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 from which the internet is accessed. The cookie is installed by the request issued by the user’s terminal to the server on which the sensmedia.ro website is hosted.
3. What are cookies used for?
These files mainly make it possible to recognize the user’s terminal and present content in a relevant way, adapted to the user’s preferences.
Cookies ensure users a pleasant browsing experience and support our efforts to provide services more adapted to users, e.g.: – online privacy preferences, shopping cart or relevant advertising. They are also used in the preparation of anonymous aggregate statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our websites, allowing us to improve their structure and content, without allowing the user to be personally identified.
4. What cookies do we use?
We use two types of cookies: session and persistent.
Session cookies are temporary files that remain on the user’s terminal until the session ends or the application is closed.

They are stored for the periods described in the table in point 11 below. These settings can be changed so 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 on the possibilities and ways of managing cookies can be found in the settings area of the application (web browser). Limiting the use of cookies may affect certain functionalities of the website.
9. Why are cookies and/or similar technologies important for the Internet?
Cookies and/or similar technologies are a central point of the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience adapted to the preferences and interests of each user. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some sites or parts of sites impossible to use.
Disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive, in compliance with the law, online advertising – it only means that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, highlighted by your browsing behavior.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to authenticate through an account):
• Content and services adapted to user preferences – product and service categories.
• Offers adapted to user interests
• Password retention
• Retention of child protection filters regarding Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).
• Limiting the frequency of advertising – limiting the number of times an advertisement is displayed to a specific user on a site.
• Providing relevant advertising to the user.
• Measuring, optimizing and adapting 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. via search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.). Websites perform these analytics regarding their use in order to improve their services for the benefit of users.
10. Security and privacy issues
Browsers generally have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.
Other security issues related to cookies:
• Customizing your browser settings regarding cookies to reflect a comfortable level of security for you in the use of cookies.
• If you are the only person using the computer, you can set, if you wish, long expiration dates for storing browsing history and personal access data.
• If you share a computer, you may want to consider setting your browser to clear individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is one way to access sites that place cookies and delete any browsing information when you close your browsing session.
