The https://supratherm.ro/ website uses cookies.
In this section, we will provide you with more information about what cookies are, how we use them, and how you can manage them on both our website and other websites for a more enjoyable online experience.
Cookies: what they are and how they work
In the following lines, we will provide information aimed at informing the user about the placement, use, and management of "cookies" used by the www.supratherm.ro website.
Please read the following information carefully:
This website uses both its own cookies and third-party cookies to provide visitors with a much better browsing experience and services tailored to the needs and interests of each user.
The "modern web" or "web 2.0" uses cookies that play an important role in facilitating access and delivery of multiple services that the user enjoys on the Internet, such as:
Customization of certain settings, such as: the language in which the website is viewed, date and time, retention of options/settings (including remembering them), and retention of older preferences by accessing different buttons/functions.
Cookies provide website owners with valuable feedback on how their sites are used by users, so they can make them more efficient or more accessible to users.
They allow multimedia or other applications from other websites to be included (embedded) in certain pages to create a more valuable, useful, and enjoyable browsing experience.
What is a "cookie"?
An "Internet Cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie" or simply "cookie") is a small file containing letters and numbers that will be stored on the user's computer, mobile device, or other equipment from which they accessed a website.
The cookie is sent through a request issued by the web server hosting the site to the user's browser (e.g., Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, etc.) and is completely "passive", meaning it does not contain software programs, 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 and is uniquely associated with the domain hosting the site that sent it to the user's browser (e.g., www.supratherm.ro). Moreover, the lifetime of a cookie is determined, and only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again, and only when the user returns to the website associated with that web server.
Cookies will not request personal information to be used and cannot personally identify internet users.
There are two main categories of cookies:
Session cookies - these are temporarily stored in the web browser's cookie folder until the user leaves the respective website or closes the browser window.
Persistent cookies - these are stored on the computer or device used on the hard drive for a longer period and remain stored even after leaving the website or closing the web browser (usually depending on the preset cookie's lifespan).
Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one the user is visiting at that time - known as "third-party cookies" - which can be used anonymously to remember a user's interests, so that the most relevant advertising is delivered to that user.
Advantages of cookies
A cookie contains information that links a browser (the user) and a specific web server (the website). If a browser accesses that web server again, it can read the information already stored and react accordingly.
Cookies ensure users have a pleasant browsing experience and support the efforts of many websites to provide user-friendly services. Examples include online privacy preferences, language options for the website, or relevant advertising, etc.
Lifetime of a cookie
Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifetime 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 not retained after the user leaves the website, while other cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website ("permanent cookies").
However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time through the browser settings.
Third-party cookies
Certain content sections on some websites may be provided through third-party suppliers (e.g., news box, a video, or an 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 respective website. Third-party providers must also comply with the law and the website owner's privacy policies.

Third-party cookies
Performance cookies
This type of cookie will remember the user's preferences on this website, so they do not need to be set each time the site is visited.
Visitor analysis cookies
Each time a user visits this website, third-party analytics software generates a user analysis cookie. This cookie informs us if you have visited this website before. The browser checks for this cookie, and if it doesn't exist, one is generated. This allows monitoring of unique users who visit the website and how often they do so.
This cookie cannot be used to identify individuals; they are used only for statistical purposes.
Registration or authentication cookies
When you register or authenticate on this website, a cookie is generated that notifies us if you are registered or not. Our server uses these cookies to identify the account you are registered with and whether you have the necessary permissions for a particular service or access to certain sections of the website. It also allows associating comments you post on the website with your account's username. If you have not selected "keep me logged in," this cookie will be automatically deleted when you close the browser or the computer.
Remarketing policy refers to how a website collects and uses its users' data to display relevant ads to them on other sites. In the case of the website www.supratherm.ro, remarketing tags and conversion codes received from Google AdWords are used to collect cookies, which are used to display ads on the Google Display Network and in Google Search.
Cookies are used to better understand user behavior and to customize content and advertising displayed on websites. However, cookies can also be used for negative purposes, such as spyware, which is why it is important to browse safely and take measures to protect your privacy and online security.
To ensure safe and responsible browsing, you can follow some tips:
Customize your browser settings regarding cookies to establish a comfortable level of security.
Set long expiration dates for storing browsing history and personal access data if you are the only person using the computer.
If you share access to the computer, consider setting the browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close the browser.
Install and regularly update anti-spyware applications.
Disabling cookies might make some websites impractical or difficult to visit and use. Refusing to accept cookies does not mean you will no longer receive or see online advertising.
You can change your browser settings to no longer accept cookies or to accept cookies only from a specific website. Most modern browsers offer the ability to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu of your browser.
