The website www.maisonlongevite.ro uses cookies.
The information below is intended to give the user more details about the placement, use and management of the "cookies" used by the website www.maisonlongevite.ro. If you need further information and it is not set out below, you may contact us at: office@maisonlongevite.ro.
Please read the following information carefully.
This website uses its own cookies and third-party cookies in order to provide visitors with a much better browsing experience and services tailored to each person's needs and interests.
In what we call "web 2.0", cookies play an important role in facilitating access to and delivery of the many services the user enjoys on the internet, such as:
An "internet cookie" (a term also known as "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie" or simply "cookie") is a small file, made up of letters and numbers, that will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal or other equipment of a user from which the internet is accessed.
The cookie is installed through a request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g. internet explorer, chrome) and is completely "passive" (it does not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the user's hard drive).
A cookie is made up of 2 parts: the name and the content or value of the cookie. Moreover, the lifetime of a cookie is determined; technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that web server.
Cookies in themselves do not require personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.
There are 2 broad categories of cookies:
What are the advantages of cookies?
A cookie contains information that links a web browser (the user) to a particular web server (the website). If a browser accesses that web server again, it can read the information already stored and react accordingly. Cookies ensure a pleasant browsing experience for users and support the efforts of many websites to offer convenient services to users: e.g. – online privacy preferences, website language options, shopping carts or relevant advertising.
What is the lifetime of a cookie?
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 ("session cookies") and are no longer retained once the user has left the website, while some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website ("permanent cookies"). Nevertheless, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time through the browser settings.
What are third-party cookies?
Certain sections of content on some websites may be provided through third parties/suppliers (e.g. a news box, a video or an advertisement). These third parties may also place cookies through the website; they are called "third party cookies" because they are not placed by the owner of that website. Third-party suppliers must also comply with the applicable law and with the privacy policies of the website owner.
A visit to this website may place cookies for the purposes of:
These cookies may come from the following third parties: google AdWords, facebook, youtube, SATI, httpool, SPA.
Performance cookies
This type of cookie retains the user's preferences on this website, so that there is no longer any need to set them each time the website is visited.
Visitor analytics cookies
Each time a user visits this website, the analytics software provided by a third party generates a user analytics cookie. This cookie tells us whether you have visited this website before. The browser will tell us whether you have this cookie, and if not, we will generate one. This allows monitoring of the unique users who visit us and how often they do so. This cookie cannot be used to identify individuals, its purpose being purely statistical.
Geotargeting cookies
These cookies are used by software that establishes which country you come from. It is completely anonymous and is used only to target content – even when you are on our page in Romanian or in another language you receive the same advertisement.
Advertising cookies
These cookies allow us to find out whether or not you have viewed an online advertisement, what type it is and how much time has passed since you saw the advertising message. We also use these cookies to target online advertising. We may also use cookies belonging to a third party, for better targeting of advertising, in order to show for example advertisements about a certain type of service, if the user has recently visited an article on the website about that service. These cookies are anonymous, they store information about the content viewed, not about users. We also set anonymous cookies through other websites where we advertise. Receiving them, we can thus use them to recognize you as a visitor of that website if you subsequently visit our website, and we will be able to deliver advertising to you based on this information.
Advertising providers' cookies
A large part of the advertising you find on this website belongs to third parties. Some of these parties use their own anonymous cookies to analyze how many people have been exposed to an advertising message or to see how many people have been exposed several times to the same advertisement. 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 parties' cookies may be used to show you targeted advertising on other websites as well, based on your browsing on this website.
Other third-party cookies
On some pages, third parties may set their own anonymous cookies, for the purpose of tracking the success of an application or of customizing an application. Because of the way they are used, this website cannot access these cookies, just as third parties cannot access the cookies held by this website. For example, when you share an article using the social network button on this website, that social network will record your activity.
What does accepting or refusing the use of cookies on this website involve?
What type of information is stored and accessed through cookies?
Cookies keep information in a small text file that allows a website to recognize a browser. The web server will recognize the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted.
The cookie stores important information that improves the internet browsing experience ( e.g.: the language settings in which a website is to be accessed; keeping a user logged in to a webmail account)
Why are cookies important for the internet?
Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the internet, helping to generate a browsing experience that is friendly and adapted to each user's preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies can make some websites impossible to use. Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising – only that it will no longer be able to take account of your preferences and interests, as shown by your browsing behavior.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to authenticate through an account):
Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code, so they cannot be executed and cannot run by themselves. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate themselves on other networks in order to run or replicate again. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses. Cookies can nevertheless be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about users' preferences and browsing history, both on a particular website and on several other websites, cookies can be used as a form of spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and constantly flag cookies to be deleted as part of anti-virus/anti-spyware deletion/scanning procedures.
In general, browsers have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a certain website.
Because the protection of identity is very valuable and represents the right of every internet user, it is advisable to know what possible problems cookies may create. Because information is constantly transmitted through them in both directions between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes in the course of data transmission, the information contained in the cookie may be intercepted. Although very rarely, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (e.g. an unsecured WiFi network).
Other cookie-based attacks involve incorrect cookie settings on servers. If a website 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 websites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method of protecting personal information.
Because of their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest websites use cookies, they are almost unavoidable.
Here are a few tips that can ensure you browse without worries, but with the help of cookies:
Many spyware detection and prevention applications include the detection of attacks on websites. Make sure your browser is always up to date. Many cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting the weak points of old browser versions.
Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and largest websites on the internet – local or international. With a clear understanding of how they operate and of the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can browse the internet with confidence.
Disabling and refusing to receive cookies can make certain websites impractical or difficult to visit and use. Also, refusing to accept cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive/see online advertising.
It is possible to set the browser so that these cookies are no longer accepted, or you can set the browser to accept cookies from a particular website.
All modern browsers offer the possibility of changing cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the "options" or in the "preferences" menu of your browser.
