The site https://smsh.ro/ uses cookies. The information presented below aims to inform the user of more details about the placement, use and management of "cookies" used by the site https://smsh.ro/. There are also some useful links related to this topic. If you need more information, and it is not found below, you can contact us at: contact@smsh.ro.
Please read the following information carefully:
This website uses both first-party and third-party cookies to provide visitors with a much better browsing experience and services adapted to each user's specific needs and interests. In what we call "Web 2.0", cookies play an important role in facilitating access to and delivery of multiple services that users enjoy on the internet, such as:
Personalizing certain settings, such as: the language in which a site is viewed, the currency in which prices or rates are expressed, or keeping options for various products (sizes, other details, etc.) in the shopping cart (and remembering these choices) – thus generating the flexibility of the "shopping cart" (accessing old preferences by clicking the "forward" and "back" buttons).
Providing website owners with valuable feedback on how their sites are used by visitors, allowing them to make them even more efficient and accessible.
Allowing multimedia or other types of applications from other sites to be embedded into a specific website to create a more valuable, useful, and enjoyable browsing experience.
What is a "Cookie"
An "Internet Cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie", "HTTP cookie", or simply "cookie") is a small file consisting 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 via a request sent by a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely "passive" (it does not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware, and cannot access information on the user's hard drive).
A cookie consists of two parts: its name and its content or value. Furthermore, the lifespan of a cookie is limited; technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that web server.
Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users. There are two major categories of cookies:
Session Cookies – these are temporarily stored in the browser's cookie folder so the browser can remember them until the user leaves the respective website or closes the browser window (e.g., when logging in/out of a webmail account or social media networks).
Persistent Cookies – these are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device (and generally depend on the pre-established lifespan of the cookie). Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one the user is currently visiting – known as "third-party cookies" – which can be used anonymously to remember a user's interests so that highly relevant advertising can be delivered.
What are the Advantages of Cookies
A cookie contains information that links a web browser (the user) to a specific web server (the website). If a browser accesses that web server again, it can read the already-stored information and react accordingly. Cookies ensure a pleasant browsing experience for users and support the efforts of many websites to offer convenient services: e.g., online privacy preferences, website language options, shopping carts, or relevant advertising.
What is the lifespan of a cookie?
Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifespan of a cookie 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 once the user has left the website and some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website ("persistent cookies"). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time through the browser settings.
What are third-party cookies?
Certain sections of content on some websites may be provided by third parties/providers (e.g. a news box, a video or an advertisement). These third parties may also place cookies through the website and they are called "third party cookies" because they are not placed by the website owner. Third-party providers must also comply with applicable law and the privacy policies of the website owner.
How Cookies are Used by This Site
A visit to this site may place cookies for the purposes of:
Visitor analysis cookies
Geo-targeting cookies
Registration cookies
Advertising cookies
These cookies may come from the following third parties: facebook.com, google.com, and others.
Visitor Analysis Cookies
This type of cookie remembers the user's preferences on this site so that there is no need to configure them during every visit. Examples include: video player volume settings or the video streaming speed compatible with the browser.
Visitor Analysis Cookies
Every time a user visits this site, the analytics software provided by a third party generates a user analysis cookie. This cookie tells us if you have visited this site before. The browser will tell us if you have this cookie, and if not, we will generate one. This allows us to monitor the unique users who visit us and how often they do so. As long as you are not registered on this site, this cookie cannot be used to identify individuals, they are used only for statistical purposes. If you are registered, we may also know the details you have provided to us, such as your email address and username - these being subject to confidentiality and the provisions of the Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy as well as the provisions of the legislation in force regarding the protection of personal data.
Geo-targeting Cookies
These cookies are used by software that determines which country you come from. It is completely anonymous and is used only to target content – even when you are on our Romanian or another language version page, you receive the same advertisement.
Registration Cookies
When you register on this site, we generate a cookie that tells us whether you are registered or not. Our servers use these cookies to show us the account you are registered with and whether you have permission for a particular service.
Other third-party cookies
On some pages, third parties may set their own anonymous cookies, in order to track the success of an application, or to customize an application. Due to the way it is used, this site cannot access these cookies, just as third parties cannot access the cookies held by this site. For example, when you share an article using the social media button on this site, that social network will record your activity.
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 web server will recognize the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted. The cookie stores important information that improves the Internet browsing experience (e.g.: language settings in which a site is accessed; keeping a user logged in to a webmail account; online banking security; keeping products in the shopping cart).
Why are cookies important for the Internet?
Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some sites impossible to use. Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising – it only means that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, as evidenced 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 – categories of news, weather, sports, maps, public and government services, entertainment sites and travel services.
Offers tailored to user interests – remembering passwords, language preferences (e.g. displaying search results in Romanian).
Retaining child protection filters regarding internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).
Advertisement frequency limitation – limiting the number of times an ad is displayed to a specific user on a site.
Providing more relevant advertising to the user.
Measurement, optimization and analytics features – such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed and how a user arrives at a website (e.g. through search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.). Websites perform these analyses of their usage to improve the sites for the benefit of users.
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 or self-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate themselves again. Since 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 specific 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 consistently mark cookies for deletion as part of their anti-virus/anti-spyware removal/scanning procedures. Generally, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.
Tips for safe and responsible browsing based on cookies
Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest sites use cookies, they are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user to access the most widespread and used sites including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others. Here are some tips that can ensure that you browse without worries but with the help of cookies:
Sfaturi pentru o navigare sigură și responsabilă, bazata pe cookies
Datorită flexibilității lor și a faptului că majoritatea dintre cele mai vizitate site-uri și cele mai mari folosesc cookieuri, acestea sunt aproape inevitabile. Dezactivarea cookie-urilor nu va permite accesul utilizatorului pe site-urile cele mai răspândite și utilizate printre care Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo și altele. Iată câteva sfaturi care vă pot asigura că navigați fără griji însă cu ajutorul cookie-urilor:
Customize your browser settings regarding cookies to reflect a comfortable level of security for you regarding the use of cookies.
If you do not mind cookies and are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration dates for storing browsing history and personal access data.
If you share access to the computer, you can consider setting your browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close the browser. This is an option to access the sites that place cookies and delete any visit information when you close the browsing session.
Install and update your antispyware applications regularly.
Many spyware detection and prevention applications include detection of attacks on websites. This prevents 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 weaknesses in older browser versions. Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and biggest 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 turn off cookies?
Disabling and refusing to accept cookies can make certain websites 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 your browser to no longer accept these cookies or you can set your 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 your cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the "options" or "preferences" menu of your browser. To understand these settings, the following links may be useful, otherwise you can use the "help" option of your browser for more details.
