Cookie policy
Dear user, below we present the information regarding the cookie policy of the site http://rank.viralseo.org.ro/
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files, made up of letters and numbers, stored on the computer, mobile phone or other devices that have access to the Internet. Cookies are installed through requests sent by a server to an Internet browser (eg: Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari).
HOW LONG DO COOKIES VALIDATE?
The duration of existence of Cookie files can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which they are placed and can be classified either as temporary (“session cookies”) or as permanent (“permanent cookies”).
“Session cookies” record the User’s actions in a single browsing session on the site. This browsing “session” starts when the website page is opened and ends when the Internet browser is closed. Basically, at the end of the session, the cookies are deleted forever. These cookies do not store personal data.
“Permanent cookies” are those cookies that are stored in the User’s device until they are deleted or reach their expiration date. These cookies have a longer duration and are activated automatically when the User visits a certain site again. Persistent cookies can provide information about the number of visitors/users of a site, an average time spent on a certain page, the performance of a website, etc. Even if these cookies have a long lifetime, they can be deleted from the User’s devices at any time by changing the settings of the Browser used. These cookies do not store personal data.
Persistent cookie files stored on your equipment as a result of accessing and using the site http://rank.viralseo.org.ro/ will not exceed a period of 2 years from the date of the last visit.
WHY ARE COOKIES NECESSARY?
Cookie files are important in personalizing certain settings (the language in which a website is viewed, the currency in which certain prices are expressed, memorizing options for various products in the shopping cart), providing valuable feedback on how the website is used so that that we can make it more efficient and accessible.
WHAT CATEGORIES OF COOKIES ARE USED ON THIS SITE?
REQUIRED
Necessary cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions, such as page navigation and access to secure areas on the website. The site cannot function properly without these cookies.
statistically
Statistical cookies help site owners understand how visitors interact with the site by collecting and reporting information anonymously.
We may store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of this site. For all other types of cookies we will ask for your permission.
These categories of cookies can also be classified according to their source: “primary cookies” or “third-party cookies”.
“Primary cookies” are the cookies created by this site, while “third-party cookies” are created by a site other than the one visited. This site can allow the use/installation of “third-party cookies” only from sites previously approved by http://rank.viralseo.org.ro/

ARE THERE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF COOKIES?
These files do not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information stored on the hard drive of the equipment. Cookie files do not require personal information to be used and in most cases do not personally identify Internet users.
The data collected through the use of Cookies can facilitate certain functionalities for the user.
These data are usually encrypted in a way that makes it impossible for unauthorized persons to access them.
Cookie files can still be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about users’ preferences and browsing history, both on a specific site and on several other sites, cookies can be used as a form of spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and constantly mark cookie files to be deleted during anti-virus / anti-spyware deletion / scanning procedures.
In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a certain Site.
Identity protection
atii is very valuable and represents the right of every Internet user, so it is advisable to know what possible problems cookie files can create.
Because through them, information is constantly transmitted in both directions between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes during the data transmission, the information contained in the cookie files can be intercepted. Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (ex: an unsecured WiFi network).
Other attacks based on cookies involve wrong cookie settings on servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. The attackers then use the information to gain unauthorized access to certain websites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most suitable method of personal information protection.
With a clear understanding of how they operate and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can surf the Internet with confidence.
Tips that can ensure worry-free navigation but with the help of cookie files:
a. customize your browser settings regarding cookies to reflect a comfortable level of security for the use of cookies.
b. if you don’t mind cookies and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration dates for storing browsing history and personal access data.
c. if you share access to the computer, you may consider setting your browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close the browser. This is an option to access the sites that place cookie files and to delete any visit information when closing the browsing session.
