This Cookies Policy applies to all users of the website http://factual.silkmart.ro.

The information presented below aims to inform users of this website about the placement, use, and management of cookies during their navigation on this website.

1. What are cookies?

An "Internet Cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie" or simply "cookie") is a small file consisting of letters and numbers, which is stored on the computer, mobile device, or other equipment of a user through which the internet is accessed.

Cookies are installed through a request sent by a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome).

Once installed, cookies have a determined lifespan, remaining "passive," meaning they do not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and will not access information on the user’s hard drive on which they were installed.

A cookie consists of two parts: the cookie name and the cookie content/value.

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.

2. For what purposes are cookies used on this website:

Cookies are used to provide users of this website with a better browsing experience and services tailored to the needs and interests of each user, as follows:

• Improving the use of this website, including by identifying any errors that occur during users’ visits/interactions;
• Providing anonymous statistics regarding how this website is used to the website owner;
• Anticipating potential goods or services that may be made available to users in the future through this website, depending on the services/products accessed.
•  

Based on the feedback transmitted via cookies regarding how this website is used, measures may be adopted to make this website more efficient and accessible to users.

3. What is the lifespan of cookies?

• Session cookies – a cookie that is automatically deleted when the user closes their browser.
