Cookies policy applies to all visitors to the desprespa.ro website
Website https://desprespa.ro owned by Exclusive About SPA SRL uses cookies.
The following information is intended to inform the user about the placement, use and management of cookies used by the desprespa.ro website.
The term "cookie" is a borrowed English word derived from the term "magic cookie", a concept often used in EN. Cookies allow the collection of information about users' behavior, basically which web pages they visit and when. For these reasons their use in the United States and EU member countries is subject to legal restrictions. Cookies are only text and cannot perform any operations. They are neither spyware nor computer viruses, although some antivirus and anti-spyware programs can detect them.
This website uses its own and third party cookies to provide visitors with a much better browsing experience and services tailored to their 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 that the user enjoys on the Internet, such as customizing certain settings such as: the language in which a site is viewed, the currency in which certain prices or rates are expressed, keeping options for various products (and remembering these options).
Cookies give website owners valuable feedback on how their sites are being used by users. Cookies improve the effectiveness of online advertising.
Cookies are used by web servers to be able to differentiate between users and react to their actions within a session made up of several separate transactions. They were invented in order to implement a virtual shopping cart: usually, the user first logs in, then browses the site, adds or removes items from the cart at will, then displays the contents of the cart, asks for the final price calculation, decides to order (or else gives up), and finally logs out
WHAT IS A COOKIE?
An "Internet Cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie" or simply "cookie") is a small file, made up of letters and numbers, that will be stored on a user's computer, or other equipment from which the Internet is accessed. The cookie is installed by a request issued by a web-server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely "passive" (contains no software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user's hard drive).
A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and the content of the cookie. Furthermore, 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 themselves do not require personal information in order to be used.
TYPES OF COOKIES:
Session cookies - they are temporarily stored in the cookie folder of the web browser to remember them until the user exits the website or closes the browser window (e.g. when logging in/out of a webmail account).
Persistent Cookies - They are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device (and generally depend on the cookie's default lifetime).

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF COOKIES?
A cookie contains information that links a web-browser (the user) to a specific web-server (the website). If a browser accesses that web-server again, it can read the information already stored and react accordingly: e.g. site language options, shopping carts or relevant advertising.
WHAT IS THE LIFETIME OF A COOKIE?
Cookies are managed by webservers. 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 once the user has left the website and some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website ('permanent cookies'). Cookies can be deleted by a user at any time via browser settings. Cookies expire, at the end of a session (e.g. when the browser is closed) if that cookie is not persistent, if an expiry date has been specified and the date is currently in the past, if the expiry date is changed (by the server or script) to a date in the past, the browser deletes the cookie at the user's request.
WHAT ARE THIRD-PARTY COOKIES?
Certain sections of content on some sites may be provided through third party vendors/providers (e.g. a video or advertisement). These third parties may also place cookies through the website and they are called "third party cookies" because they are not placed by the owner of that website. Third party vendors must also comply with applicable law and the website owner's privacy policies.

PERFORMANCE COOKIES
This type of cookie can remember the user's preferences on this site, so they no longer need to be set each time the site is visited.
COOKIES TO ANALYZE VISITORS
Each time a user visits this site, analytics software provided by a third party generates a user analytics cookie. This cookie tells us whether you have visited this site before. Your browser will tell us if you have this cookie and if not, we will generate one. This allows us to track unique users who visit us and how often. As long as you are not registered on this site, this cookie cannot be used to identify individuals, they are used for statistical purposes only.

COOKIES FOR ADVERTISING
These cookies allow us to track whether or not you have viewed an online advertisement, the type of advertisement and how long it has been since you saw the advertisement.

