2. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, that will be stored on a computer, mobile terminal, or other equipment of a user accessing the Internet. The cookie is installed by the request issued by the user's terminal to a GARDENIUM.RO 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 the content in a relevant way, adapted to the user's preferences. Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support GARDENIUM.RO's efforts to offer more tailored services to users, eg: in terms of online privacy, the relevant shopping cart or advertising. They are also used in the preparation of aggregated anonymous statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content, without allowing the user to be personally identified.
4. What cookies do we use?
We use two types of cookies: per session and fixed. Per session cookies are temporary files that remain in the user's terminal until the end of the session or the application is closed. Fixed cookies remain on the user's terminal for a period determined by the cookie parameters or until they are manually deleted by the user.

6. Do cookies or similar technologies contain personal data?
Cookies or similar technologies do not in themselves require personal information to be used and, in many cases, do not personally identify internet users.

8. Administering cookie placement preferences

9. Why are cookies and / or similar technologies important for the Internet?
Cookies and / or similar technologies are a focal point of the efficient operation of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Declining or disabling cookies may make some sites or parts of sites impossible to use.
Disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising in compliance with the law - but only that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, highlighted by your browsing behavior.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to authenticate through an account):
• Content and services tailored to user preferences - product and service categories.
• Offers adapted to users' interests
• Remembering passwords
• Retention of child protection filters on Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).
• Limit the frequency of ad serving - Limit the number of impressions of an ad for a particular user on a site.
• Providing user-relevant advertising.
• Measuring, optimizing and adapting analysis features - such as confirming a certain level of traffic to a website, what type of content is viewed and how a user gets to a website (eg through search engines, directly, from other website, etc.). Websites carry out these analyzes regarding their use in order to improve their services for the benefit of users.
10. Security and privacy issues
In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of acceptance of cookies, the period of validity and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.
Other security issues related to cookies:
• Customize your browser's cookie settings to reflect a comfortable level of cookie security for you.
• If you are the only person using your computer, you can set long expiration dates for storing your browsing history and personal access data if you wish.
• If you share access to your computer, you can consider setting your browser to clear individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is a way to access sites that leave cookies and delete any visiting information at the end of the browsing session.
