Cookies Policy

Last update 2 January 2023

This Cookie Policy explains how Laura Vlaicu ("Company", "I", "we", "us" and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://lauravlaicu.com ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control their use by us.

In some cases, we may use cookies to collect personal information or information that becomes personal information when combined with other information.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Laura Vlaicu) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third party cookies enable the delivery of third party features or functionality on or through the website (e.g. advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies may recognize your computer both when it visits that website and when it visits certain other websites.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first and third party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons for our website to function, and we call them "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also allow us to track and target the interests of our users to improve the experience on our online Properties. Third parties use cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

The cookie consent manager can be found in the notification banner and on our website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, although your access to certain features and areas of our website may be restricted. You can also set or change your web browser controls to accept or decline cookies.

The specific types of first-party and third-party cookies served through our website and the purposes they serve are described in the table below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the online properties you visit):

What about other tracking technologies such as web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website. We may also use other similar technologies from time to time, such as web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphic files that contain a unique identifier that allows us to recognize when someone has visited our website or opened an email that includes them. This allows us, for example, to track user traffic patterns from page to page within a website, deliver or communicate with cookies, understand whether you arrived at the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third party website, improve website performance, and measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many cases, these technologies depend on cookies to function properly, and therefore, refusing cookies will affect their operation.

Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?

Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention and for other website operations.

If you do not want Flash cookies to be stored on your computer, you can adjust your Flash player settings to block Flash cookies from being stored using the tools in the settings panel for on-site storage. You can also control Flash cookies by going to Global storage settings panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions explaining, for example, how to delete existing Flash cookies (referred to as "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without being prompted, and (for Flash Player 8 and later versions) how to block Flash cookies that are not delivered by the operator of the page you are currently on).

Please note that setting Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash cookies may reduce or prevent the functionality of some Flash applications, including potentially Flash applications used in connection with our services or our online content.

Do you offer targeted advertising?

Third parties may place cookies on your computer or mobile device to deliver advertising to you through our website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites to provide you with relevant advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you. They may also use technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They may do this through the use of cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide you with relevant advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you. The information collected through this process does not allow us or them to identify your name, contact details or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide them.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Therefore, please review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