We may also use cookies belonging to a third party for better targeting of advertising, for example, to show advertisements about vacations if the user has recently visited an article on the site about vacations. These cookies are anonymous, they store information about the content viewed, not about the users. We also set anonymous cookies through other sites on which we advertise. By receiving them, so we can use them to recognize you as a visitor to that site if you later visit our site, we can deliver advertising to you based on that information.
COOKIES FROM ADVERTISERS
Much of the advertising you find on this site belongs to third parties. Some of these third parties use their own anonymous cookies to analyze how many people have been exposed to an advertisement, or to see how many people have been exposed to the same advertisement multiple times.
The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies, and this site does not have access to read or write these cookies. Third party cookies may be used to show you targeted advertising on other sites based on your browsing on this site.
OTHER THIRD PARTY COOKIES
On some pages, third parties may set their own anonymous cookies in order to track the success of an application, or to customize an application. Due to the way it is used, this site cannot access these cookies, just as third parties cannot access cookies owned by this site. For example, when you share an article using the social media button located on this site, that social network will record your activity.
WHAT INFORMATION IS STORED AND ACCESSED THROUGH COOKIES?
Cookies store information in a small text file that allows a website to recognize a browser. The Webserver will recognize the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted.
The cookie stores important information that enhances your browsing experience on the Internet (e.g. language settings for accessing a website; keeping a user logged into a webmail account; online banking security; keeping products in your shopping cart).
WHY ARE COOKIES IMPORTANT FOR THE INTERNET?
Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to create a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to each user's preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some sites unusable.
Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising - it just means that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, as evidenced by your browsing behavior.
EXAMPLES OF IMPORTANT USES OF COOKIES (WHICH DO NOT REQUIRE A USER TO LOG IN THROUGH AN ACCOUNT):
Content and services tailored to user preferences - news categories, weather, sport, maps, public and government services, entertainment sites and travel services.
Offers tailored to users' interests - remember passwords, language preferences (e.g. display search results in English).
Retain child protection filters on internet content (family mode options, safe search features).
Limiting how often ads are shown - limiting the number of times an ad is shown to a particular user on a website.
Provide more relevant advertising to the user.
Measurement, optimization and analytics features - such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is being viewed and how a user gets to a website (e.g. through search engines, directly, from other websites etc).
SECURITY AND PRIVACY ISSUES
Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code so they cannot be executed, nor can they autorun. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate themselves on other networks to run or replicate themselves again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.
Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about users' preferences and browsing history, both on a particular site and on many other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and constantly mark cookies for deletion as part of their anti-virus/anti-spyware deletion/scanning procedures. Browsers generally have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.
Other security issues related to cookies
As identity protection is very valuable and is the right of every Internet user, it is advisable to be aware of the potential problems that cookies can create. Because cookies constantly transmit information back and forth between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes in the data transmission path, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted. Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (e.g. an unsecured WiFi network).
TIPS FOR SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE BROWSING BASED ON COOKIES.
Because of their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and biggest sites use cookies, they are almost unavoidable. Disabling cookies will prevent the user from accessing the most popular and widely used sites including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.
Here are a few tips to make sure you're safe while browsing with cookies:
Customize your browser's cookie settings to reflect a level of cookie security you are comfortable with.
If you don't mind cookies and you're the only person using your computer, you can set long expiry times for storing your browsing history and personal access data.
If you share computer access, you may consider setting your browser to erase individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is one option to access sites that place cookies and delete any visiting information when you close your browsing session.
Install and constantly update your anti-spyware applications.
Many spyware detection and prevention applications include website attack detection. This prevents your browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software. Make sure your browser is always up-to-date. Many cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting weaknesses in older browser versions.
Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and biggest sites on the Internet - local or international. With a clear understanding of how they work and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can confidently surf the Internet.
HOW CAN I STOP COOKIES?
Disabling and refusing to receive cookies may make certain websites impracticable 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 your browser to stop accepting cookies, or you can set your browser to accept cookies from a specific site. But for example, if you are not registered using cookies, you will not be able to leave comments.
All modern browsers offer the possibility to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the "options" or "preferences" menu of your browser.
In order to understand these settings, the following links may be useful, otherwise you can use your browser's "help" option for more details.
