of the cookie). Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one the user is visiting at the time - known as 'third party cookies' - which can be used anonymously to remember the interests of a user, so that the most relevant advertising for users is delivered.

b) Types of cookies depending on their role

Strictly necessary cookies

These types of cookies are necessary for the internet pages to function properly. Strictly necessary cookie modules allow you to navigate through the site and benefit from its features. Without these cookies, we will not be able to offer certain features, such as automatic redirection to the least busy server or retaining your list of preferences.

Functional cookies

Functional cookie modules record information related to the choices that users make and also allow us, the site operators, to customize the site according to the user's requirements. For example, cookie modules can be used to save category/segment preferences.

Performance and analysis cookies
These types of cookies allow website operators to monitor visits and traffic sources, the way users interact with the website or certain sections of the website.
The information provided by the analysis cookie modules helps the operators to understand how the visitors use the sites and then to use this information to improve the way in which the content offered to the users is presented.

Targeting and advertising cookies
These cookies can offer the possibility to monitor the online activities of users and establish user profiles, which can then be used for marketing purposes. For example, on the basis of cookies, the products and services agreed by a user can be identified, this information later serving to send appropriate advertising messages to that user.

c) First party cookies vs third party cookies

Each cookie has a "responsible" (i.e. the website/Internet domain) that places that cookie.

First party cookies are placed by the Internet domain / website accessed by the user (whose address appears in the address bar of the browser). For example, if the user visits www.spatzioo.ro, and the domain of the cookie placed on his computer is www.spatzioo.ro, then it is a first party cookie.

A third party cookie is placed by a different Internet domain/website than the one accessed by the user; this means that the accessed website also contains information from a third-party website - for example, an advertising banner that appears on the accessed website. Thus, if the user visits www.spatzioo.ro but the cookie placed on his computer has rubiconproject.com as its domain, then it is a third party cookie.

d) Embedded content (buttons, applications and social media widgets)

The web pages allow the implementation of social buttons or widgets from a third party, which allow users to interact with the sites whose social buttons or widgets are implemented. User interaction with a third party's social media buttons or widgets allows the third party to collect some information about that user, including IP address, page header information, and browser information.

e) How do targeting and advertising cookies work?

In general, data about Internet browsing activity are collected and analyzed anonymously. If a specific interest emerges from this analysis, a cookie is placed on the user's computer and this cookie determines which advertisement the user will receive, which is called interest-based advertising.

Interest-based advertising is a way to deliver ads to the websites you visit and make them more relevant to your interests. Common interests are grouped according to previous browsing activity, and users are only served advertising that matches their interests. In this way, advertising is relevant and as useful as possible.

For better understanding

Imagine that you want to buy or rent a house or an apartment. Visit the section of a specialized website (e.g. www.spatzioo.ro) and view some house or apartment ads.

The next time you browse online, when you go online to read, for example, a news article or the page of an online store, you will receive a real estate ad published by a specialized website (such as www.spatzioo.ro) as an advertisement. .

You will receive these specially personalized advertising messages, because you and other people like you have shown an increased interest in these services and, thus, you have been included in a certain segment of users (e.g. users who are looking for offers real estate, from certain areas, with certain characteristics). In this way, the web experience can be improved, by reducing the number of advertisements that are not of interest.
