COOKIE POLICY
The safety of your data is important to us, so we take seriously every aspect regarding the protection of your data.
The website https://cliniciledrleahu.ro/en/ uses cookies.
Starting with May 25, 2018, Regulation (EU) 679/2016 was implemented on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation). This means that any controller/entity that processes personal data must apply these new requirements and transparently provide information on how the data is processed.
Given the need to comply with the requirements of the GDPR, as well as the fact that we are dedicated to taking care of your personal data (which may include name, surname, e-mail address, etc. depending on the purpose of the processing) that are found in our data base, we inform you that the data is used only for the purpose of successfully completing the processes caried out in relation to you
To improve your online browsing experience, we use cookies that facilitate the use of the website https://cliniciledrleahu.ro/ . The full list of cookies can be found below.
WHAT IS A „COOKIE”?
An “Internet Cookie” (also known as “cookie browser” or “HTTP cookie” or simply “cookie”) is a small file with letters and numbers that is stored on the user’s computer, mobile terminal or other equipment on which the Internet is accessed. The cookie is installed by a web server’s browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome, Mozilla Firefox) and is completely “passive” (it does not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the user’s hard drive).
A cookie consists of two parts: the name and the content or the value of the cookie. Furthermore, the duration of a cookie is limited; technically, only the web server that has sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that web server.
Cookies play an important role in facilitating the access and delivery of multiple services the user enjoys on the Internet, such as:
- Customize certain settings such as: the language in which a website is viewed, the currency in which certain prices or fees are expressed, storage of options regarding various products (measures, other details, etc.).
- Cookies provide site owners with valuable feedback on how their websites are used by users so they can make them more effective and accessible to users.
- Allow multimedia or other applications from other sites to be included in a specific website to create a more valuable, useful, and enjoyable browsing experience.
- Improve the effectiveness of online advertising.
Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not identify themselves Internet users. There are 2 large cookie categories:
• Session cookies – they are temporarily stored in the web browser’s cookie folder to save them until the user exits the site or closes the browser window (e.g. when logging on/off webmail or social networking account).
• Persistent cookies – they are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device (and it generally depends on the default cookie lifetime). Persistent cookies include those placed on a website other than the one the user is currently visiting – known as ‘third party cookies’ – which can be used anonymously to store a user’s interests to deliver relevant advertising to users.
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 only for a single session (session cookies) and are no longer retained once the user has left the website, and some cookies are retained and reused every time the user returns to that website (permanent cookies type). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time through the browser settings.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF COOKIES?
A cookie contains information that connects a web browser (the user) and a specific web server (the website). If a browser accesses the web server again, it can read the information already stored and react accordingly. In general, the role of cookies is to ensure a quick and easy interaction between users and websites. Cookies are also used so that users can easily resume their activities at the next access to a previously visited website. Basically, cookies tell the server which pages should be shown to the user, without the user having to remember the pages he has visited or navigate the entire website from the beginning.
WHAT ARE THIRD PARTY COOKIES?
Certain sections of content on some websites may be provided through third parties/providers (e.g.: news box, a video, or an advertisement). These third parties can also place cookies through the website, and they are called „ third party cookies because they are not placed by the owner of the website. Third party providers must also comply with applicable law and the privacy policies of the website owner.
WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?
- For visitors’ analysis
- For advertising
- To better understand the interests of our customers and website visitors
- For geotargeting
- For performance
- Registration cookies
- Advertising provider cookies
HOW ARE COOKIES USED ON THIS WEBSITE?
Session cookies
Session cookies are stored on the user’s device during the browsing session. They store an anonymous session identifier, allowing the user to visit a website without having to enter identifying information (username, password, etc.) on each page.
Such cookies are frequently used in an online store and not only. For example, when the user visits a certain page and selects certain products, the cookie remembers the selected products and adds them to the shopping cart, which will contain all the selected products when the user wants to leave the page.
Session cookies are stored in the device’s memory only during an internet browsing session and are removed when the browser is closed. They can also become inaccessible if the session has been inactive for a certain period.
Performance cookies remember the user’s preferences on this site, so that there is no need to set them each time the site is visited. For example, the volume settings for the video player or the video streaming speed with which the browser is compatible.
Each time a user visits this website, analytics software provided by a third party generates a user analytics cookie. This cookie tells us if you have visited this website before. Your browser will tell us if you have this cookie, and if you don’t, we’ll generate one. It allows tracking of unique users who visit us and how often they do so. This cookie cannot be used to identify individuals, they are used only for statistical purposes.
Cookies for geotargeting are used by software that determines which country you come from. It is completely anonymous and is only used to target content – even when you are on our page in Romanian or another language, you receive the same ad.
Advertising cookies allow us to know whether you have viewed an online advertisement, what type of advertisement it is, and how long it has been since you saw the advertisement. We also use these cookies to target online advertising. We may also use third party cookies to better target advertising. These cookies are anonymous, they store information about the content viewed, not about the users. We also set anonymous cookies through other websites on which we advertise. By receiving them in this way, we can use them to recognize you as a visitor to that website if you subsequently visit our website, we can deliver advertising to you based on this information.
Registration cookies inform us whether you are registered on our website or not. We use these cookies to see which account you are registered with if you can use a certain functionality of the website.
Third-party cookies may be used to show you targeted advertising on other websites as well, depending on your browsing on our website.
WHAT TYPE 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 will recognize the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted. The cookie stores important information that improves the internet browsing experience (for example: user session id, referral page, current time, etc.)
WHY ARE COOKIES IMPORTANT FOR THE INTERNET?
Cookies are the central focus for an effective Internet usage, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience and adjusted to each user’s preferences and interests. Denying or disabling cookies can make some sites impossible to use. Denying or disabling cookies does not mean you will not receive online advertising – it means it will no longer be able to keep track of your preferences and interests highlighted by your browsing behavior.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require authentication of a user via an account):
- Customized content and services depending on the user’s preferences.
- Offers customized to the user’s interests – language preferences (For example, displaying search results in Romanian).
- Providing 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 viewed, and how a user reaches a website (for example, via search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.). Websites run these analyzes of their use to improve web sites for the users’ benefit.
SECURITY AND PRIVACY ISSUES RELATED TO CONFIDENTIALITY?
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 auto-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate again. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses. However, cookies can be used for negative purposes. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this, and they constantly mark cookies to be deleted in anti-virus / anti-spyware removal / scanning procedures.
In general, browsers have built-in privacy settings providing different levels of cookie acceptance, validity, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.
Retention of personal data
The personal data that we store for the purpose of execution of the contracts and processing your requests, after the completion of the contract or your request, we save the data taking into account the retention periods according to tax and commercial legislation and where appropriate for a period necessary to protect our rights.
HOW CAN I STOP COOKIES?
Disabling and refusing to receive cookies can make some sites inaccessible or difficult to visit and use. Refusing to accept cookies does not mean you will not get / see online advertising anymore.
It is possible to set up the browser so that these cookies are no longer supported, or you can set the browser to accept cookies from a particular site.
Some web browsers have a „do not track” feature that allows users not to be tracked while browsing. Blocking cookies or using „do not track” mode may block certain functionality on our website.
All modern browsers provide the ability to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in your browser’s “options” or “preferences” menu.
The following links may be useful to understand these settings; otherwise, you can use the browser’s “help” option for more details.
- Internet Explorer cookie settings
