What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file sent by a web server to a web browser and then sent back (unchanged) by the browser each time it accesses that server. A cookie consists of 2 parts: name and content (value). The lifespan of a cookie is determined. Technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user revisits that website. Cookies do not request personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not identify internet users personally.

What are similar technologies?

There are other technologies that can be used for the same purposes as cookies. https://sonostech.ro/ uses Local Storage as a similar technology.

What do we use cookies and similar technologies for?

Through cookies, we track the visitor's behavior on our site. Cookies help us improve the visitor's experience when accessing our site. By accepting cookies, the Client does not have to enter data each time they log into their account, and in this way, for example, the added product remains in the cart until the Client's next visit.

If a client chooses not to accept our cookies, they may have a less pleasant experience on the site than when they accept them. If a visitor chooses to accept cookies, they accept that the site (our server) will transmit small pieces of information to their hard drive. This information will be used for the purpose of displaying a site adapted to the client's preferences. Cookie files cannot be used to transmit viruses or run programs and cannot access information from the client's hard drive.

How are cookies used? / How are cookies used by this site?

strictly necessary cookies for the operation of the site

These are the strictly necessary cookies for the proper functioning of our site.

analysis cookies

These tell us if you have visited this site before. The browser will tell us if you have this cookie, and if not, we will generate one.

advertising cookies

Based on these, we can find out if you have viewed an online ad, what type of ad, and how long it has been since you viewed this ad.

What are the benefits of cookies?

A cookie contains information that links a web browser (the user) to a specific web server (the website). If a browser accesses that web server again, it can read the information already stored and react accordingly. Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support the efforts of many websites to provide comfortable services to users: e.g. language options on the site, shopping carts, online privacy preferences, or relevant advertising.

What is the lifespan of a cookie

The lifespan of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are used exclusively for a single session (session cookies) and are no longer retained once the user has left the website, and some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website (permanent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time through the browser settings.

Cookies contain personal data

Cookies themselves do not request personal information to be used and, in many cases, do not identify internet users personally. Personal data can be collected through the use of cookies only to facilitate certain functionalities for the user.

What does profiling mean?

With the help of the cookie technology used on our site, it is possible to find out the preferences of users - for example, by analyzing how often they visit our site or what products they look at most frequently. Analyzing online behavior helps us better understand the habits and expectations of users and adapt to their needs and interests. Thanks to this technology, we can not only present the user with an ad tailored to them, and from the available offers, we can present first those that best suit the user's needs, but we can also create and present offers for that user or discounts that are not available to other people.

The user's refusal of cookies that allow the display of ads tailored to their interests does not mean that they will no longer receive any ads when using our sites or other websites - in this case, the user will continue to receive the same number of ads, but they will not be related to their previous activity.

What does retargeting mean?

Relying on cookies, we use technology that allows us to reach users who have previously visited our site with an advertising message on other visited sites.

The lack of a link between the ad displayed to the user and their interests and needs can be disturbing to them. We consider it more attractive and practical for the user to receive the message that corresponds to their interests and needs identified as a result of the analysis of their previous behavior, based on cookie technology. Therefore, we are interested in advertising materials to follow the user who navigates on different websites to provide them with ads tailored to their previous online activity.

What do we understand about third-party cookies?

These cookies can come from the following third parties: Google and Facebook.

By accepting the user, cookies will be used for the following purposes:
