COOKIE USE POLICY
The following information is intended to inform the user about the placement, use and administration of cookies used by CORDIA PARCULUI RESIDENTIAL PROJECT SRL through www.parcului20.ro.
This website uses both its own cookies and third parties’ cookies in order to provide its users with an improved browsing experience and services tailored to the needs and interests of each individual visitor.
- What is a “cookie”?
An “Internet cookie” (a term also known as “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie” or simply “cookie”) is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that will be stored on your computer, mobile terminal or on other equipment used to acces the website.
- Structure
A cookie has two parts: the name and the content or the value of the cookie. Moreover, the lifetime of a cookie is determined; from a technical point of view, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that web server.
We therefore use two types of cookies: per session and fixed. The first are temporary files that remain in the user’s terminal until the end of the session or the closing of the application (the web browser). Fixed files remain on the user’s terminal for the duration set in the cookie’s parameters or until they are manualluy deleted by the user.
- Installation
The cookie is installed by a request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) and is completely “passive” as it does not contain software, viruses or spyware and it cannot access the information on the hard drive of the user.
Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users.
