Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy applies to all users of the website www.hridaya-yoga.ro. The information below is intended to inform the users of this website about the placing, use and administration of cookies by Asociația de Meditație și Yoga in the context of users browsing this website.

2. What are cookies?

We use the term “cookies” to refer to cookie modules and to similar technologies through which information can be collected automatically.
An “Internet Cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie”, an “HTTP cookie” or simply a “cookie”) is a small file, made of letters and numbers, which is stored on the computer, mobile terminal or other equipment of a user through which the internet is accessed.
Cookies are installed at the request of a web server to a browser (for example Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). Once installed, cookies have a determined lifetime and remain “passive”, in the sense that they contain no software programs, viruses or spyware, and will not access the information on the hard drive of the user on whose equipment they were installed.
A cookie has two parts:

• the name of the cookie;
• the content or value of the cookie.

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.

3. The purposes for which cookies are used through this website:

Cookies are used in order to offer the users of this website a better browsing experience and services adapted to the needs and interests of each user, namely for:

• • improving the use of this website, including by identifying any errors that occur while users visit or use it;
  • providing anonymous statistics about how this website is used to its owner;
  • anticipating goods that may in future be made available to users through this website, depending on the services and products accessed.

Based on the feedback provided by cookies about how this website is used, hridaya-yoga.ro can take measures to make this website more efficient and more accessible for users.
The use of cookies also allows certain settings and preferences established by the users of this website to be remembered, such as:

• • easier access to the users’ account;
  • posting comments on the site

4. How long do cookies last?

The lifetime of cookies can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which they are placed. There are the following categories of cookies, which also determine their lifetime:

• • Session cookies – A “session cookie” is a cookie that is deleted automatically when the user closes their browser.
  • Persistent or fixed cookies – A “persistent” or “fixed” cookie is a cookie that remains stored on the user’s terminal until it reaches a certain expiry date (which may be in a few minutes, days or years) or until it is deleted by the user at any moment through the browser settings.

5. What are third-party cookies?

Certain sections of content on the website may be provided through third parties, that is, not by the site owner, in which case these cookies are called third-party cookies.
Third-party providers of cookies must also comply with the rules on data protection and with the Privacy Policy.
These cookies may come from the following third parties: Google Analytics, Facebook Login, Remarketing, zopim, globessl, pinterest, clicktale, facebook, plusone, google experiments, twitter, adwords, retargeting.

• • Website performance cookies;
  • User analysis cookies;
  • Geotargeting cookies;
  • Registration cookies;
  • Advertising cookies;
  • Cookies of advertising providers;

• Performance cookies

Through this type of cookie, the preferences of the user of this website are remembered, so that setting the preferences again on a later visit to the website is no longer necessary.

• User analysis cookies

These cookies tell us whether a particular user of the website has visited or used this website before. These cookies are used for statistical purposes only.

• Geotargeting cookies

These cookies are used by software that establishes the country of origin of the website user. The same advertisements will be received regardless of the language selected.

• Registration cookies

When you register on this site, cookies are generated that remember this action. The servers use these cookies to show us the account you are registered with. The use of these cookies also allows us to associate any comment posted on the website with the username of the account used. If the option “keep me registered” has not been selected, these cookies will be deleted automatically when the browsing session ends.

• Advertising cookies

These cookies make it possible to know whether a user has viewed an online advertisement, its type, and the time that has passed since that advertising message was viewed. Such cookies are therefore used for targeting online advertising. These cookies are anonymous: they store information about the content viewed, not about the users.

7. What type of information is stored and accessed through cookies?

Cookies keep information in a small text file that allows the browser to be recognized. This website recognizes the browser until the cookies expire or are deleted.

8. Adjusting the browser settings regarding cookies

If the use of cookies is not troublesome to you, and the computer or the technical equipment used for browsing this website is used only by you, long expiry dates may be set for storing the browsing history.
If the computer or the technical equipment used for browsing this website is used by several people, you may consider setting the browser to delete individual browsing data each time the browser is closed.

9. How can cookies be stopped?

Disabling and refusing to receive cookies can make this website difficult to visit, and may limit the ways in which it can be used.
Users can configure their browser to reject cookie files, or to accept cookies from a particular website.
All modern browsers offer the possibility of changing the cookie settings. As a rule, these settings can be found in the “options” section or in the “preferences” menu of your browser.
However, refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising — only that it will not be adapted to your preferences and interests as shown by your browsing behavior.
