1. Cookie Usage Policy

This policy refers to cookies and web pages operated by MY MOTOR SRL headquartered at DN 22B, Km 4-5, Brăila,RO, (hereinafter referred to as Delta Marină).

2. What are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, which will be stored on the computer, mobile device, or other equipment of a user accessing the internet. The cookie is installed by a web server request to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (it does not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and cannot access information from the user’s hard drive).

3. What are Cookies used for?
These files make it possible to recognize the user’s terminal and present the content in a relevant manner, adapted to the user’s preferences. Cookies ensure users a pleasant browsing experience and support Delta Marină’s efforts to provide comfortable services to users: e.g., online privacy preferences, shopping cart, or relevant advertising. They are also used in preparing anonymous aggregate statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content, excluding the user’s personal identification.

4. What Cookies do we use?
We use two types of Cookies: persistent and session. The latter are temporary files that remain on the user’s terminal until the end of the session or the closure of the application (web browser). Fixed files remain on the user’s terminal for a period within the Cookie’s parameters or until manually deleted by the user.

5. How are cookies used by this site?
A visit to this site may place cookies for purposes of:

– Site performance cookies
– Visitor analysis cookies
– Geotargeting cookies
– Registration cookies
– Advertising cookies
– Advertising provider cookies

6. Do Cookies contain personal data?
Cookies themselves do not request personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users. Personal data collected through the use of Cookies may only be collected to facilitate certain functionalities for the user. Therefore, the data is encrypted in a way that makes it impossible for unauthorized persons to access it.

7. Deleting Cookies
In general, an application used to access web pages allows the saving of Cookies on the terminal by default. These settings can be changed so that the automatic administration of Cookies is blocked by the web browser, or the user is informed each time Cookies are sent to their terminal. Detailed information about the possibilities and methods of managing Cookies can be found in the application’s settings area (web browser). Limiting the use of Cookies may affect certain functionalities of the web page.

8. Why are Cookies important for the Internet?
Cookies are the central point of 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 websites impossible to use.

Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising – only that it will no longer take into account your preferences and interests highlighted by browsing behavior.

Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require user authentication through an account):

– Content and services tailored to user preferences – product and service categories.
– Offers tailored to user interests – password retention.
– Retention of child protection filters regarding Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).
– Limiting the frequency of ad displays – limiting the number of times an ad is displayed to a specific user on a site.
– Providing more relevant advertising to the user.
– 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 (e.g., through search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.). Websites perform these usage analyzes to improve the sites for the benefit of users.

9. Security and privacy issues related to Cookies
Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code, so they cannot be executed, nor can they self-run. Therefore, they cannot be duplicated or replicated on other networks to be run or replicated again. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.

However, cookies can be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about users’ preferences and browsing history, both on a particular site and on several other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this and consistently mark cookies for deletion in antivirus/anti-spyware scanning procedures.

In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, expiration period, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a certain site.

Other security aspects related to cookies:
Because identity protection is very valuable and represents the right of every internet user, it is advisable to know what potential problems cookies can create. Because they constantly transmit information in both directions between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes in the data transmission path, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted.
Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (e.g., an unsecured WiFi network).

Other cookie-based attacks involve incorrect cookie settings on servers. If a website does not request the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. Attackers then use the information for unauthorized access to certain sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method of protecting personal information.

Tips for safe and responsible browsing based on cookies.
Because of their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest sites use cookies, they are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow user access to the most widespread and used sites, including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo, and others.

Here are some tips to ensure worry-free browsing with the help of cookies:
Customize your browser settings regarding cookies to reflect a comfortable level of security for you.

If you do not mind cookies and are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration periods for storing browsing history and personal access data.

If you share computer access, you can consider setting the browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close the browser. This is a way to access sites that place cookies and delete any visit information when closing the browsing session.

Install and constantly update antispyware applications. Many spyware detection and prevention applications include detection of attacks on websites. Thus, they prevent the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software.

Ensure that your browser is always up to date. Many cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting weaknesses in older browser versions.

Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and largest sites on the Internet – local or international. With a clear understanding of how they operate and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can browse the internet with confidence.

Disabling and refusing to receive cookies may make certain sites impractical or difficult to visit and use. Also, refusing to accept cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive/see online advertising.

You can set your browser to no longer accept these cookies, or you can set your browser to accept cookies from a specific site. But, for example, if you are not logged in using cookies, you will not be able to leave comments.

All modern browsers offer the ability 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 can be helpful; otherwise, you can use the browser’s “help” option for more details.
