1. Cookie Usage Policy

This policy refers to the cookies and web pages operated by S.C. SATOA KITCHENS S.R.L., with its registered office in Bucharest, BUCURESTI, Sos. Fundeni 44 TR., Romania, hereinafter referred to as Atosa.

2. What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that will be stored on a user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment from which the internet is accessed. The cookie is installed by a web server’s request to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (it does not contain software, viruses, or spyware and cannot access information from the user’s hard drive).

3. What are Cookies used for?

These files make it possible to recognize the user’s device and present content in a relevant way, adapted to the user’s preferences. Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support Atosa’s efforts to offer comfortable services to users, such as: online privacy preferences, shopping cart, or relevant advertising. They are also used to compile anonymous aggregated statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content without personally identifying the user.

4. What Cookies do we use?

We use two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary files that remain on the user’s device until the session ends or the application (browser) is closed. Persistent cookies remain on the user’s device for a period defined by the cookie’s parameters or until manually deleted by the user.

5. How are cookies used by this site?

A visit to this site may place cookies for the following purposes:
  • Site performance cookies
  • Visitor analytics cookies
  • Registration cookies
  • Advertising cookies
  • Advertising provider cookies

6. Do Cookies contain personal data?

Cookies themselves do not require personal information in order to function and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users. Personal data collected through cookies may be collected only to facilitate certain functionalities for the user. Such data is encrypted in a way that prevents unauthorized persons from accessing it.

7. Deleting Cookies

In general, applications used to access web pages allow cookies to be saved on the device by default. These settings can be changed so that automatic cookie management is blocked by the browser, or the user is notified each time cookies are sent to their device. Detailed information about management options for cookies can be found in the settings area of the application (web browser). Limiting cookie usage may affect certain functionalities of the web page.

8. Why are cookies important for the Internet?

Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience tailored to each user’s preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies can make some websites unusable. Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising — only that it will no longer reflect your browsing preferences and interests. Examples of important uses of cookies (that do not require a user to log in through an account):
  • Content and services tailored to user preferences — product and service categories.
  • Offers tailored to user interests — remembering passwords.
  • Saving child protection filters regarding internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).
  • Limiting ad frequency — limiting the number of times a user sees an ad on a site.
  • Providing more relevant advertising to the user.
  • Measuring, optimizing, and analytics features — such as confirming a certain level of website traffic, viewing content types, and how a user reaches a website (e.g., via search engines, direct access, or other websites). Websites perform these analyses to improve the site for users.
