The site https://mihailiuc.co uses cookies.

The information below is intended to inform users about placing, using and managing the cookies used by the site https://mihailiuc.co.

If you need additional information that is not provided below, you can contact us at info@mihailiuc.co.

Please read the following information carefully:

This website may use both first-party and third-party cookies to provide visitors with a better browsing experience and services tailored to their needs and interests.

Because we respect your right to privacy, you can choose to block certain types of cookies from this site.

Cookies play an important role in facilitating access to and delivery of many of the services users enjoy on the internet, such as:

Personalizing certain settings such as site language, currency display, saving options for various products (sizes, other details, etc.) in the shopping cart (and remembering these choices), and saving preferences for future reuse.
Providing site owners with valuable feedback on how their sites are used so they can make them more efficient and easier to access.
Allowing multimedia or other applications from other sites to be included in a site to create a more useful and enjoyable browsing experience.
Improving the efficiency of online advertising.

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 device or other equipment used to access the Internet.

The cookie is installed at the request of a web server to a browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox) and is completely "passive" (it does not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user's hard drive).

A cookie consists of two parts: the name and the content or value of the cookie. Additionally, the cookie's lifetime is determined; technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the associated website.

Cookies themselves do not request personal data to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.

There are two main categories of cookies:

Session cookies - these are stored temporarily in the browser's cookie folder so the browser remembers them until the user closes the browser window or logs out of the site.
Persistent cookies - these are stored on a computer or device's hard drive (generally depending on the cookie's preset lifetime). Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one the user is visiting at the time — known as 'third-party cookies' — which can be used anonymously to remember a user's preferences.

What are the advantages of cookies?

A cookie contains information that links a web browser (the user) with a specific web server (the website). If a browser accesses that web server again, it can read the information already stored and respond accordingly. Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support the efforts of many websites to offer convenient services to users: e.g., online privacy preferences, site language options, shopping carts or relevant advertising.

What is the lifetime of a cookie?

Cookies are managed by web servers. A cookie's lifetime 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 no longer retained after the user leaves the website; other cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website (persistent cookies). Cookies can also be deleted by a user at any time via browser settings.

What are third-party cookies?

Certain sections of content on some sites may be provided by third parties/providers (e.g., a video, an advertisement, a chat application, etc.). These third parties may also place cookies through the site; these are called "third-party cookies" because they are not placed by the site owner. Third-party providers must also comply with applicable law and the site owner's privacy policies.

How this site uses cookies

Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support our efforts to offer convenient services through features such as online privacy preferences, the shopping cart or relevant advertising. They are also used to prepare anonymous aggregated statistics that help us understand how users benefit from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content while excluding personal identification of the user.

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

Essential cookies
Performance cookies
Social media and advertising cookies

Some cookies, such as performance or social media and advertising cookies, may come from third parties.

Essential cookies

These cookies allow saving preferences regarding other types of cookies used, as well as accessing the basic functionalities of this site.

They retain the user's preferences on this site so they do not need to be set on every visit.

Registration cookies are generated when a user registers on this site to inform us later whether they are logged in or not. Our servers use these cookies to display your account and to provide an easier interaction with the site.

Other cookies we place to enable optimal site use include shopping cart and Favorites cookies (to save information about products you added to the cart or to Favorites), location cookies (used to determine your location by IP to prefill certain fields required during registration or order placement), session cookies generated on access and automatically deleted when the browser is closed (necessary for the functioning of the HTTP protocol, for completing certain forms, interacting with site elements, etc.), cookies that recognize the type of device used — desktop or mobile, and cookies for chat applications that allow real-time conversations with customer service.

Performance cookies

These include both cookies from traffic analysis services and cookies placed by certain third-party services that provide complementary site functionality.

Traffic analysis cookies allow aggregated measurement of site traffic, identification of traffic sources, provide information about the most or least visited pages, and how users interact with the site. The information collected is aggregated and anonymous. These cookies may come from third parties such as web analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics).

Social media and advertising cookies

These may be placed through the site by the social media or advertising services we use.

These cookies can be used by those services to build a profile of visitors and show you relevant advertising on other sites you visit.

They may come from third parties such as advertising services (e.g., AdSense, AdWords), social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, X), etc.

Because of the way they are used, this site cannot access these third-party cookies, just as third parties cannot access the cookies belonging to this site. For example, when you share an article using the social buttons on this site, that social network will record your activity.

What information is stored and accessed through cookies?

Cookies store information in a small text file that allows a website to recognize a browser. The web server will recognize the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted. The cookie stores information that enhances the browsing experience (e.g., keeping a user logged into their account; keeping products in the shopping cart; saving products in the Favorites list).

Why are cookies important for the Internet?

Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping create a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to individual preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may hinder the use of a site.

Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean you will stop receiving online advertising — only that such advertising will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests inferred from your browsing behavior.

Examples of important cookie uses (which do not require user authentication via an account):

Content and services tailored to user preferences — news categories, weather, sports, maps, public services, entertainment sites and travel services.
Offers adapted to user interests — remembering passwords, language preferences (e.g., displaying search results in Romanian).
Remembering parental filters for online content (family mode options, safe search features).
Limiting ad frequency — reducing the number of times an ad is shown to a particular user on a site.
Providing more relevant advertising to the user.
Measurement, optimization and analytics features — such as confirming traffic levels on a website, which content is viewed and how a user reaches a website (e.g., via search engines, direct visits, other sites). Websites perform these analyses to improve the site for users' benefit.

Security and privacy issues

Cookies use plain-text formats. They are not executable code and cannot self-run. Therefore, they cannot be duplicated or replicated on other networks to run again. Cookies can, however, be misused. Because they store information about users' preferences and browsing history across one or multiple sites, cookies can be used as a form of spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this and continually flag cookies for deletion during scanning procedures.

In general, browsers include privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity periods and automatic deletion after a user has visited a site. Other security aspects related to cookies

Because protecting identity is valuable and a right of every internet user, it is useful to know potential issues cookies can create. Because they continuously transmit information between browser and website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intercepts data transmission, cookie information could be captured. Although rare, this can happen if the browser connects to a server over an unencrypted network (e.g., an unsecured WiFi).

Other cookie-based attacks involve misconfigured cookie settings on servers. If a website does not require the browser to use encrypted channels only, attackers can exploit this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information over unsecured channels. Attackers may then use this information to gain unauthorized access to certain sites. It is important to choose appropriate measures to protect personal information.

Tips for safe, responsible browsing using cookies

Given their flexibility and the fact that most popular sites use cookies, they are almost unavoidable. Disabling cookies will prevent access to widely used sites like YouTube, Gmail, Facebook, Yahoo and others. Here are some tips to help you browse safely while using cookies:

Customize your browser's cookie settings to reflect a level of comfort with cookie security that suits you.
If you are the only person using your computer and do not mind cookies, you can set long expiration times for stored browsing history and login data.
If you share computer access, consider configuring your browser to clear browsing data each time you close it. This allows access to sites that set cookies while removing visit information at session end.
Install anti-spyware applications and keep them up to date.

Many spyware detection and prevention applications detect attacks on sites and prevent the browser from accessing websites that might exploit browser vulnerabilities or download harmful software. Keep your browser updated. Many cookie-based attacks exploit weaknesses in older browser versions.

Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to access the most popular websites. With a clear understanding of how they work and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures to browse the web with confidence.

How can I stop cookies?

You can configure your browser to refuse these cookies, or to accept cookies only from a specific site.

All modern browsers allow you to configure cookie storage preferences. These settings are usually found in the "options" or "preferences" menu of your browser. For more details, use your browser's "help" option.
