COOKIE POLICY
The website www.medicalexpress.ro uses cookies to offer its visitors a better browsing experience and services tailored to the interests of each visitor. Below we present the necessary information to inform you of the details related to the placement, use and management of cookies used by the website www.medicalexpress.ro.
Applicability of this Policy. This Policy applies to the website www.medicalexpress.ro
By using this site, you agree to our use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy.
You can choose to click the "Accept" button in the cookie bar to use only essential cookies, necessary for browsing our site and Functional cookies for when you use live chat (these are the only categories enabled by default). Alternatively, you can customize the options in "Settings" by manually enabling the desired cookie categories by sliding the corresponding button.
Except for essential and functional cookies, we need your consent to use other types of cookies.
If you do not enable certain cookies, this may affect your experience on our site and other partner sites. We reserve the right to change the Cookie Policy, and any changes will be posted here and will take effect immediately. Your continued use of our site after changes signify your agreement to them.
What are cookies? Cookies are small files, made up of letters and numbers, that will be stored on a user's computer, mobile terminal or other equipment from which the internet is accessed.
What are cookies? Cookies are small files, made up of letters and numbers, that will be stored on a user's computer, mobile terminal or other equipment from which the internet is accessed.
Cookies are installed through a request issued by a web server, a browser (e.g. Microsoft Edge, Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, etc.).
Cookies are completely “passive” (they do not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user's hard drive).
A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and the content or value of the cookie. The duration of a cookie's existence is determined; 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.
Cookies themselves do not require personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.
There are two broad categories of cookies:
1. session cookies: they 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;
2. persistent cookies: they are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device and are activated again when you visit the site that created that specific cookie. Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one the user is currently visiting. These are known as “third party cookies”. They remember a user’s interests in order to deliver advertising that is more relevant to them.
What is the lifespan of a cookie? The lifespan of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are intended for a single use (such as session cookies), so they are not retained once the user leaves the site. Other cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to the site (persistent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time using the browser settings.
What are third-party cookies? Some content sections of some sites may be provided through third-party cookies, such as advertising. Such cookies may be placed on the site and are called third-party cookies because they are not placed by the site owner. Such third parties are in turn required to comply with applicable legal regulations and the privacy policies of the site owner.
Why are cookies important for the Internet? Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some sites impossible to use. Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising – it only 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 authenticate through an account):
1. Content and services tailored to user preferences – product and service categories;
2. Offers tailored to users' interests – password retention;
3. Retention of child protection filters regarding Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions);
4. Ad frequency capping – limiting the number of times an ad is displayed to a specific user on a site;
5. Providing more relevant advertising to the user;
6. Measurement, optimization and Analytics features – such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed and how a user reaches a website (example: through search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.). Websites conduct these analyses of their usage in order to improve the sites for the benefit of users.
