isoletta.ro uses cookies to ensure the most efficient use of our services and to obtain statistical information that allows us to improve our services. Cookies (as defined below) allow us to save your access information and browsing preferences so that you do not have to re-enter them the next time you visit us.
What are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, that will be stored on a user’s computer, mobile terminal, or other equipment used to access the internet. The cookie is installed via a request sent by a web server to a browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox) and is completely “passive” (it does not contain software, viruses, or spyware and cannot access information on the user’s hard drive).
The use of cookies is a current standard for many of the major websites you visit. Most browsers are set to accept cookies. However, if you prefer, you can set your browser to block all cookies, including those associated with our services, or to indicate when we place a cookie. It is important to note, however, that many of our services may not function properly if you have disabled cookies.
The Role of Cookies
Cookies allow the recognition of the user’s equipment and the proper display of the website, adapted to the user’s individual preferences. Cookies are intended to ensure a pleasant and secure web browsing experience and to provide you with complete services, based on your online behavior on the isoletta.ro website or mobile applications. Specifically, based on cookies, isoletta.ro has the ability to:
- Adapt the presentation and display of the site according to your preferences (language, resolution, etc.);
- Create anonymous statistics, which do not involve personal identification, based on your behavior on the site and interest in the products presented (these statistics allow us to improve the structure and content of the site to provide you with the information you need);
- Ensure web security measures.
What cookies isoletta.ro collects
This website uses Remarketing through Google Analytics for online advertising
The isoletta.ro web domain uses the Remarketing advertising option provided by Google and Facebook. Through this type of advertising, Google and/or Facebook collect cookies from this site to show you advertising campaigns that are closer to your interests, as expressed by the types of pages accessed in the past on this web domain (isoletta.ro).
Third-party vendors, including Google, display our ads on websites across the internet. This site and third-party vendors, including Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) in combination to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on your past visits to the site.
How you can control advertising cookies
Disabling and refusing to receive cookies can make certain sites impractical or difficult to visit and use. Furthermore, refusing to accept cookies does not mean you will no longer receive/see online advertising.
It is possible to set your browser so that these cookies are no longer accepted, or you can set your browser to accept cookies from a specific site. However, for example, if you are not registered using cookies, you will not be able to leave comments.
All modern browsers offer the possibility to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the “Options” or “Preferences” menu of your browser. To understand these settings, the following links may be useful, or you can use the “Help” option of your browser for more details:
- Cookie settings in Microsoft Edge
- Cookie settings in Firefox
- Cookie settings in Chrome
- Cookie settings in Safari
For settings regarding cookies generated by third parties, you can also consult the website: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. To manage the Google ads shown to you, you can use the Ad Settings. You also have the option to manage cookies from your web browser or install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Web Security and User Privacy Issues
Cookies are NOT viruses and do not collect personal data.However, cookies can be used to the detriment of users by Spyware programs. Because they store information about users’ preferences and browsing history, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Anti-spyware applications are designed to mark cookies for deletion during anti-virus/anti-spyware scanning procedures.
Browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance—such as validity periods and automatic deletion at the end of a web session.
Other Security Aspects Related to Cookies
Since every internet user has the right to online identity protection, it is advisable to be informed about possible security risks. Given that information is constantly exchanged between the browser and the website you visit through these files, information transmitted via cookies can be intercepted by unauthorized persons or programs. For example, this is possible if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted/unsecured network—such as certain Wi-Fi networks.
Other cookie-based attacks may be possible due to incorrect cookie settings on servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to gain access to information transmitted via cookies. For these reasons, it is essential to pay close attention to the settings through which you protect your personal information online.
Tips for Safe and Responsible Browsing Based on Cookies
Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest sites use cookies, they are almost unavoidable. Disabling cookies prevents user access to the most widespread and used sites, including YouTube, Gmail, Yahoo, and others.
Therefore, we offer a few tips to ensure safe web browsing through cookies:
- Customize your browser settings regarding cookies.
- If you are the sole user of the terminal, you can set longer expiration dates for cookies.
- If you are not the sole user of the terminal, consider deleting individual browsing data every time you close the browser.
- Install anti-spyware applications and update them constantly.
- Ensure that your browser is always updated, as many cookie-based attacks are possible due to the weaknesses of older browser versions.
