About this cookie policy
This policy refers to the cookies used on the PPROMANIA.RO Website.
By „ PPROMANIA.RO Website” we mean any web page (website, landing page, subdomain, etc.) owned, managed, or located under the umbrella of Pendl & Piswanger Romania.

WHY DO WE USE COOKIES ?
Cookies are very useful and perform various functions that make your browsing on the site easy and pleasant. You could say that they are like “memories” that the site keeps about you, helping it to remember how you navigated its pages and the choices you made along the way.
You can navigate a site that remembers you more easily and faster than one that doesn’t recognize you. That’s why most of the sites you know and like use cookies.
WHAT’S IN A COOKIE?
A cookie is a simple piece of information in the form of a very small text file. Each cookie is unique and consists of the name of the site that created it and a unique string of numbers and letters.
Most sites place cookies on your device’s hard drive (computer, mobile phone, or tablet) when you browse a webpage. This is possible in the browser – for example Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari or Firefox. A cookie can only be read and retrieved by the site that created it. Sites can never exchange information with each other through cookies.
Some cookies are only valid during your visit. These “session cookies” disappear from your computer or mobile device after you close your browser. Other cookies remain on your computer or mobile device after you close your browser and are valid for a certain period of time. These “persistent cookies” are activated every time you visit the site that generated them.
WHAT IS NOT IN A COOKIE?
Cookies (as stand-alone items) do NOT contain:
- Personal information – you cannot be personally identified based on a cookie.
- Program code – unlike a computer virus, a cookie is not composed of code, which means that it is not able to damage your device.
FOR WHAT PURPOSES DO WE USE COOKIES?
A visit to this site may place the following types of cookies:
- cookies strictly necessary for the operation of the site

Required Cookies
First, they may be necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the website. For example, cookies can be used to ensure the security of the site and visitors, by preventing counterfeiting between sites. This category of cookies is automatically active and is not subject to the visitor’s consent.
We have included cookies placed here to show you non-personalized advertising (which reminds you that an ad has been shown), as well as those that measure our audience on the site (without including the demographic or audience segmentation component) because without traffic measurement our site cannot be profitable, and privacy rules are not intended to block the display of advertising.
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use a web page, such as the most popular pages, which page is the most effective way to link, and whether users receive error messages from web pages. These cookies allow us to provide users with a high-quality user experience and are intended to help improve the way our website works, as well as the demographic segmentation of the audience, which is further used in personalizing advertising if this purpose is allowed.
Last but not least, when we integrate social networking plugins into the site, they place social media cookies to allow the playback of the content (e.g., Youtube), to give you the opportunity to log in using a third-party service. (e.g., Facebook or Google), as well as to give you the opportunity to appreciate or share a page or product on your favorite social service.
Cookies for Personalized Advertising
We also use cookies to enable the personalization of online advertising. The use of advertising personalization cookies is a current standard for most important sites you visit. Advertising of this type helps us to reach the categories of customers interested in a certain type of product, to which the respective advertisements are displayed. Usually, the information about the categories that define the range of interested users is not personal data, but the profile that is created about visitors is based on the data collected through advertising profiling cookies, falls into the category of personal data. As these cookies are placed by third parties with our consent, it results that the profiling (which is a processing of personal data) through these cookies is performed by us as a data controller.

Double Click

Please note that we have no control over how the information collected through these cookies is used, nor do we have access to it. However, we are responsible together with social networks for these processing, in accordance with European policies.
The content of the plugin is transmitted by that provider directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, the provider receives information that you have accessed on the website of our site, even if you do not have a user account with that provider or are not connected to the service in question. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a vendor’s server, stored there as a usage profile, and used, among other things, for advertising, market research and designing the supplier’s website.
If, during your visit to our site, you are connected to your Facebook or LinkedIn user account, that provider may also associate the site visit with the user account.
If you don’t want your user profile to be associated with your plugin provider, you can select the “Disable third-party cookie mode” feature in your browser settings. This way, your browser no longer sends cookies to the special server of the social network.
