The website www.greenlake.ro uses cookies to provide its visitors with a better browsing experience and services tailored to each visitor’s interests. Below, we provide the information you need to inform you about the details regarding the placement, use and management of the cookies used by the website www.greenlake.ro.

Applicability of this Policy

This Policy applies to the website www.greenlake.ro.
For identification purposes, the information in this document also applies to other online platforms operated by or on behalf of PIH DEVELOPMENT SRL. By using this website, you agree to our use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files made up of letters and numbers that will be stored on a user’s computer, mobile device or other equipment used to access the internet.
Cookies are installed via a request sent by a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome).
Cookies are completely “passive” (they do not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user’s hard drive).
A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and the content or value of the cookie. A cookie’s lifespan 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 web server.
Cookies themselves do not require personal data in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.

What is the lifespan of a cookie?

A cookie’s lifespan 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 therefore are 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 the browser settings.

What are third-party cookies?

Some content sections of certain websites may be provided through third-party cookies, such as in the case of an advertisement. Such cookies may be placed on the website and are referred to as third-party cookies because they are not placed by the website owner. Such third parties are also required to comply with applicable legal regulations and the privacy policies of the respective website owner.

Why are cookies important?

Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the internet, helping to create a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to each user’s preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some websites impossible to use. Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising—it only means that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, as indicated by your browsing behaviour. Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require user authentication via an account):

  • Content and services tailored to the user’s preferences – product and service categories;
  • Offers tailored to users’ interests – remembering passwords;
  • Remembering child protection filters for internet content (family mode options, safe search functions);
  • Limiting ad frequency – limiting the number of times an ad is displayed to a particular user on a website;
  • Providing more relevant advertising for the user;
  • Measurement, optimisation 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 these usage analyses to improve their websites for the benefit of users.

What types of cookies do we use?

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

  • site performance cookies: these remember the user’s preferences on this website;
  • visitor analytics cookies: these tell us whether you have visited this website before; the browser will tell us if you have this cookie, and if not, we will generate one;
  • geotargeting cookies: these are used by software that determines which country you are from; they are completely anonymous and are used only for content targeting;
  • advertising cookies: based on these, we can find out whether you have viewed an online ad, what type of ad it was, and how much time has passed since you viewed it.

Do cookies contain personal data?

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.
