What are cookies? 

An “Internet Cookie” (also known as “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie” or “cookie”) is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, which will be stored on your computer, mobile device or other User equipment providing access to the internet. 

Cookies are installed following a request sent by a web server to a browser (for example, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari). Once installed, cookies have a limited life span, remaining “passive” in the sense that they do not contain software, viruses or spyware and they will not access data from the hard drive of a User on whose device they were installed. 

A cookie consists of two parts: 

• name  

and 

• cookie content or value. 

Technically speaking, a cookie is associated with a domain name. Only a web server that serves pages from the same domain name (for example: ivelo.ro) can read the cookies set on that domain. There are different cookie categories, as follows: 

• Session cookies – A “session cookie” is a cookie that is automatically deleted when the user exits the browser; 
• Persistent Cookies – A “persistent cookie” is a cookie which remains stored on the user’s device until it reaches a certain expiration date (ranging from minutes or days to a few years in the future). 

Cookies can also be classified as follows: 

Strictly necessary cookies – These cookies are essential for allowing you to use the website efficiently, for example when you purchase a product and/or a service, therefore they cannot be disabled. Without these cookies, the services available on our website cannot be provided. These cookies do not collect data about you which could be used for marketing or for remembering where you have been on the internet. 

Preference cookies – Preference cookies allow a website to remember information that changes depending on how the Website behaves or is displayed, such as your preferred language or your region. 

Performance and statistics cookies – These cookie modules allow our website to understand how visitors interact with the websites by anonymously collecting and reporting information, enabling us to monitor and improve the performance of our website.

What life span do cookies have? 

Cookies are managed by web servers. The life span of a cookie may vary, since it depends on the purpose of its placement. Some cookies are exclusively used for a single session (the so called “session cookies”) and stop being stored the moment the user leaves the web page. Some cookies are stored and re-used every time the user comes back to the same web page (i.e. “persistent cookies”) Even so, users can delete the cookies at any moment through the browser settings. 

What are third-party cookies? 

Third parties that provide cookies must also comply with the data protection regulations and the privacy policy available on our Website. These cookies may come from the following third parties, such as Google Analytics.

If the computer or technical equipment used for browsing on the Web Page is operated by multiple people, one may consider enabling the deletion of individual browsing data every time the browser is closed.
