Cookies Policy

The present Cookie Policy applies to all users of the website http://factual.silkmart.ro.

The following information aims to inform users of this website about the placement, use, and management of cookies in the context of user navigation on this website.

1. What are cookies?

An "Internet Cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie," or simply "cookie") is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that is stored on a user's computer, mobile device, or other equipment used to access the internet.

Cookies are installed upon request from a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome).

Once installed, cookies have a determined lifespan, remaining "passive," meaning they do not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and do not access information from the user's hard drive.

A cookie consists of two parts: the cookie name and its content/value.

From a technical standpoint, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that server.

2. For what purposes are cookies used on this website?

Cookies are used to provide users of this website with a better browsing experience and services tailored to each user’s needs and interests, as follows:

• Improving the use of this website, including by identifying any errors that occur during user visits;

• Providing anonymous statistics on how this website is used to the website owner;

• Anticipating potential future goods to be made available to users through this website, based on accessed services/products.

Based on feedback provided through cookies regarding how this website is used, improvements can be made to make it more efficient and accessible for users.

3. What is the lifespan of cookies?

The lifespan of cookies varies depending on their purpose. The following categories of cookies determine their lifespan:
