Cookie Policy of the Website www.luizarotariu.com
The website www.luizarotariu.com uses cookies (like most websites in Romania and internationally).
This technology allows us to offer our visitors the best possible experience when using the website.
Our website uses first-party and third-party cookies to provide visitors with a better browsing experience and services tailored to each person's needs and interests. The complete list of third-party cookies can be found below.
Also, this website contains links to third-party websites; once these links are accessed, users are subject to the policy of that respective website.
Cookies play an important role in facilitating access to and delivery of multiple services that the user enjoys on the Internet, such as:
Personalizing certain settings such as: the language in which a site is displayed, the currency in which certain prices or rates are shown, saving options for various products (sizes, other details, etc.).
Cookies provide site owners with valuable feedback on how their sites are used by visitors, so that they can make them more efficient and more accessible for users.
They allow multimedia applications or other types of content from other sites to be included on a given site to create a more valuable, useful and pleasant browsing experience.
What is a "cookie"?
An "Internet Cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie" or "http cookie" or simply a "cookie") is a small file made up of letters and numbers that is stored on the computer, mobile device or other equipment of a user accessing the Internet. The cookie is installed by a request sent from a web server to a browser (e.g.: Internet Explorer, Chrome, Mozilla Firefox) and is completely "passive" (it does not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user's hard drive).
A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and its content or value. Moreover, the lifespan of a cookie is determined; technically, only the webserver that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that webserver.
Cookies themselves do not request personal data to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users. There are 2 major categories of cookies:
Session cookies – these are stored temporarily in the browser's cookie folder so that the browser remembers them until the user leaves the respective website or closes the browser window (e.g.: when logging in/out of a webmail account or social networks).
Persistent cookies – These are stored on the computer's hard drive or device (and generally depend on the cookie's preset lifetime). Persistent cookies also include those placed by another website than the one the user is visiting at the time – known as 'third party cookies' – which can be used anonymously to remember a user's interests so that more relevant advertising can be delivered to users.
What are the advantages of cookies?
Cookies are managed by webservers. The lifespan 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 once the user has left the website, while some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website ('permanent cookies'). Nevertheless, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time via the browser settings.

This cookie name is associated with Google Universal Analytics - which is a significant upgrade of the most commonly used Google analytics service. This cookie is used to distinguish unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier. It is included in every page request from a site and is used to calculate visitor, session and campaign data for site analytics reports.
What type of information is stored and accessed via cookies?
Cookies store information in a small plain text file that allows a website to recognize a browser. The webserver will recognize the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted. The cookie stores important information that improves the browsing experience (for example: user session id, referral page, current time, etc.).
Why are cookies important for the Internet?
Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to create a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to each user's preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some websites impossible to use. Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising – it only means that such advertising will no longer take into account your preferences and interests shown through your browsing behavior.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require user authentication via an account):
Content and services tailored to the user's preferences
Offers adapted to the user's interests – language preferences
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 (for example: via search engines, direct, from other websites, etc.). Websites run these usage analyses to improve sites for the benefit of users.
Security and privacy concerns?
Cookies ARE NOT viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made of code fragments so they cannot be executed nor can they self-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate across networks to run or replicate again. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses. Cookies can, however, be used for negative purposes. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this and constantly mark cookies for deletion during virus/anti-spyware scanning/cleanup procedures.
In general, browsers have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, expiration period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a certain site.
How can I stop cookies?
Disabling and refusing to receive cookies may make some websites impractical or difficult to visit and use. Also, refusing to accept cookies does not mean you will no longer receive/see online advertising.
It is possible to set your browser so that these cookies are no longer accepted or you can set the browser to accept cookies from a particular site only.
All modern browsers offer the ability to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in "options" or in the browser's "preferences" menu.
To understand these settings, the following links may be helpful, otherwise you can use your browser's "help" option for more details.
