Cookie Policy

Website frize.ro uses cookies to improve the visitor experience.

1. What are cookies and for what purpose they are used

Cookies are small data files, made up of a series of letters and numbers, which are installed in the memory of a computer or other device used for online browsing (phone or tablet) when the user accesses a certain website . Cookies are installed by the request issued by the web server of a browser. Thus, the website accessed by the user transmits information to his browser, which in turn will create a text file that will represent the cookie. Only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when the user returns to that server's website. Cookies are completely passive, so they cannot be executed like codes, nor can they be used to transmit software programs or viruses to the user. Also, even if the cookies are stored on the user's hard disk, they cannot access the information there in any way. Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users. They are used in order to make the site work as you expect and to offer you a personalized web experience. Thus, frize.ro uses cookies on the site to manage connection periods, to provide personalized content and to adapt searches within the site to reflect the special needs and interests of each user. Also, cookies can be used to prepare anonymous, synoptic statistical reports, which allow us to perceive how the public uses the site and to improve its structure and content. We cannot establish your identity based on this information.

2. Storage duration of cookies

Cookies are stored in the device for a determined period, which differs depending on the purpose for which they are used. Thus, some cookies are stored for a single use (session cookies), and others are stored for a certain period of time in order to be reused (persistent cookies).

3. Removing and blocking cookies

You can change your browser settings at any time (by accessing the Options/Settings/Preferences menu in your browser) to disable the use of cookies, as well as to remove certain cookies or all cookies saved in the device. However, you should know that certain functions of the site are only available with the help of cookies. Thus, disabling and refusing to receive cookies can make certain sections/pages of the site impractical or difficult to visit and use. Also, you may not receive communications from us that may be relevant to users' needs/interests.

4. Types of cookies used

Some cookies we use are absolutely necessary (necessary cookies). They have a defining meaning for the correct functioning of the site and allow you to navigate and use its functions. The necessary cookies do not recognize your personal identification data. Without these, however, we cannot offer an efficient operation of the site. In addition to the necessary cookies, there are also performance cookies. These cookies collect information about how visitors use the site, for example, which sections are visited more often and if they receive error messages from them. These cookies collect common information that does not identify any user. Performance cookies are used exclusively to improve the site's performance. We also use functionality cookies. These cookies allow the site to "remember" the user's options, such as the name, the language used or the region in order to offer improved or personalized functions. They can also be used to provide the services requested by the user, such as watching video files or using online social media. The information collected by these cookies can become anonymous, not being possible to monitor browsing on other websites. If you do not accept these cookies, the efficiency and functionality of the site may be affected and your access to its content may be limited.

• Cookies specific to an online session

Web pages have no memory. A user who navigates from one web page to another will be considered by the website as a new user. Session-specific cookies usually store an identifier that allows the user to move from one web page to another without having to enter the identification information (username, password, etc.) each time. Such cookies are widely used by commercial websites, for example, to keep track of the products added by a user to the shopping cart. When the user visits a certain page of a product catalog and selects certain products, the cookie retains the selected products and adds them to the shopping cart, which will contain all the selected products when the user wants to leave the page. Session-specific cookies are stored in the user's computer memory only during an Internet browsing session and are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. They can also become inaccessible if the session has been inactive for a certain period of time (usually 20 minutes).

• Permanent, persistent or stored cookies

Persistent cookies are stored on the user's computer and are not deleted when the browsing session is closed. These cookies can retain the user's preferences for a certain website, so that they can be used in other Internet browsing sessions. In addition to authentication information, persistent cookies can also retain details about the language and theme selected on a certain website, preferences regarding a website's menu, favorite pages within a website, etc. When the user accesses a site for the first time, it is presented in default mode. Later, the user selects a series of preferences, which are then retained by cookies and used when the user accesses the site again. For example, a website offers its content in several languages. On the first visit, the user selects the English language, and the site retains this preference in a cookie. When the user visits the respective site again, the content will be automatically displayed in English. Persistent cookies can be used to identify individual users and, thus, to analyze the online behavior of users. They can provide information about the number of visitors to a website, the time (on average) spent on a certain page, and, in general, the performance of a website. These cookies are configured to track user activities for a long period of time, in some cases even years.

• Cookie-uri flash

If the user has Adobe Flash installed on the computer, small files can be stored in the memory of that computer by websites that contain Flash elements (such as video clips). These files are known as "local shared objects" or "flash cookies" and can be used for the same purposes as regular cookies. When regular cookies are deleted through the functions of a browser, flash cookies are not affected. Thus, a website that uses flash cookies can recognize a user on the occasion of a new visit, if the data specific to the deleted cookies have also been retained in a flash cookie. Since flash cookies are not stored on the user's computer in the same way as regular cookies, they are more difficult to identify and delete. Banks and financial sites use such cookies precisely for this reason. Because they are difficult to identify, these cookies are stored on users' computers to allow user authentication and prevent fraud, because possible criminals may have the username and password for authentication, but do not have access to the user's computer. Thus, cookies act as a second level of authentication, in addition to the username and password.

• Cookie-uri first party vs cookie-uri third party

Each cookie has an "owner" – the website/Internet domain that places the respective cookie. First party cookies are placed by the Internet domain/website accessed by the user (whose address appears in the address bar of the browser). A third party cookie is placed by a different Internet domain/website than the one accessed by the user; this means that the accessed website also contains information from a third-party website - for example, an advertising banner that appears on the accessed website. The Article 29 Working Group (made up of the national data protection authorities of the member states of the European Union) considers that, from a legal point of view, and considering European legislation, the notion of "third party cookie" refers to a cookie placed by to an operator distinct from the one that operates the website visited by the user. Third party cookies are not strictly necessary for the user accessing a website, as they are usually associated with a service distinct from the one that was explicitly "requested" by the user (by accessing the website) .
