1 .Introduction

This Cookie Policy applies to all users of the website www.lakeside11.ro.
The purpose of the information below is to inform users of this website about the placement, use, and management of cookies in the context of browsing this website.

 

2. What are cookies?

We use the term “cookies” to refer to cookie modules and similar technologies through which information can be collected automatically.

An “Internet Cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie,” “HTTP cookie,” or simply “cookie”) is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that is stored on a user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment used to access the internet.

Some cookies are very useful as they can improve the user experience when revisiting the same webpage. If you use the same device and browser as before, cookies can remember, for example, your preferences, communicate how you use a webpage, and adapt the displayed offers to your personal interests and needs.

Most cookies we use are automatically deleted from your hard drive after the browser session ends. Additionally, we use cookies that remain on your hard drive even after the session ends. These cookies are primarily intended to improve the user experience on subsequent visits to the website by tailoring the webpage to your personal needs and optimizing loading times.

Cookies are installed through a request sent by a web server to a browser (e.g., Edge, Firefox, Chrome). Once installed, cookies have a determined lifespan, remaining “passive,” meaning they do not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and do not access information on the user’s device.

A cookie consists of two parts:

• The cookie name, and
• The cookie content or value.

From a technical perspective, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when the user returns to the webpage associated with that server.

We use the term “cookies” to refer to cookie modules and similar technologies through which information can be collected automatically.
