This policy refers to cookies and web pages operated by dialust.ro
This website uses cookies to provide visitors with a much better browsing experience and services tailored to their needs and interests. In what we call "web 2.0", the "cookies" play an important role in facilitating the access and delivery of multiple services the user enjoys while navigating the Internet, such as:
customizing certain settings, such as the language in which a site is viewed;
the cookies provide site owners with valuable feedback on how their sites are used by users so they can make them even more effective and accessible to them;
they allow multimedia or other applications from other websites to be included in a particular website to create a more valuable, useful and enjoyable browsing experience;
they improve the efficiency of online advertising.
What is a cookie?
An Internet Cookie (also known as cookie browser or HTTP cookie or simply cookie) is a small file of letters and numbers that will be stored on your computer, on other equipment of a user accessing the Internet.
The cookie is installed through a request issue by a web server to a browser (like Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely passive (it does not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the user's hard drive).
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 webserver that sent the cookie can access it again when a User returns to the website associated with that webserver.
Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users.
There are 2 large categories of cookies:
Session cookies - these are temporarily stored in the cookies folder of the web browser so that it can store them until the user leaves the respective website or closes the browser window (e.g. when logging in to a webmail account or on social networks).
Persistent cookies - they are stored on the hard drive of a computer or equipment (and generally depend on the default lifetime of the cookie). Persistent cookies include those placed by a website other than the one the user visits at the time – known as third party cookies – which can be used anonymously to memorize the interests of a user, so as to deliver advertising as relevant as possible to users.
What are the advantages of cookies?
A cookie contains information that links 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 or relevant advertising.
What are Cookies used for?
These files make possible the recognition of the user's terminal and the presentation of the content in a relevant manner, adapted to the user's preferences. Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support the efforts of dialust.ro to provide comfortable services to users. They are also used to compile aggregated anonymous statistics that help us understand how users use our webpage, allowing us to improve its structure and content, excluding the personal identification of the user.
What cookies do we use?
We use two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. The latter are temporary files that remain in the user's terminal until the end of the session or the closing of the application (of the web browser).Persistent cookies remain on the user's terminal for the period specified in the cookie's parameters or until they are manually deleted by the user.
What is the lifetime of a cookie?
Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifetime of cookies can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are used exclusively for one 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.

Cookies for visitor analysis
Each time a user visits this site, third-party analytics software generates a user analysis cookie. This cookie establishes if you've visited this site before. The browser will establish if you have this cookie, and if not, we will generate one. It allows monitoring of unique users who visit the website and how often they do it.
As long as you are not registered on this site, this cookie cannot be used to identify individuals, they are only used for statistical purposes.
Cookies for geotargeting
These cookies are used by software that determines which country you come from. It is completely anonymous and is only used to target the content – even when you are on our page in Romanian or in another language you receive the same advertisement.
Advertising cookies;
These cookies allow us to find out whether or not you have viewed an online advertisement, what is its type and how long it has been since you have seen the advertising message.
These cookies are also used to target online advertising. We may also use third party cookies to better target advertising, for example to show holiday ads if the user has recently visited a holiday article on the website. These cookies are anonymous, they store information about the viewed content, not about the users.
We also set anonymous cookies through other sites that we advertise. By receiving them, we can use them to recognize you as a visitor to that site if you subsequently visit our site, we will be able to deliver you advertising based on this information.
Advertiser cookies.
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 ad, or to see how many people have been exposed several times to an ad.
The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies and this website does not have access to read or write these cookies. Third-party cookies can be used to show your targeted advertising on other websites, relying on your surfing on this site.
Other third-party cookies
On some pages, third parties may set their own anonymous cookies in order to track the success of an application or to customize an application. Due to the usage, this site can not access these cookies, just as third parties can not access the cookies owned by this site.
For example, when you share an article using the social media button on this site, that social network will record your activity.
What are third-party cookies?
Certain sections of content on some sites may be provided through third parties/suppliers (e.g. news box, a video or an advertisement). 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.
Do cookies contain personal data?
Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users. Personal data collected through the use of Cookies can only be collected to facilitate certain functionalities for the user. Such data are encrypted in a way that makes them impossible to be accessed by unauthorized persons.
Security and privacy issues
Cookies ARE NOT viruses!They use plain text formats. They are not made up of code parts so they can not be executed and cannot auto-run. Consequently, cookies are not viruses, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks in order to run or replicate again. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.
Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about user 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 anti-virus/anti-spyware deletion/scanning procedures.
In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, shelf life and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.
Other security aspects related to cookies:
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 they constantly transmit information in both directions between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes in the course of data transmission, 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 incorrect cookie settings on servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. The attackers then use the information for purposes of unauthorized access to certain sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method of protecting personal information.
Why are cookies important for Internet?
Cookies are the central point of efficient Internet operation, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience, tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Denying or disabling cookies can make certain sites unusable.
Denying or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising anymore, but only that your preferences and interests revealed by your browsing behavior will no longer be taken into account when you'll receive online ads.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require authentication of a user through an account):
Content and services adapted to the user's preferences e.g. categories of products and services.
Offers tailored to the interests of users
Retaining child protection filters on Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).
Limiting the frequency of ad serving e.g. limiting the number of impressions of an ad for a particular user on a site.
Providing more relevant advertising to the user.
Measurement, optimization and analytics features, e.g. 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. through search engines, directly from other websites, etc.). Websites carry out these analyses of their use to improve sites for the benefit of users.
How can I stop cookies?
Disabling and refusing to receive cookies can make some websites unfeasible or difficult to visit and use. Also, refusing to accept cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive/see online advertising.
It is possible to set the browser so that these cookies are no longer accepted or you can set your browser to accept cookies from a specific site. But, for example, if you are not registered using cookies, you will not be able to leave comments.
All modern browsers provide the option to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in options or the preferences menu of the browser you are using.

Tips for safe and responsible browsing based on cookies.
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 to access the most popular and widely used sites including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.
Here are some tips that can make sure you navigate without worries but with the help of cookies:
Customize your browser settings for cookies to reflect a comfortable level of cookie security for you.
If you do not mind cookies and you are the only person using your computer, you can set long expiration dates for storing your browsing history and personal access data.
If you share access to your computer, you can consider setting your browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is a way to access sites that place cookies and delete any visiting information at the end of the browsing session.
Install and constantly update your antispyware applications.
Many of the spyware detection and prevention applications include the detection of attacks on websites. This prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software.
Make sure that your browser is always updated.
A lot of the attacks based on cookies are done by taking advantage of weak points of old versions of browsers.
Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and largest websites 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 browse the internet with confidence.
