Please read the following information carefully:

3. Cookies provide website owners with valuable feedback on how their sites are used by users, so they can make them even more efficient and accessible to users.

What is a "cookie"?
An "Internet Cookie" (term also known as "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie" or simply "cookie") is a small file, made up of letters and numbers, which will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal or other equipment of a user from which the Internet is accessed.
The cookie is installed through a request issued by a web-server to a browser (ex: Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely "passive" (does not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user's hard drive). A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and its content or the value of the cookie. Moreover, the duration of existence of a cookie is determined; technically, only the webserver that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that webserver. Cookies themselves do not request personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.
What type of information is stored and accessed through cookies?
Cookies store information in a small text file that allows a website to recognize a browser. The webserver will recognize the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted. The cookie stores important information that improves the Internet browsing experience (ex: language settings in which a site is desired to be accessed; keeping a user logged into a webmail account; online banking security; keeping products in the shopping cart).
Security and privacy issues
Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code so they cannot be executed nor can they auto-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate again. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses. Cookies can however be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about users' preferences and browsing history, both on a certain site and on several other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and constantly mark cookies to be deleted in anti-virus/anti-spyware deletion/scanning procedures. In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a certain site.
Other security aspects related to cookies
Because identity protection is very valuable and represents the right of every internet user, it is advisable to know what potential problems cookies can create. Because through them information is constantly transmitted in both directions between browser and website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes in the data transmission path, the information contained in cookies can be intercepted. Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (ex: an unsecured WiFi network). Other cookie-based attacks involve incorrect cookie settings on servers. If a website does not request the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. Attackers then use the information to gain unauthorized access to certain sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method of protecting personal information.
Tips for safe and responsible navigation, based on cookies.
Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited sites and the largest ones use cookies, they are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow user access to the most widespread and used sites including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.
Here are some tips that can ensure you browse without worries but with the help of cookies:
1. Customize your browser settings regarding cookies to reflect a comfortable level of cookie usage security for you.
2. If cookies don't bother you and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration terms for storing browsing history and personal access data.
3. If you share computer access, you can consider setting the browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close the browser. This is an option to access sites that place cookies and delete any visit information when closing the browsing session.
4. Install and constantly update antispyware applications.
Many spyware detection and prevention applications include detection of attacks on sites. Thus, they prevent the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software. Make sure you always have your browser updated. Many cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting weak points in old browser versions.
Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and largest sites on the Internet – local or international. With a clear understanding of how they operate and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can browse the internet with confidence.
How can I stop cookies?
Users can configure their browser to reject cookie files. Disabling and refusing to receive cookies can make certain sites impractical or difficult to visit and use. Also, refusing to accept cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive/see online advertising. It is possible to set from the browser so that these cookies are no longer accepted or you can set the browser to accept cookies from a specific site. But, for example, if you are not registered using cookies, you will not be able to leave comments. All modern browsers offer the possibility to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in "options" or in the "preferences" menu of your browser.
To understand these settings you can use the "help" option of the browser to find out more details (for example, initiate a search for the following terms, depending on the browser):
• Internet Explorer: http://windows.microsoft.com/ro-ro/internet-explorer/delete-managecookies#ie=ie-11
• Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/ro/kb/activarea-si-dezactivarea-cookie-urilor
