2. Cookies policy
The following information aims to familiarize you with several aspects regarding the use and management of "cookies" by the Website www.irinaalexandru.com. You are also provided with some relevant links on this topic.
We encourage you to carefully read the details that follow.
Our website uses cookies to improve the browsing experience and to offer services adapted to the interests of each visitor. In "web 2.0", cookies play an essential role in optimizing and facilitating access to various online services, such as:
- Customizing settings, for example, choosing the language in which a site is displayed.
- Providing valuable feedback to site owners about how they are being used, enabling improvements in functionality and accessibility.
- Successful integration of multimedia content from other sites to enrich the browsing experience.
- Increasing the effectiveness of online advertising.
What is a Cookie?
An "Internet Cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie", "HTTP cookie", or simply "cookie") is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that will be stored on your computer, mobile device or other equipment of a user through which the internet is accessed.
The installation of the cookie is carried out at the request issued by a web server to a browser (eg: Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely passive (does not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the user's hard drive) .
A cookie consists of name and content (cookie value), its lifetime being determined. Only the web server that sent the cookie can access and read the information again when the user returns to the site associated with that server. Cookies do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users.
There are two main types of cookies, each with its own role in improving your online experience:
- Session Cookies: These are temporarily created in the cookie folder of your web browser when you access a website. Their role is to retain information during your visit to the site, being deleted automatically when you close your browser or exit the site. Examples of use include the process of logging into a webmail or social network account, where session cookies retain your login status.
- Persistent Cookies: Unlike session cookies, persistent cookies are saved on the hard drive of your computer or device for a predetermined period and are not deleted when you close your browser. They "remember" your preferences and actions on a website to provide you with a personalized experience on subsequent visits. Persistent cookies also include third party cookies, which are placed by a different website than the one you are visiting. These are often used for online advertising and analytics, remembering your interests to provide you with more relevant advertising.
Third-party cookies can collect information about your browsing habits anonymously and are often used by advertising networks to target online advertising to your interests. It is important to be aware of these practices in order to make informed choices about accepting or rejecting cookies when browsing the Internet.
Cookies offer numerous advantages that contribute to a more efficient and pleasant browsing experience on the Internet.
Cookies Advantages
Personalized Browsing Experience: Cookies store preferences such as your preferred language, site theme or location, facilitating quick access to the desired settings when you return to the site.
Support for Various Services: They help the smooth functioning of complex services such as online shopping carts by maintaining the products selected by the user during navigation.
Advertising Optimization: By memorizing the user's interests, cookies enable the display of relevant advertisements, increasing the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
Site Feedback: Helps site owners understand how visitors use their sites, providing essential data to improve and optimize content and services.
Cookie Lifespan
The lifetime of cookies varies depending on the purpose for which they are created:
Session Cookies: These are temporary and are automatically deleted when the user closes the browser.
Permanent Cookies: They are stored on the user's device and are not automatically deleted when the browser is closed. They are used to recognize the user when returning to the site.
Users can delete cookies at any time through their browser settings
Cookies Placed by Third Parties
They are set by web domains other than the one you are visiting directly (for example, via a banner ad on a visited site). They are used to provide targeted advertising and to collect statistics about internet browsing behavior in an anonymous manner. Third-party providers are required to comply with applicable law and the privacy policies of the site on which the cookies are placed.
The cookies used by this site
The Site www.irinaalexandru.com uses various types of cookies to improve the browsing experience and to offer services and functionalities adapted to the needs of visitors. Here is how cookies are used on this Site:
Performance Cookies: These cookies store user preferences for this Site, eliminating the need to reconfigure them on each visit. Examples include video player volume settings or streaming speed compatible with the user's browser.
Cookies for Visitor Analysis: When you visit the Site, an analysis cookie is generated by a third-party analytics software. It determines whether you have visited the Site before. The cookie helps to monitor the number of unique visitors and the frequency of their visits. This information is used for statistical purposes and does not personally identify users, unless they are registered on the site. For registered users, the information may include details such as email address and username, which are treated confidentially under data protection legislation.
Cookies for Geotargeting*: A software determines the country you are visiting from in order to provide you with geographically relevant content. These cookies are completely anonymous and are used exclusively to personalize and improve the browsing experience.
Registration Cookies*: These cookies are created when you register on the site and are used to recognize you as a registered user, giving you access to specific sections or services. If you do not choose the "keep me registered" option, these cookies will be deleted when you close your browser or computer.
Cookies for Advertising*: These cookies are used to collect information about how you interact with online advertising on the site. They help target advertising, ensuring that the ads shown are relevant to your interests. These cookies may also come from third parties, allowing more precise targeting of advertising based on your previous internet activity. They are anonymous and focus on the content viewed, not the users.
Cookies of Advertising Providers*: Advertising on the site may be managed by third parties, who use their own anonymous cookies to analyze exposure to advertising campaigns and the frequency with which users are exposed to a particular advertisement. These companies have their own privacy policies and the site does not have the ability to read or write these third-party cookies. They may also be used to provide you with personalized advertising on other websites based on your browsing on this website.
