An "Internet Cookie" (also known as "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie" or simply "cookie" ) is a small file, consisting of numbers and letters, which will be stored on your computer, mobile terminal or other equipment of a user accessing the Internet.
Note: The cookie is installed through the request issued by a web server to a browser (eg Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely "passive" (it does not contain: software, viruses or spyware and can not access the information on the hard drive- user's). Cookies themselves do not require personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users.
A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and content or value of the cookie. Moreover, the duration of a cookie is determined; technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that server.
Cookies can be divided and classified into 2 large categories:
A cookie contains information that connects a web-browser (the user) and 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. online privacy preferences, site language options, shopping carts or relevant advertising.
Cookies are managed by webservers. The life 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 browser settings.
Certain sections of content on some sites may be provided through third parties/ providers. These third parties may also place cookies through the site and they are called "third party cookies" because they are not placed by the owner of that website. Third-party providers must also comply with the law in force and the privacy policies of the site owner.
A visit to this site may place cookies for the purposes of:
a) Site performance cookies

b) Visitor analysis cookies
Each time a user visits this site, the analytics software provided by a third party generates a user analysis cookie. This cookie tells us if you have visited this site before. Your browser will tell us if you have this cookie, and if not, we will generate one. It allows monitoring of unique users who visit us and how often they do it.

We may also use cookies belonging to a third party, for a better personalization of advertising, to show for example advertisements about cars, if the user has recently visited an article on the site on this topic. These cookies are anonymous, they store information about the viewed content, not about the users. We also install anonymous cookies on other web pages with which we have advertising partnerships.

f) Cookies of advertising providers
Much of the advertising you find on this site belongs to third parties. Some of these parties use their own anonymous cookies to analyze how many people have been exposed to an advertising message, or to see how many people have been exposed multiple times to the same advertisement.
The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies, and this website does not have access to read or write these cookies. The cookies of these third parties can be used to present your personalized advertising on other web pages, based on your navigation on this site.
g) Other third-party cookies
On some pages, third parties may set up their own anonymous cookies in order to track the success of an application, or to file an application. Due to the way of use, this site cannot access these cookies, just as third parties cannot access the cookies owned by this site.

You can consult the detailed list of all cookies used by www.carfixconnect.ro website , on its own behalf and on behalf of third parties in the list displayed below, in table b. Third party cookies
Cookies store information in a small text file that allows a website to recognize a browser. The webserver will recognize your browser until the cookie expires or is deleted. The cookie stores important information that improves the Internet browsing experience (for example: online banking security; keeping a user logged into the webmail account; preferences related to the language in which you want to access a site)
Cookies are the focal point of the efficient operation of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience and tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Denying or disabling cookies can make some sites impossible to use. Denying or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising - but only that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, highlighted by your browsing behavior.
Below you can find examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require authentication of a user through an account):
Attention: COOKIES ARE NOT VIRUSES!
They use plain text formats. They're not made up of pieces of code so they can't be executed nor can they auto-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.
Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about users' preferences and browsing history, both on a particular 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 cookies to be deleted, in the anti-virus / anti-spyware deletion / scanning procedures.
In general, browsers have integrated privacy options that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, period of validity and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.
Because identity protection is very valuable and represents the right of every Internet user, it is advisable to know what possible problems cookies can create. Because through them information is constantly transmitted in both ways between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes in the data transmission path, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted. Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (e.g. an unsecured WiFi network).
Other cookie-based attacks 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 induce browsers to send information through unsecured channels. Attackers then use the information for the purpose of unauthorized access to certain sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method of protecting personal information.
Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited sites and the largest ones use cookies, they are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user access to the most widespread and used sites including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.
Below we offer some tips that can ensure that you navigate without worries but with the help of cookies:
Many of the spyware detection and prevention applications include detecting attacks on websites. Thus, it prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software.
Make sure you have your browser always up to date. Many of the cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting the weaknesses of the old versions of browsers.
Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and largest sites on the Internet - local or international. 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.
