Cookie policy

1. Cookie Usage Policy
This policy relates to cookies and web pages operated by S.C. DESIGNER GALLERY SRL, identified at the Bucharest Trade Register under no. J40/2534/2011, CIF RO28384491, hereinafter referred to as the Operator.

2. What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, which will be stored on a user's computer, mobile terminal 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, Chrome) and is completely "passive" (it does not contain any software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user's hard drive).

3. What are Cookies used for?
These files make it possible to recognize the user's terminal and present content in a relevant way, tailored to the user's preferences. Cookies ensure users a pleasant browsing experience and support the Operator's efforts to provide convenient services to users: for example: online privacy preferences, shopping cart or relevant advertising. They are also used in the preparation of anonymous aggregated statistics, which help us to understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content, excluding the personal identification of the user.

4. What Cookies do we use?
We use two types of Cookies: per session and fixed. Per-session cookies are temporary files that remain in the user's terminal until the session ends or the application (web browser) is closed. Fixed cookies remain on the user's terminal for a period of time defined by the Cookie settings or until they are manually deleted by the user.

5. How are cookies used by this website?
A visit to this site may place the following types of cookies:

• Site performance cookies;
• Visitor analysis cookies;
• Registration cookies;
• Advertising cookies;
• Advertisers' cookies.

6. Do cookies contain personal data?

Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users. Personal data collected through the use of Cookies may only be collected to facilitate certain functionality for the user. Such data is encrypted in a way that makes it impossible for unauthorized persons to access it.

7. Deleting Cookies

In general, an application used to access web pages allows cookies to be saved on the terminal by default. These settings can be changed in such a way that the automatic management of Cookies is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed each 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 functionality of the website.

8. Why are cookies important for the Internet?

Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some websites 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.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to log in via an account):

• Content and services tailored to user preferences - categories of products and services;
• Offers tailored to user interests - password retention;
• Retention of child protection filters on Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions);
• Limiting the frequency of advertisements - limiting the number of times an advertisement is displayed for a given user on a site;
• Providing 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 users.
