Cookies policy

What is the use of cookies policy?

This policy refers to cookies and web pages operated by LavenderANNA SRL, with its registered office in Galati.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files, consisting of letters and numbers, which will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal or other equipment of a user accessing the Internet. The cookies are installed by a web server’s request from a browser (eg Internet Explorer, Chrome) and are completely ‘passive’ (they do not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the user’s hard drive).

What are cookies used for?

Cookies can ensure faster and easier interaction between users and websites. For example, when a user is authenticated on a particular website, the authentication data is stored in a cookie; subsequently, the user can access the respective site without having to login again.

In other cases, cookies can be used to store information about the activities carried out by the user on a particular web page, so that it can easily resume their respective activities at a later access to the site. Cookies tell the server what pages the user should look for, so that the user does not have to remember this or navigate the entire site from the beginning. Thus, cookies can be assimilated to ‘bookmarks’ that tell the user exactly where he / she stayed within a website.

Similarly, cookies can store information about the products ordered by the user on an e-commerce site, thus making the concept of ‘shopping cart’ possible.

The kind of vookies we use?

We use two types of cookies: per session and fixed. Fixed cookies are temporary files that remain in the user’s terminal until the end of the session or the closure of the application (web browser). The fixed files remain on the user’s terminal for a period of time in the parameters of the cookie or until they are manually deleted by the user.

Personal data collected through the use of cookies can be collected only to facilitate certain functionalities for the user. This data is encrypted in a way that makes it impossible for unauthorized persons to access it.
