COOKIE POLICY<\/h2>

The security of your data is most important to us, which is why we take every aspect of your data protection seriously.
Website\u00a0www.smilecity.ro\u00a0<\/a>uses cookie policy.<\/p>

As of May 25, 2018, Regulation (EU) 679\/2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95\/46\/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) known as GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) has been implemented. This means that any controller\/entity processing personal data must apply these new requirements and provide in a transparent way information on how the data is processed.<\/p>

Given the need to comply with the GDPR, and the fact that we are committed to taking care of your personal data (which may include name, surname, e-mail address, etc. depending on the purpose of the processing) that is contained in our database, we inform you that it is used only for the purpose of successfully carrying out the processes carried out in our relationship with you<\/p>

To improve your online browsing experience, we use cookies to make it easier for visitors to use the site. The full list of cookies can be found below.<\/p>

WHAT IS A COOKIE?<\/h2>

An \u201eInternet Cookie\u201d (also known as a \u201ebrowser cookie\u201d or \u201eHTTP cookie\u201d or simply \u201ecookie\u201d) is a small file made up of letters and numbers that is stored on a user's computer, mobile device or other equipment from which the Internet is accessed. The cookie is installed by a request from a web server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox) and is completely \u201epassive\u201d (it contains no software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user's hard drive).<\/p>

A cookie consists of two parts: the name and the content or value of the cookie. Furthermore, the lifetime of a cookie is determined; technically, only the server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the site associated with the web server.<\/p>

Cookies play an important role in facilitating the access and delivery of the many services the user enjoys on the Internet, such as:<\/p>

- Customize certain settings such as the language in which a website is displayed, the currency in which certain prices or tariffs are expressed, keeping options for various products (quantity, other details, etc).
- Cookies provide site owners with valuable feedback on how their sites are being used by users so that they can make them more effective and more accessible to users.
- Allow multimedia and other applications from other websites to be embedded on a website to create a more valuable, useful and enjoyable browsing experience.
- Improve the effectiveness of online advertising<\/p>

Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.<\/p>

There are two broad categories of cookies:<\/p>

1. Session cookies<\/strong>\u00a0- they are temporarily stored in the web browser's cookie folder for the web browser to remember them until the user exits the website or closes the browser window (e.g. when logging in\/out of a webmail or social networking account).<\/p>

2.\u00a0Persistent cookies<\/strong>\u00a0- they are stored on a computer or device's hard drive (and generally depend on the cookie's default lifetime). Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one the user is currently visiting - known as \u201ethird party cookies\u201d - which can be used anonymously to remember a user's interests so that advertising can be delivered that is as relevant as possible to users.<\/p>

WHAT IS THE LIFETIME OF A COOKIE?<\/h2>

Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifetime of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are only used for a single session (session cookies) and are not retained once the user has left the website and some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website (\u201epersistent cookies\u201d). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time through browser settings.<\/p>

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF COOKIES?<\/h2>

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 information already stored and react accordingly. In general, the purpose of cookies is to ensure fast and easy interaction between users and websites. Cookies are also used to make it easier for users to resume their activities the next time they visit a previously visited website. Essentially, cookies tell the server which pages to display to the user, without the user having to remember which pages they have navigated to or navigate the whole site from the beginning.<\/p>

WHAT ARE THIRD-PARTY COOKIES?<\/strong><\/h2>

Certain sections of content on some websites may be provided through 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 \u201cthird party cookies\u201d because they are not placed by the owner of that website. Third party providers must also comply with applicable law and the privacy policies of the website owner.<\/p>

WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?<\/h3>

1. For visitor analysis
2. For publicity
3. To better understand the interests of our customers and site visitors
4. For geotargeting
5. For performance<\/p>

HOW ARE COOKIES USED ON THIS SITE?<\/h3>

Session cookie<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>

Session cookies are stored on the user's device during the browsing session. They store an anonymous session identifier, allowing the user to visit a website without having to enter identifying information (username, password, etc) on each page.<\/p>

Such cookies are commonly used in an online store and beyond. For example, when the user visits a certain page and selects certain products, the cookie remembers the selected products and adds them to the shopping cart, which will contain all the selected products when the user wants to leave the page.<\/p>

Session cookies are stored in the device's memory only during a web browsing session and are deleted when the browser is closed. They may also become inaccessible if the session has been inactive for a certain period of time.<\/p>

Performance cookies remember the user's preferences on this site, so you don't need to set them each time you visit the site. For example, volume settings for your video player or the video streaming speed your browser supports.<\/p>

Each time a user visits this site analytics software provided by a third party generates a user analytics cookie. This cookie tells us if you have visited this site before. Your browser will tell us if you have this cookie, and if not, we will generate one. It allows us to track unique users who visit us and how often. This cookie cannot be used to identify individuals, they are used for statistical purposes only.<\/p>

Geotargeting cookies are used by software that determines which country you are from. It is completely anonymous and is only used to target the content - even when you are on our page in English or another language you get the same advertisement.<\/p>

Advertising cookies allow us to track whether or not you have viewed an online advertisement, the type of advertisement and how long it has been since you saw the advertisement. We also use these cookies to target online advertising. We may also use cookies belonging to a third party for better targeting of advertising, for example, to show advertisements about vacations if the user has recently visited an article on the site about vacations. These cookies are anonymous, they store information about the content viewed, not about the users. We also set anonymous cookies through other sites on which we advertise. By receiving them, so we can use them to recognize you as a visitor to that site if you later visit our site, we can deliver advertising to you based on that information.<\/p>

WHAT INFORMATION IS STORED AND ACCESSED THROUGH COOKIES?<\/h2>

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 enhances the web browsing experience (e.g. user session id, referring page, current time, etc).<\/p>

WHY ARE COOKIES IMPORTANT FOR THE INTERNET?<\/h2>

Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to create a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to each user's preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some sites unusable. Rejecting or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising - it just means that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests as evidenced by your browsing behavior.<\/p>

Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to authenticate via an account):<\/p>

- Content and services tailored to user preferences.
- Offers tailored to users' interests - language preferences (e.g. display search results in English).
- Provide more relevant advertising to the user.
- Measurement, optimization and analytics features - such as confirming a certain level of traffic to a website, what type of content is being viewed and how a user gets to a website (e.g. through search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.) Websites run these analytics on their usage to improve their websites for the benefit of their users.<\/p>

SECURITY AND PRIVACY ISSUES?<\/h2>

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 self-run. Consequently, they cannot be duplicated or replicated on other networks to run or replicate themselves again. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses. Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and routinely mark cookies for deletion as part of their anti-virus\/anti-spyware deletion\/scanning procedures.<\/p>

In general, browsers have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.<\/p>

Keeping personal data<\/p>

The personal data stored will be used for the purpose of carrying out contracts and processing your requests. After the completion of the performance of the contract or your request, the data will be saved taking into account the retention periods in accordance with tax and commercial legislation and where applicable for a period necessary to protect the rights of the Operator.<\/p>

HOW CAN I STOP COOKIES?<\/h2>

Disabling and refusing to receive cookies may make certain websites impracticable or difficult to visit and use. Also, refusing to accept cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive\/see online advertising.<\/p>

You can set your browser to stop accepting these cookies, or you can set your browser to accept cookies from a specific website.<\/p>

Some web browsers have a \u201eDo Not Track\u201d feature that allows users to not be tracked while browsing. Blocking cookies or using Do Not Track may block certain functionality on our websites.<\/p>

All modern browsers offer the possibility to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the \u201eoptions\u201d or \u201epreferences\u201d menu of your browser.<\/p>
