Cookies Use Policy – EURACHEM WEEK 2025

Introduction

This Cookie Policy applies to all users of the eurachem2025.ro website. The information presented below aims to inform users of this website about the placement, use, and management of cookies by the administrator of eurachem2025.ro in the context of users browsing this website.

What are cookies?

We use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and similar technologies through which information can be collected automatically.

An “Internet Cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie”) is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that will be stored on a user’s computer, mobile terminal, or other equipment through which the internet is accessed.

Cookies are installed by a web server’s request to a browser (e.g., Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari). Once installed, cookies have a determined lifespan, remaining “passive,” meaning they do not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and will not access information on the user’s hard drive on whose equipment they were installed.

A cookie consists of two parts:

the name of the cookie; and
the content or value of the cookie.

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

For what purposes are cookies used on this website?

Cookies are used to ensure the functioning of the site and to provide users of this website with a better browsing experience and information tailored to the interests of each user, specifically:

• Improving the use of this website, for example, by remembering the name and email address entered when posting a comment so that they are already filled out the next time;

• Providing anonymous statistics on how this website is used to the site administrator, as the owner of this website, to know how the site is performing, what is being read, and what is not, what needs to be adjusted in terms of graphics and content for optimal display on various devices;

• Remembering that you have seen the cookie information message and whether you accepted or rejected the use of non-functional cookies;

• Remembering banners you have seen (if any) so that banners of interest to you are displayed.

All this information (especially the statistics) makes it possible for the website to exist and to provide content of interest to as many readers as possible.

What is the lifespan of cookies?

The lifespan of cookies can vary significantly depending on their purpose. There are the following categories of cookies that determine their lifespan:

• Session cookies – A “session cookie” is a cookie that is automatically deleted when the user closes their browser.

• Persistent or fixed cookies – A “persistent” or “fixed” cookie is a cookie that remains stored on the user’s terminal until it reaches a specific expiration date (which may be in minutes, days, or months) or until it is deleted by the user at any time through browser settings.
