What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal, or other equipment of a user accessing the internet. The cookie is installed by the request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox) and is completely “passive” (it does not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and cannot access information from the user's hard drive).

The Role of Cookie Files

Cookie files allow the recognition of the user's equipment and the proper display of the Internet page, adapted to the user's individual preferences. Cookies are intended to ensure a pleasant and secure web browsing experience and to provide comprehensive services based on the user's online behavior on websites. Specifically, based on cookies, S.C. TERMOPLAST S.R.L. has the ability to:

• Adapt the presentation and display of the website according to your preferences (language, resolution, etc.).

• your registration (log in, newsletter, etc.)
• your user profile

Do cookies register and contain personal data?

Cookies do not request personally identifiable information and do not personally identify internet users. Personal data collected through the use of cookies can only be used to facilitate certain functionalities for you. This data is encrypted so that unauthorized persons cannot access it.

Deleting Cookies

Applications used to access web pages (browsers, for example) save cookies on Internet users' terminals by default. However, settings can be changed by you so that the automatic installation of cookies is blocked by the web browser. Detailed information on how to manage cookies is available in the settings field of the web browser. We inform you that limiting the use of cookies may affect certain functionalities of how pages are displayed.

Why are Cookies important for the Internet?

Cookies are important for the efficient operation of the Internet, in the user's interest, as they contribute to creating a simple and personalized web browsing experience based on the interests, preferences, and behavior of each user.

Blocking or disabling cookies may make some websites unusable or significantly limit your web experience. Blocking or disabling cookie files does not mean that you will no longer receive advertising messages, but rather that the web pages you are on will no longer provide you with an experience tailored to your type of behavior and preferences.

Cookie files are important for:

• Content and services tailored to your preferences - product and service categories.
• Offers tailored to your interests.
• Retaining child protection filters regarding web content (family mode options, safe search functions).
• Limiting the frequency of delivery of advertising messages - limiting the number of times an ad is displayed to a specific user on a site.
• Providing relevant advertising based on the user.
• Measuring, optimizing, and recording data related to site performance - traffic statistics, viewed content. This information is important for improving the web experience of users.

 

Web security and user confidentiality aspects

Cookies are NOT viruses and do not collect personal data.

However, cookies can be used to the detriment of users by spyware programs. Since they store information about users' preferences and browsing history, cookies can be used as a form of spyware. Anti-spyware applications mark cookies to be deleted during anti-virus/anti-spyware scanning procedures.

Browsers have integrated privacy settings that offer different levels of acceptance of cookies - such as validity period and automatic deletion at the end of a web session.

Tips for safe and responsible browsing, based on cookies

Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the largest and most visited websites 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.

Other security aspects related to Cookies

Since all Internet users have the right to online identity protection, it is advisable to be informed about possible security risks. Considering that information is constantly exchanged between the browser and the site you are visiting through these files, information transmitted through cookies can be intercepted by unauthorized persons or programs. For example, this is possible when the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted/insecure network - as is the case with certain Wi-Fi networks.

Other cookie-based attacks may be possible due to incorrect settings of these files on servers. If a website does not request the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can exploit this vulnerability to gain access to information transmitted through cookies. For these reasons, it is essential to pay special attention to the settings that protect your personal information available online.

We offer you some 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 extended expiration dates for cookies.
• If you are not the sole user of the terminal, consider deleting individual browsing data each time you close the browser.
• Install anti-spyware applications and keep them constantly updated.
• Ensure that the browser you are using is always up to date, as many cookie-based attacks are possible due to weak points in older browser versions.
