OUR COOKIE POLICY
Asociația Maxwell Policy on Cookies
INTRODUCTION
This website uses cookies in order to provide a much better browsing experience and services tailored to the needs and interests of each individual visitor.
Cookies play an important role in facilitating access to and delivery of the services a user enjoys when accessing a website, for example:
Personalizing certain settings, such as the language in which the website is displayed;
Feedback for the website owner, showing us how the website is used so that we can make it more accessible and more efficient for you and improve the overall experience you have when accessing our website;
Improving the effectiveness of online advertising;
This Cookie Policy applies to all users of this website, and the information presented below is intended to inform the users of this web page about the placement, use and management of cookies by Asociația Maxwell in the context of the user's browsing of this web page.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you access our website. Thanks to these cookies, the website can remember your actions and preferences (login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time. This way, you do not have to re-enter them every time you return to the website.
A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and the content, or value, of the cookie. Moreover, the lifespan of a cookie is fixed. Technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when the user returns to the website associated with that web server.
Cookies do not require personal information in order to be used, nor can they personally identify internet users.
There are 2 main categories of cookies:
1. Session cookies: this category of cookies is stored temporarily in the cookie folder of the web browser being used, so that the browser remembers them until the user ends the session, that is, leaves the website in question or closes the browser window (for example, when logging in to or out of a webmail account or social media).
2. Persistent cookies: this category of cookies is stored on the hard drive of a computer or device and generally depends on the preset lifespan of the cookie. This category also includes cookies placed by a website other than the one the user is visiting at that moment. These are known as “third party cookies” (cookies placed by third parties) and can be used anonymously to remember a user's interests in order to deliver advertising that is as relevant as possible to users.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF COOKIES?
Cookies contain information that links the user's browser to a web server (website). When a browser accesses a website again, the website can read the information already stored and respond accordingly. In this way, cookies give users a pleasant browsing experience and help us offer services that match our users' preferences in terms of online privacy, website language options, shopping carts or relevant advertising.
WHAT IS THE LIFESPAN OF A COOKIE?
Cookies are managed by web servers, and the lifespan of a cookie can vary significantly depending on the purpose for which it was placed. As mentioned above, some cookies are used for a single session and are no longer retained once the user has left our website. Other cookies are retained and reused every time a user returns to that website.
Nevertheless, as a user of a website, you can delete cookies at any time through the settings of the browser you are using.
WHAT ARE THIRD PARTY COOKIES?
Certain sections of content on our website may be provided through third parties/providers (e.g., a news box, a video, an ad). These third parties may also place cookies through our website. These are called “third party cookies” because they are not placed by us, the owner of the website. These third-party providers must also comply with the applicable law and with the privacy policies of this website.
HOW THIS WEBSITE USES COOKIES
When you visit this website, cookies may be placed for the following purposes:
Website performance cookies
Visitor analytics cookies
Geotargeting analytics cookies
Registration cookies
Advertising cookies
Advertising provider cookies
a. Performance cookies
These remember the preferences of the person using the website, so that the preferences do not need to be set again when the website is revisited.
Examples:
Video player volume settings;
The video streaming speed the browser is compatible with;
b. User analytics cookies
These cookies tell us whether, and how many times, you have visited our website in the past. These cookies are used for statistical purposes only.
c. Geotargeting cookies;
These cookies help us know the country of origin of the person viewing the website.
d. Registration cookies
When you register on this website, in your account, cookies are generated that remember this action. This makes it possible to associate any comment posted on the website with the username of the account used. If you do not select the “keep me logged in” option, these cookies will be deleted automatically when you leave the website.
e. Advertising cookies
These cookies make it possible to find out whether the person visiting the website has viewed an online ad, what type of ad it was, and how much time has passed since that advertising message was viewed. These cookies are therefore used for targeting online advertising. They are anonymous and store information only about the content viewed, not about the users.
We may also use cookies belonging to a third party in order, for example, to show ads of interest to users.
