Cookie Policy

What are cookies?

A Cookie (also known as a "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie") is a small text file, consisting of letters, numbers and other symbols, which will be stored on the computer or mobile terminal or other equipment used to access the website or applications https://girlsowncosmetics.ro/ .

The cookie is installed by the request issued by a webserver to an internet browser (web browser - e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, etc.) for the purpose of storing data regarding statistics, preferences or other information provided by the user.

A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and the content of the cookie. Furthermore, the duration of a cookie's existence is determined; technically, only the webserver that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that webserver.

Cookies themselves do not require personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.

Types of cookies

• Session cookies – these are temporarily stored in the web browser's cookie folder so that it remembers them until the user leaves the respective website or closes the browser window (e.g. when authenticating/de-authenticating from an account).


• Persistent Cookies – These are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device (and generally depend on the cookie’s default lifespan). 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 advertising can be delivered to users in a more relevant way.

Advantages

A cookie contains information that connects 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. Thus, a cookie can ensure an easy and comfortable browsing experience.

Lifespan

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.

Cookies placed by third parties

Certain sections of content on some websites may be provided by third parties/providers (e.g. news box, video or 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.
