1. Cookie Policy

It is important to be transparent and open about how we collect and use data about you.

In the spirit of transparency, this policy provides detailed information about how and when we use Cookie files.

This policy covers cookies and web pages of the site https://www.lapis-residence.ro/

2. What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, which will be stored on the user's terminal (e.g. a user's computer, mobile terminal or other equipment from which the internet is accessed).

The cookie is installed by a request issued by a web-server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome, etc.) and is completely "passive" (does not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user's hard drive).

Cookies play an important role in facilitating access to and delivery of the many services you enjoy on the Internet, such as displaying a site correctly when you visit it using your computer, mobile device or other equipment from which you access the Internet, customizing certain settings (language, country, prices displayed in national currency, etc.), allowing access to the website web, etc.

Cookies provide site owners with valuable feedback on how their sites are used by users, so they can make them more efficient and accessible to users and include applications or features on the site that create an easier, more useful and more enjoyable browsing experience.

3. What are Cookies used for?

Cookie files make it possible to recognize the user's terminal and present content in a relevant way, tailored to the user's preferences.

Cookies ensure users a pleasant browsing experience and support our efforts to provide convenient services to users: e.g. - privacy preferences online, services or relevant advertising. They are also used in the preparation of aggregated anonymous statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content, excluding personal identification of the user.

4. What Cookies do we use?

We use two types of cookies: session and persistent.

Session cookies are temporary files that are active and remain on the user's terminal until the session ends or the application (web browser) is closed.
Persistent cookies are files stored, for a set period of time, on the storage medium of a computer or device. Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one the user is currently visiting - known as "third party cookies" - which can be used anonymously to remember a user's interests in order to deliver the most relevant advertising to users.

5. How are Cookies used by this site?

A visit to this site may place Cookies for the purposes of:

These Cookies may be your own or may come from third parties such as Google Analytics, Facebook or other platforms/websites that track your activity for marketing purposes.

Performance cookies
This type of cookie retains the user's preferences on this site, so there is no need to set them each time you visit the site. For example: volume settings for the video player, video streaming speed that the browser is compatible with.

Cookies for visitor analysis
Every time a user visits this site the analytics software provided by a third party generates a User Analytics Cookie. This Cookie tells us whether you have visited this site before. Your browser will tell us if you have this Cookie, and if not, we will generate one. It allows us to track unique users who visit us and how often they do so. As long as you are not registered on this site, this Cookie cannot be used to identify individuals, they are only used for statistical purposes. If you are registered we may also know the details you have provided to us, such as your email address and username - these are subject to the privacy and confidentiality provisions of our Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and the provisions of current legislation on the protection of personal data.

Cookies for geotargeting
These Cookies are used by software that determines which country you are from. It is completely anonymous and is only used to target content - even when you are on our page in English or another language you receive the same advertisement.

Cookies for registration
When you register on this site, we generate a cookie that tells us whether you are registered or not. Our servers use these Cookies to show us which account you are registered with and whether you have permission for a particular service. It also allows us to associate any comments you post on our site with your username. If you have not selected "keep me logged in", this Cookie will be automatically deleted when you close your browser or computer.

Advertising cookies
These cookies allow us to know whether or not you have viewed an online advertisement, what type of advertisement it is and how long it has been since you saw the advertisement. These Cookies are also used to target online advertising. We may also use cookies belonging to a third party to better target advertising, for example to show holiday advertisements if the user has recently visited an article on the website about holidays. These cookies are anonymous, they store information about the content viewed, not about the users. We also set anonymous cookies through other sites we advertise on. By receiving them, we can then use them to recognize you as a visitor to that site if you subsequently visit our site, we will be able to deliver advertising to you based on this information.

Personal data collected through the use of Cookies may only be collected to facilitate certain functionalities for the user. This 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 cookies to be saved on the terminal by default. These settings can be changed in such a way that the automatic management of Cookies is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed each time Cookies are sent to his terminal. Detailed information about the possibilities and modes of Cookie management can be found in the settings area of the application (web browser).
Limiting the use of cookies may affect certain features of the website.
