Cookie Policy

Policy on the Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies

This policy refers to the cookies and similar technologies used, as applicable, on the websites and applications operated by SC Oriental International Business SRL, headquartered in Bucharest, Intrarea Godeni 114, sector 6 (hereinafter referred to as TDV ART).

Cookies are used for the following purposes:

• site operation,

• analysis of visitor behavior on the site,

• advertising.

This policy complements TDV ART’s general policy on personal data protection, which you can find here and which we encourage you to read. It includes additional useful information, including details about TDV ART’s Data Protection Officer, all purposes of data processing by TDV ART, your rights, as well as their exceptions and limitations, etc.

Proper protection of personal data is an important objective for TDV ART. Our aim is to be as clear and transparent as possible regarding TDV ART’s approach on this matter. For any questions, please contact us at office@tablouri-de-vis.ro.

2. What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal, or other equipment of a user accessing the internet. The cookie is installed through a request sent by the user’s terminal to a TDV ART server or to a third-party server.

3. What are cookies used for?

These files mainly make it possible to recognize the user’s terminal and present content in a way that is relevant and adapted to the user’s preferences.

Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support TDV ART’s efforts to offer services better tailored to users, e.g., online privacy preferences, shopping cart, or relevant advertising. They are also used in preparing anonymous, aggregated statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our websites, allowing us to improve their structure and content without personally identifying the user.

4. What cookies do we use?

We use two types of cookies: session and persistent. Session cookies are temporary files that remain on the user’s terminal until the session ends or the application is closed. Persistent cookies remain on the user’s terminal for a period set by the cookie’s parameters or until manually deleted by the user.

5. How are cookies used by this site?

A visit to this site may place the following types of cookies:

• strictly necessary cookies for site operation,

• analytics cookies,

• advertising cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies and/or similar technologies are essential for the proper functioning of the site, being set on your device when accessing the site or following actions performed on the site, as applicable. You can set your browser to block cookies, but in this case, certain sections of the site will not function correctly.

Other categories of cookies serve the purposes indicated in section 11.

6. Do cookies or similar technologies contain personal data?

Cookies or similar technologies themselves do not require personal data to be used and, in many cases, do not personally identify internet users. However, there are situations where personal data may be collected through the use of cookies to facilitate certain functionalities for the user or to provide the user with a browsing experience better adapted to their preferences. Such data is encrypted in a way that prevents unauthorized access.

What are similar technologies?
There are other technologies that may be used for the same purposes as cookies.

7. Blocking cookies

If you choose to block cookies, some functionalities of the site will be stopped, which may generate certain malfunctions or errors when using our site.

If you agree with these limitations and wish to block cookies, follow the instructions below:

Most browsers are set by default to accept cookies, but you can change these settings to block some or all cookies.

Choose your browser from the list below to display the instructions you need to follow after opening the browser.

The links above do not belong to TDV ART sites, and TDV ART is not responsible for their content.

8. Managing cookie placement preferences

In general, an application used to access web pages allows the saving of cookies and/or similar technologies on the terminal by default. These are stored for the periods described in the table in section 11 below. These settings can be changed so that the automatic management of cookies is blocked by the web browser, or the user is informed each time cookies are sent to their terminal.

Detailed information about the possibilities and modes of cookie management can be found in the application (web browser) settings area. Limiting the use of cookies may affect certain functionalities of the website.

9. Why are cookies and/or similar technologies important for the Internet?

Cookies and/or similar technologies 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 websites or parts of websites unusable.

Disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising, in compliance with the law—it only means that the advertising will no longer take into account your preferences and interests highlighted by your browsing behavior.

Examples of important uses of cookies (that do not require user authentication via an account):

• Content and services adapted to user preferences – categories of products and services.

• Offers tailored to user interests.

• Remembering passwords.

• Remembering child protection filters for Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).

• Limiting the frequency of ad displays – limiting the number of times a particular ad is shown to a user on a site.

• Delivering relevant advertising for the user.

• Measuring, optimizing, and adjusting 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 (e.g., via search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.). Websites run these usage analyses to improve their services for users’ benefit.

10. Security and privacy aspects

Browsers generally include privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a site.

Other security aspects related to cookies:

• Customizing your browser settings regarding cookies to reflect a comfortable level of security for you.

• If you are the only person using the computer, you can set, if you wish, long expiration terms for storing browsing history and personal access data.

• If you share access to the computer, you may consider setting your browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close the browser. This is one way to access sites that place cookies and delete any visit information when the browsing session ends.
