COOKIES POLICY
The following information is intended to provide the user with more details about the placement, use and management of cookies used by the www.a-home.ro website.
This website uses cookies in order to provide visitors with a much better browsing experience and services tailored to their needs and interests.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small file made up of letters and numbers that will be stored on a user’s computer, mobile terminal or other equipment from which the Internet is accessed. The cookie is installed by a web-server’s request to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (it contains no software, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user’s hard disk).
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 not retained after the user has left the website, while other cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website (persistent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time via the browser settings.
How are cookies used by this website?
A visit to this website may place cookies for the following purposes:
Site performance cookies
Visitor analytics cookies
Advertising cookies
Advertisers’ cookies
What cookies do we use?
We use two types of cookies: per-session and fixed. Per-session cookies are temporary files that remain on the user’s terminal until the session ends or the application (web browser) is closed. Fixed cookies remain on the user’s terminal for a period defined by the cookie settings or until manually deleted by the user.
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 sites unusable. Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you stop receiving online advertising, it just means that it may no longer take into account your preferences and interests, as evidenced by your browsing behavior. Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require the user to sign in through an account):
Content and services tailored to user preferences – categories of services.
Offers tailored to the user’s interests – keeping passwords
Preservation of child protection filters on internet content (family mode options, safe search functions)
Limiting ad frequency – limiting the number of times an ad is shown for a particular user on a website
Making advertising more relevant to the user
Measurement, optimization and analysis functions – such as confirming a certain level of traffic to a website, what type of content is being viewed and how a user gets to a website (e.g. through search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.).
Websites perform these usage analytics to improve their websites for the benefit of their users.
