Cookies policy

The information presented below is intended to provide users with more details about the placement, use, and management of cookies used by the The Margareta of Romania Royal Foundation website. This website uses cookies to provide visitors with a better browsing experience, as well as services tailored to their needs and interests.

A cookie is a small text file that often includes a unique identifier and is assigned to your computer or device when you visit a website.

Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser preferences allow it. However, in order to protect your privacy, your browser allows a website to access only the cookies it has already sent to you, not those sent by other websites. Many websites do this whenever a user visits their site, in order to track online traffic flows.

We use cookies to improve the quality of the website and services and to enhance the browsing experience. Some of the cookies we use last only for the duration of your website session and expire when you close your web browser. Other cookies are used, for example, to remember the information you requested (such as language preferences) and remain active for a longer period of time.

The lifespan of a cookie can vary significantly depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are intended for a single use (such as session cookies) and are therefore not retained once the user leaves the website. Other cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to the website (persistent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time through browser settings.

Some sections of website content may be provided through third-party cookies, such as advertisements. These cookies may be placed on the website and are called third-party cookies because they are not placed by the website owner. Such third parties are themselves required to comply with applicable legal regulations and the privacy policies of the respective website owner.

Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a user-friendly browsing experience adapted to each user’s preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may make certain websites impossible to use. Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising, but only that such advertising will no longer take into account your preferences and interests, as reflected by your browsing behavior.

 

Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require user authentication through an account) include:

  1. Content and services tailored to user preferences – product and service categories;
  2. Offers tailored to user interests – password retention;
  3. Retention of child protection filters for Internet content (family mode options, safe search features);
  4. Limiting ad display frequency – limiting the number of times an ad is shown to a specific user on a website;
  5. Providing more relevant advertising to users;
  6. Measurement, optimization, and 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 run such analyses of their usage to improve the site for the benefit of users.

By accessing this website, the following types of cookies may be placed:

  • Website performance cookies – these store user preferences on this website;
  • Visitor analytics cookies – these tell us whether you have visited this website before; the browser informs us if you have this cookie, and if not, we generate one;
  • Geotargeting cookies – used by software that determines the country you are accessing the website from; they are completely anonymous and used only for content targeting;
  • Registration cookies – these indicate whether you are registered, show the account you are registered with, and whether you have permission to access a specific service;
  • Advertising cookies – based on these, we can determine whether you have viewed an online advertisement, what type of advertisement it was, and how much time has passed since you viewed it.

Cookies themselves do not require personal data in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users. Personal data may be collected through the use of cookies only to facilitate certain functionalities for the user.
