What is a "cookie"?

An “internet Cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie” or simply a “cookie”) is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, that will be stored on your computer, mobile terminal or other equipment of a user from which the Internet is accessed.
The cookie is sent through a request issued by the web server on which the site is hosted, to the user’s browser (Ex: Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, etc.) and is completely “passive”, in the sense that it does not contain software, viruses or spyware, nor can it access information on the user’s hard drive.
A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and content or value of the cookie and is uniquely associated with the domain that hosts the site that sent it to the user’s browser (eg senariamanagement.com). Moreover, the duration of a cookie is determined and only the webserver that sent the cookie can access it again, and only when the user returns to the site associated with that webserver.

Cookies do not request personal information in order to be used, nor can they personally identify internet users.

There are two main categories of cookies:

  • Session cookies – these are temporarily stored in the web browser’s cookie folder until the user leaves the site or closes the browser window.
  • Persistent cookies – these are stored on your computer or hard drive for a longer period of time and remain stored even after you leave the site or close your web browser (and generally depend on the default lifetime for the cookie).

Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one the user is currently visiting – known as “third party cookies” – which can be used anonymously to memorize a user’s interests so that the most relevant advertising for the user is delivered.

The advantages of cookies

A cookie contains information that links a browser (user) to a specific web server (site). If a browser accesses that web server again, it can read the information already stored and react accordingly. 

Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support the efforts of many sites to provide comfortable services to users. Examples – online privacy preferences, site language options or relevant advertising, etc.

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 not retained after the user leaves the site, and some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that site (“permanent cookies”). However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time via browser settings.

Cookies placed by third parties

Certain sections of content on some sites may be provided through third parties / providers (e.g. news box, video or advertisement). These third parties may also place cookies through the site and they are called “third party cookies” because they are not placed by that site. Third party providers must also comply with the law in force and the privacy policies of the site owner.

Use of cookies by this site

Visiting this site may place cookies for the purposes of:

  • Site performance cookies
  • Visitor analysis cookies
  • Registration or authentication cookies
  • Third party cookies

Performance cookies

This type of cookie retains the user’s preferences on this site, so there is no need to set them each time you visit the site.

Visitor analysis cookies

Each time a user visits this site, the analytics software provided by a third party generates a user analysis cookie. This cookie tells us if you have visited this site before. The browser communicates if this cookie exists, and if not, one is generated. This allows monitoring of unique users who visit the site and how often they do so.

This cookie cannot be used to identify individuals, they are only used for statistical purposes.

Cookies for registration or authentication

When you register or log in to this site, a cookie is generated that notifies us if you are registered or not. Our server uses these cookies to identify the account with which you are registered and whether you have the necessary permissions for a particular service or for access to sections of the site. 

It also allows the association of the comments you post on the site with the username of your account. If you have not selected “keep me registered”, this cookie will be automatically deleted when you close your browser or computer.

Third party cookies

On some pages, third parties may set their own anonymous cookies in order to track the success of an ad / application or to customize an application. Due to usage, this site cannot access these cookies, just as third parties cannot access the cookies held by this site.

Third party online advertising Some of them use their own anonymous cookies to analyze how many people viewed an ad, or to see

how many people viewed the same ad multiple times. 

The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies, and this site does not have access to these cookies. Third-party cookies are used to show you targeted advertising on other sites as well, based on your browsing on this site.

The type of information stored and accessed through cookies

Cookies store information in a small text file that allows a site to recognize a browser. The web server will recognize the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted. 

The cookie stores important information that enhances your Internet browsing experience. Ex: settings regarding the language in which you want to access a site, keeping a user logged in to the member account or email account, online security, keeping and saving some settings, etc.

The importance of cookies for the Internet

Cookies are the focal point of the efficient operation of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience, adapted to the preferences and interests of each user. Declining or disabling
cookies may make some sites impossible to use.

Declining or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising, but 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 a user to authenticate through an account):

  • Content and services tailored to user preferences – categories of news, weather, sports, maps, public and government services, entertainment sites and travel services.
  • Offers adapted to users' interests – password retention, language preferences (Ex: displaying search results in Romanian).
  • Retention of child protection filters on Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).
  • Limit the frequency of ad serving – Limit the number of impressions of an ad for a specific user on a site.
  • Providing user-relevant advertising.
  • Measurement, optimization and analytics features – such as the confirmation of a certain level of traffic on a site, what type of content is viewed more and how a user gets to the site (eg through search engines, directly from other sites etc.). Sites conduct these analyzes of their use to improve the sites for the benefit of the user.

Remarketing policy

On the pages of the senariamanagement.com website, cookies are collected through a remarketing tag and a conversion code, received from Google AdWords, a number that uniquely identifies a web browser on a certain computer, not a person). The Google remarketing tag collects cookies to display ads on Google Display websites and in Google Search.

When users visit a page of the website that contains a remarketing tag, the browser cookie they use is added to a remarketing list. A remarketing list is a set of user cookies, generated by one or more labels for remarketing.

Google AdWords uses cookies to show sponsored ads on Google Display websites and Google Search to users who have visited the pages of the senariamanagement.com website. If you do not agree with Google’s use of cookies, disabling can be done through Ad Preferences Manager.

Security and privacy issues

Cookies are NOT viruses! They use a plain text format. They are not made up of pieces of code, so they cannot be executed or run. As a result, you cannot duplicate or replicate to other networks to run or replicate again. As they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses. However, cookies can be used for negative purposes. Because it stores information about users’
preferences and browsing history, both on a single site and on multiple sites, cookies can be used as aform of spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this and constantly mark cookies to be deleted during anti-virus / anti-spyware deletion / scanning procedures.

In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of acceptance of cookies, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.

Other security issues related to cookies.

Given that the protection of identity is very important and represents the right of every internet user, it is advisable to know what are the possible problems that may arise in connection with cookies. As information is constantly transmitted between them in both directions between the browser and the site, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes during the transmission of data, the information contained in the cookie may be intercepted. Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (Ex: an unsecured Wi-Fi network).

Other cookie-based attacks involve incorrect cookie settings on servers.

If a site does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. Attackers then use the information in order to gain unauthorized access to certain sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method of protecting your personal information.
