By accessing or continuing to use our services (on any device), you agree to the use of cookies and other similar technologies for the purposes specified in this policy.

What is a cookie?

•  A cookie is a collection of data in an industry standard that a web page transfers to your computer, temporarily, to allow the content to be adapted to the user. To this end, cookies collect information about your online behavior.      

• A cookie is a small file that contains a text consisting of a string of letters and numbers (information), often encoded, that uniquely identifies a computer, mobile terminal or other equipment from which the user accesses the internet, but it may also contain other information. A cookie consists of two parts: the name and content or value of the cookie. The lifespan of a cookie is determined.      

• A cookie is a file that is placed/downloaded on the device you use when you access a website, by the request issued by the web server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome), which allows the use of SPLENDID DEVELOPMENT functions recording the navigation of the website, so that when you access the website again, it can present adapted options based on the information stored regarding your last visit.      

• A cookie is completely “passive” (does not contain software, viruses – cookies use plain text formats, they are not made up of pieces of code so they cannot be executed and cannot auto-run; they cannot be duplicated or replicate on other networks to run or replicate again – or spyware and they cannot access information from the user’s hard drive), they only allow the collection of information in regards to user behavior (basically, which web pages they visit and when).      

• In other words, cookies can be seen as an identification card of the Internet user, which notifies the website every time the user returns to that website.      

Why are cookies important for the Internet?

Cookies are the focal point of the efficient operation of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience and adapted to the preferences and interests of each user. Declining or disabling cookies can make some websites impossible to use. Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising , 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 log into an account):

• Content and services adapt to the user’s preferences      
• Remembering passwords, language preferences (e.g. displaying search results in Romanian)      
• Remembering child protection filters on Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions)      
• Limiting the frequency of ad serving – Limiting the number of impressions of an ad for a specific user on a website      
• Providing more relevant advertising for the user      
• Measurement, optimization and analytics features – such as confirming a certain level of traffic to a website, what type of content is viewed and how a user reaches a website (e.g. through search engines, directly from other websites etc.). Websites carry out these analyzes of their use to improve themselves for the benefit of users.       

The purpose of cookies

Cookies can provide faster and easier interaction between users and websites.

In other cases, cookies may be used to store information about the activities performed by the user on a particular web page, so that they can easily resume those activities on a subsequent access to the website. Cookies tell the server which pages to show the user so that they do not have to remember this or navigate the entire website from the start. Thus, cookies can be assimilated to “bookmarks” that tell the user exactly where he left off on the website.

What types of cookies do we use?

We use the following types of cookies: persistent and session, our own and installed by third parties.

Persistent cookies help us recognize you as an existing user, which facilitates your return to SPLENDID DEVELOPMENT or the interaction with our services. Session cookies are only active during a session (usually a regular visit to a website or a browser session).

When are cookies placed?

All browsers that access this website will receive cookies from us. We also place cookies in your browser when you visit websites that do not use cookies and that host our plugins (for example, the “Share” button on Facebook) or tags.

What is the lifespan of a cookie?

The lifespan of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. One cookie per session will expire at the end of the session, and one permanent cookie will not expire for a certain period. The lifespan of a cookie is not imposed on any user. They can be locked or deleted at any time via browser settings.

They contain personal data cookies/ what kind of information is stored and accessed through cookies?

The cookies themselves do not request and do not hold personal data. They cannot personally identify an internet user. Personal data can be collected by using cookies only to facilitate certain functions for the user, improving the Internet browsing experience (for example: the settings of the language in which you want to access a website).

For details on the processing of your personal data, please refer to the Privacy policy available at the following link: https://splendidromania.ro/privacy-policy If a cookie processes personal data, we ensure that the processing will be carried out in accordance with the legislation in force and Regulation (EU) no. 2016/679 (GDPR).   

What are third-party cookies? (“Third party cookies”)

Because your browser connects to these third-party web servers to retrieve content, those third‑parties may create or read their own cookies on your device and collect information about your online activities on various websites or online services. Third parties/third party providers must also comply with the applicable law and the privacy policies of the website owner.

Cookie control

In general, an application used to access web pages allows you to save cookies on the terminal by default. These settings can be changed so that the automatic administration of cookies is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed every time cookies are sent to his terminal. Detailed information about the possibilities and ways of managing cookies can be found in the settings area of ​​the application (web browser). Limiting the use of cookies may affect certain features of the website. This may also prevent you from saving your custom settings, such as account login information.

Tips for safe and responsible browsing based on cookies

Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and popular websites use cookies, they are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow user access to the most common and used websites including YouTube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.

Here are some tips that can ensure you navigate without worries but with the help of cookies:

• Customize your browser settings for cookies to reflect a comfortable level of security for you to use cookies.      
• If you do not mind cookies and you are the only person using the device, you can set long expiration dates for storing your browsing history and personal access data.      
• If you share access to your device, you can consider setting your browser to clear individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is a way to access the websites that place cookies and to delete any visit information at the end of the browsing session.      
• Install and constantly update your anti-spyware applications.      

Many of the spyware detection and prevention applications include detecting attacks on websites. This prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download malicious software.

Make sure your browser is always up to date with the latest versions available.

Many of the cookie-based attacks are made by exploiting the weaknesses of older versions of browsers.

Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and most popular websites 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 surf the internet with confidence.

Disabling and refusing to receive cookies may make certain websites impractical or difficult to visit and use.

It is possible to set in the browser so that these cookies are no longer accepted or you can set the browser to accept cookies from a specific website. However, for example, if you are not registered to use cookies, you will not be able to leave comments.

All modern browsers offer the option to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the “options” or “preferences” menu of your browser.