Other Third Party Cookies: In certain sections of the site, third parties may set their own anonymous cookies to monitor the success of an application or to personalize an application. The site cannot access these third-party cookies, similar to how third parties cannot access cookies set by the site. An example would be the use of share buttons for social networks, which may record their use by setting their own cookies.
These cookies, whether set by the site or by third parties, play an important role in improving your online experience by providing you with content and advertising relevant to your interests. It is important that you understand their role and purpose in order to be able to navigate internet in an informed and safe way.

The types of information stored and accessed through cookies
Cookies store a variety of essential information to improve your online experience. They are saved in small text files that allow a website to recognize a user's browser. The web server will identify the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted. Important information kept includes:
- Language preferences for browsing websites.
- Maintaining user authentication on sites, such as webmail accounts or online banking platforms.
- Internet browsing security, including financial transactions.
- Keeping products in shopping carts on e-commerce sites.
Importance of Cookies for the Internet
Cookies are essential for the efficient functioning of the Internet, contributing to the creation of a browsing experience adapted to the preferences of each user. Without cookies, using websites would be much more complicated and less efficient. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some sites difficult to use. Also, refusing cookies does not mean you will get rid of online advertising; it just means that the advertising shown will not be tailored to your interests.
Examples of valuable uses of cookies include:
- Personalization of content and services according to user preferences (eg: news, weather, sports categories).
- Remembering passwords and language preferences.
- Maintaining child protection settings on the Internet (eg: family mode, safe search).
- Managing the frequency with which advertisements are displayed, providing relevant advertising to the user.
- Conducting site analyzes and optimizations by measuring traffic and understanding how users arrive at the site.
Cookies therefore play a crucial role in facilitating and improving internet browsing, allowing websites to provide a more personalized and secure experience to users. They also help deliver more relevant advertising and continually improve online content and services for the benefit of users.
Security and privacy issues
Cookies are essential elements for the functioning of the Internet, providing a smooth and personalized browsing experience to users. It is important to understand that:
Cookies are not viruses: They are plain text files and cannot execute code, are not self-executing, and therefore cannot be duplicated or spread to other networks to be executed or copied again. This aspect excludes them from the category of viruses or malware.
Potential negative uses: Although cookies themselves are not harmful, the information they store about user preferences and browsing history can be used in ways that violate privacy. Some anti-spyware programs recognize this risk and mark cookies for removal during antivirus scans.
Browser privacy settings: Most browsers offer privacy settings that allow users to adjust the level of cookie acceptance, their validity period and automatic deletion after visiting a site. These settings provide additional control over cookies and personal information.
Security and Cookies
Security risks: The unencrypted transmission of information between the browser and the website can make data stored in cookies vulnerable to interception by attackers, especially when using unsecured WiFi networks. It is essential to use encrypted connections and pay attention to the security settings of websites.
Cookie-based attacks: Certain vulnerabilities can be exploited by attackers to intercept cookies if sites do not force the browser to use encrypted channels. This may lead to unauthorized access to user accounts on various sites.
Protection of Personal Information
It is crucial that you choose appropriate methods to protect your personal information, including using advanced browser privacy settings, avoiding unsecured public WiFi networks, and ensuring that the sites you visit use encrypted connections (HTTPS).
By understanding how cookies work and the associated risks, users can make informed decisions about managing their online privacy and how to protect themselves against potential threats to the security of their personal data.
Tips for safe and responsible browsing on the Internet, based on cookies
Surfing the Internet safely and responsibly in the context of the use of cookies requires a clear understanding of how they work and what steps you can take to protect your privacy online. Here are some helpful tips to make sure you surf the internet worry-free while taking advantage of cookies:
Customize your Browser Settings: Adjust your browser settings according to your comfort level with the use of cookies. Most browsers offer options for managing and limiting cookies from the websites you visit.
Manage Privacy Settings for Computer Sharing: If the computer is used by several people, it may be prudent to configure the browser to automatically delete browsing data when it is closed. This includes browsing history, cookies and login information.
Use Antispyware Applications: Install and update antispyware programs regularly. Many security applications include features to block cookies from suspicious sites or to warn about sites that may try to exploit browser vulnerabilities.
Keep Your Browser Updated: Make sure you are using the latest version of your browser. Updates often include security patches for newly discovered vulnerabilities that could be exploited through cookies.
Be Informed and Aware: Understand how cookies are used by the websites you visit. Reading the sites' privacy policies can help you understand what types of cookies are used and how the information collected is managed.
Manage Third Party Cookies: Be aware of cookies placed by third parties, such as advertising networks. These cookies are used to track your browsing behavior in order to provide you with personalized advertising. Many browsers allow the blocking of third-party cookies.
By adopting these practices, you can benefit from the functionality provided by cookies while maintaining a high level of online security and privacy. Responsible browsing involves a balance between the convenience offered by cookies and the protection of personal data.
