The information presented below is intended to inform the user of more details about the placement, use and management of the "cookies" used by the website https://grafoprint.ro/ .

The term "cookie" is a loanword from the English language, derived from the term "magic cookie", a concept often used in IT. Cookies allow the collection of information about user behavior, basically which web pages they visit and when. For these reasons their use in the United States of America and EU member countries is subject to legal restrictions. Cookies are only texts and cannot perform any operation. 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 adapted to everyone's needs and interests. In what we call "web 2.0", "cookies" play an important role in facilitating the access and delivery of the multiple services that the user enjoys on the Internet, such as personalizing 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 storing those options).

Cookies provide site owners with 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 users and to be able to react according to their actions within a session.

WHAT IS A "COOKIE"?

An "Internet Cookie" (term also known as "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie" or simply "cookie") is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, which will be stored on the computer, or on other a user's equipment from which the Internet is accessed. The cookie is installed through the request issued by a web server to a browser (eg: Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely "passive" (it does not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the hard drive the user).

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.

The cookies themselves do not require personal information in order to be used.

TYPES OF COOKIES

Session cookies - these are temporarily stored in the cookie file of the web browser so that it remembers them until the user leaves the respective website or closes the browser window (eg: at the time of logging in/ logging out on a webmail account).

Persistent Cookies – These are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device (and generally depend on the lifetime of the cookie).

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 that web server again, it can read the information already stored and react accordingly: eg site language options, shopping baskets 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 site and some cookies are retained and reused every time the user returns to that website ('cookie- permanent ures'). Cookies can be deleted by a user at any time through the browser settings. Cookies expire at the end of a session (for example, when the browser is closed) if that cookie is not persistent, if an expiration date has been specified and the date is at the current time in the past, if the expiration date is changed (by to the server or script) at some point in the past, the browser deletes the cookie at the user's request.

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.

WHY ARE COOKIES IMPORTANT TO THE INTERNET?

Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to each user's preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some sites unusable.

Rejecting or deactivating cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising - only that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, highlighted by your browsing behavior.

EXAMPLES OF IMPORTANT USES OF COOKIES (WHICH DO NOT REQUIRE USER AUTHENTICATION THROUGH AN ACCOUNT)
  • Content and services adapted to user preferences – categories of news, weather, sports, maps, public and government services, entertainment sites and travel services.
  • Offers adapted to user interests – password retention, language preferences (eg: display of search results in Romanian).
  • Retention of child protection filters on Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).
  • Limiting the frequency of serving ads – limiting the number of times an ad is shown to a specific user on a site.
  • 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 arrives at a website (eg: through search engines, directly, from other websites- uri 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 auto-run. Consequently, they cannot be duplicated or replicated to other networks to run or replicate 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 across multiple 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 during anti-virus/anti-spyware deletion/scanning procedures. In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a certain site.

Other Security Aspects Related to Cookies

Since identity protection is very valuable and is the right of every Internet user, it is advisable to know what possible problems cookies can create. Because through them information is constantly transmitted in both directions between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes during the data transmission, 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 (eg an unsecured WiFi network).

TIPS FOR SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE BROWSING BASED ON COOKIES

Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest sites use cookies, they are almost unavoidable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user access to the most widespread and used sites including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.

Here are some tips that can ensure that you browse without worries but with the help of cookies:

  • Customize your browser cookie settings to reflect a comfortable level of cookie security for you.
  • If you don't mind cookies and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration periods for storing your browsing history and personal access data.
  • If you share computer access, you may consider setting your browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is an option to access sites that place cookies and delete any visit information when you close your browsing session.
  • Always install and update your antispyware applications.
  • Many spyware detection and prevention applications include detection of site attacks. Thus, it prevents the browser from accessing websites that might exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software.
