The security of your data is the most important for us, so we treat any aspect of your data protection seriously.

Starting from 25 May 2018, the EU regulation 679/2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46 / EC (General Data Protection Regulation) in short GDPR was implemented. This means that any operator / entity processing personal data must apply these new requirements and provide transparent information on how data is processed.

Taking into account the need to comply with the GDPR provisions and the fact that we are committed to taking care of your personal information (which may include name, surname, email address, etc. according to the purpose of the processing) which is stored in our data base, we hereby inform you, that this information is only used for the successful fulfilment of the processes in our relationship with you (such processes, while this enumeration is not exhaustive, are: booking / selling / ordering, transport and delivery, customer relationship) .

In order to improve your online browsing experience, we use cookies, that make it easier for visitors to use the website https://bgmpack.ro/. The full list of third party cookies can be found below.

1. WHAT IS A ”COOKIE”?

An “Internet Cookie” (also known as “cookie browser” or “HTTP cookie” or simply “cookie”) is a small file consisting of letters and numbers, that is stored on your computer, mobile terminal or other equipment used for accessing the internet. The cookie is installed by a request sent by a web server to a browser (e.g.: Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox) and it is completely “passive” (does not contain software, viruses or spyware, and cannot access information on the user’s hard drive).

A cookie consists of two parts: the name and the content or the cookie value. Moreover, the duration of a cookie is determined; technically, only the server that sent the cookie can access it again, when a user returns to the site associated with the respective web server.

Cookies play an important role in facilitating the access and delivery of the many services the user enjoys on the Internet, such as:

Customizing certain settings such as: the language in which a site is viewed, the currency in which certain prices or tariffs are expressed, the preservation of options for different products (quantity, other details, etc.).
Cookies provide site owners with valuable feedback on how their sites are used by visitors, so they can make them more efficient and accessible to users.
Allow multimedia or other applications, on other sites, to be included in a particular site, to create a more valuable, useful, and enjoyable browsing experience.

Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users. There are two large categories of cookies:

Session Cookies – these are stored temporarily in the web browser’s cookie folder, which saves them until the user exits the site or closes the browser window (for example, when logging on / logging into a webmail or social networking account).
Persistent Cookies – These are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device (and generally depend on the cookie’s predefined lifetime). Persistent cookies include those placed by a website other than the one the user is currently visiting – known as “third party cookies” (which may be used anonymously) to memorize a user’s interests, so that advertising is delivered as relevant as possible to users.

2. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF COOKIES?

Cookies are managed by web servers. The life span of a cookie may 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 while other 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, using the browser settings.

In general, the role of cookies is to ensure a quick and easy interaction between users and websites. Cookies are also used to allow users to easily resume their activities on their following visits to a previously visited site. Basically, cookies tell the server what pages are displayed to the user, without having to remember the pages they navigated or navigate throughout the site from the beginning.

3. WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?

In order to recognize all visitors to our website https://bgmpack.ro/.
To recognize past visitors.

To better understand the interests of our customers and site visitorshttps://bgmpack.ro/.

4. HOW ARE COOKIES USED ON THIS SITE?

Session cookies

Session cookies are stored in the user’s device during the navigation session. They store an anonymous session identifier, allowing the user to visit a website without having to enter the ID information (username, password, etc.) on each page.

Such cookies are commonly used in an online store. For instance, when the user visits a particular page and selects certain products, the cookie retains the selected products and adds them to the shopping cart that will contain all the products selected when the user wants to leave the page.

Session cookies are stored in the device memory only during an internet browsing session and are removed when the browser is closed. They can also become inaccessible if the session has been inactive for a certain period of time.

5. WHAT TYPE OF INFORMATION CAN BE STORED AND ACCESSED BY MEANS OF COOKIES?

Cookies store information in a small text file that allows a website to recognize a browser. The web server will recognize your browser until the cookie expires or is deleted. The cookie stores important information that enhances the Internet browsing experience (e.g., user session id, referral page, time-outs, etc.).

6. WHY ARE COOKIES IMPORTANT FOR THE INTERNET?

Cookies are the focal point of the Internet’s efficient operation, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Rejecting or disabling cookies can make some sites impossible to use. Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean you will not receive online advertising – it just means, that it will not be able to keep track of your preferences and interests, as highlighted by your browsing behaviour.

Some examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require authentication of a user through an account):

Content and services tailored to user preferences.
Offers tailored to users’ interests – language preferences (e.g., display of Romanian search results).
Provide more relevant advertising for the user.
Measurement, optimization and analytics features – such as confirming a certain volume of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed and how a user reaches a website (e.g. by means of search engines, directly from other websites etc.). Websites run these analyses of their usage, to improve sites for the benefit of users.

7. SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY PROBLEMS?

Cookies are NOT viruses! They use “plain text” formats. They are not made of strings of code, so they cannot be executed or run themselves. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks, to run or replicate again. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses. However, cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this and consistently mark cookies to be deleted in anti-virus / anti-spyware removal / scanning procedures.

In general, browsers have built in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, lifetime, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a specific site.

See the privacy policy.