At the same time, we may also set anonymous cookies through other websites on which we advertise. By receiving them, we can use them to recognize you as a visitor to that website if you later visit our website, and we will be able to deliver advertising to you based on this information
f. Advertising provider cookies
Some of the advertising you find on this website may belong to third parties. Some of these parties use their own anonymous cookies to analyze how much users have been exposed to an advertising message or to see how many people have been exposed to the same ad multiple times.
The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies, and this website does not have access to read or write these cookies. Third-party cookies may be used to show you targeted advertising on other websites as well, based on your browsing on this website.
g. Other third-party cookies
On some websites, third parties may set their own anonymous cookies in order to track the success of an application or to customize an application. Because of the way they are used, this website will not be able to access these cookies, just as third parties cannot access the cookies held by this website.
For example, when you share an article or other material using the social media button on this site, that social network will record your activity.
WHAT KIND OF INFORMATION IS STORED AND ACCESSED THROUGH COOKIES?
Cookies store information in a small text file that allows a website to recognize a browser. The web server (the site) will recognize the browser from which it was accessed until the cookie expires or is deleted.
As we mentioned, cookies store important information that improves your experience browsing the internet, for example: the language settings in which you wish to access a site, keeping a user logged in to their webmail account, or keeping products in the shopping cart.
WHY ARE COOKIES IMPORTANT FOR THE INTERNET?
Cookies support the efficient functioning of the internet and help create a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to each user's preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may make certain parts/features of the site unusable or may make the site entirely unusable.
It should be noted that refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising, only that it will no longer match the needs and preferences reflected by your browsing behavior.
Some of the important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to log in through an account) are:
They help us provide content and services tailored to the user's preferences;
They help us build offers tailored to users' interests;
Remembering child protection filters for internet content (family mode options, safe search features);
Limiting how often ads are displayed;
Measurement, optimization and analytics features, such as confirming a certain level of traffic on the site, what type of content is viewed and how the user arrives at the site. The site carries out these analyses of their use in order to improve the site for your benefit, as the user;
They help us measure the effectiveness of our online marketing campaigns;
SECURITY AND PRIVACY ISSUES
First of all, we should know this: cookies are NOT viruses and therefore do not affect the device you use to browse a site.
In general, browsers have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity periods and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.
As previously mentioned, including in the terms and conditions of this site and in the privacy policy, protecting your personal data is extremely important to us and is a right that every internet user has. To this end, we make every effort to ensure that your personal data is protected.
It should be mentioned that information is constantly transmitted in both directions between the browser and the site through cookies. Even though this is usually safe, an attacker or unauthorized person could intervene, and the information contained in cookies could be intercepted. This happens very rarely, in exceptional situations, such as when the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network, for example an unsecured Wi-Fi network. That is why it is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method of protecting your personal information
Given that most of the largest and most visited sites (such as YouTube, Gmail, Yahoo and others) use cookies, cookies are almost unavoidable. When a user decides to disable cookies, access to and use of the site may become difficult or even impossible.
So here are some tips to help you browse worry-free while still using cookies:
Customize your browser's cookie settings so that they reflect a level of cookie security you are comfortable with.
If you don't mind cookies and you are the only person using the device, you can set long expiration periods for storing your browsing history and personal access data.
If you share access to the device, you may want to set your browser to delete individual browsing data every time you close it.
Install anti-spyware applications and keep them constantly updated. Many of these applications also include detection of attacks on websites. This way, the browser will be prevented from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software.
Make sure your browser is always up to date
Cookies are everywhere and are hard to avoid if we want to enjoy access to the best and largest sites and want a good experience when visiting them. With a clear understanding of how they work and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can browse the internet with confidence.
HOW DO YOU TURN OFF COOKIES?
First of all, keep in mind that disabling and refusing cookies may make certain features of the site unusable or make the site difficult to visit and use. Also, turning off or refusing cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive or see online advertising.
In your browser settings, you can choose which cookies you no longer accept, or you can set the browser to accept cookies only from a specific site. All modern browsers allow you to change cookie settings, and these settings are usually found under “Options” or in your browser's “Preferences” menu. If you can't find them, you can always use your browser's “Help” option for more details
