1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy shall apply to all the users of the website citr.ro, sales.citr.ro, citr-group.ro. The information presented below is intended to inform the users of this website about the placement, use and administration of cookies by the administrators of these domains, in relation to the users’ navigation on this website.

2. What are cookies?

We use the term “cookies” with reference to cookie modules and similar technologies whereby information can be collected automatically.

An „Internet Cookie” (also known as „browser cookie” or „HTTP cookie” or simply „cookie”) is a small text file, consisting of letters and numbers, which is stored on the computer, mobile terminal or other equipment that a user employs to access the internet. 

Cookies are installed following a request issued by a webserver to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). Once installed, cookies have a definite duration and remain “passive”, in the sense that they do not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and do not access the information on the hard drive of the user’s equipment where they were installed.

A cookie consists of two parts:
– the cookie name;
– the cookie content or value.

Technically, only the webserver sending the cookie may access it again when a user returns to the website linked to that webserver.

3. What are the purposes for using cookies on this website?

Cookies are used to provide the users of this website with a better browsing experience and services adapted to the needs and interests of each user, more specifically in order to:

  • improve the use of this website, including by identifying any errors occurring during the users’ visit/use of this website;
  • provide anonymous statistics about the use of this website to the administrator socialsmarts.ro, as owner of this website;
  • anticipate potential goods to be provided to the users through this website, depending on the accessed services/products.

Based on the feedback transmitted via cookies in relation to the use of this website, socialsmarts.ro, as the administrator, may take measures in order to make this website more efficient and more accessible for the users.

  • facilitation of access to the users’ accounts.

4. What is the life duration of cookies?

The life duration of cookies may vary considerably, depending on the purpose for which they are placed. The following categories of cookies also determine their life duration:

  • Session cookies – A “session cookie” is a cookie which is automatically erased when the user closes the browser;
  • Persistent or permanent cookies – A “persistent or permanent cookie” is one that remains stored on the user’s terminal, until it reaches an expiry period (which can be several minutes, days or years) or until it is erased by the user at any time, from the browser settings.

5. What are third-party cookies?

Certain content sections on the website may be provided by third parties, and not by the administrator citr.ro; these cookies are called third-party cookies..
