Cookie Policy
1. General Information
This policy informs you about the cookies implemented on www.myhotelapartemts.ro (“the Site”), belonging to My Hotel Apartments, with registered office in Bucharest, Constantin Dobrogeanu Gherea Street 64, Sector 1, registered with the Trade Register Office attached to the Bucharest Court under no. J40/4009/2011, fiscal registration code RO 28288680.
The information presented below aims to inform the user of more details about the placement, use and management of cookies used by the Site.

2. What are cookies and why are they used?
The purpose of using cookies is to understand how users use this website and help us adapt the content of the website to your needs.
Cookies are text fragments placed by the sites you visit on your computer, mobile terminal or other equipment from which you access the Internet. In order to function properly, most websites require the collection of some basic information from users.
This automatic data storage technology is very widespread and is used to collect information such as: browser type and operating system, source page, domain name from which the visitor connected to the site.
The cookie is installed by the request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (it does not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user’s hard drive).
Cookies themselves do not require personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users.
Cookies play an important role in facilitating access to and delivery of the multiple services that the user enjoys on the Internet, such as:
optimal functioning of websites;
monitoring the performance of websites;
improving the efficiency of online advertising;
recording the number of simultaneous users;
analyzing visitors and their behavior;
personalizing certain settings such as: the language in which a site is viewed, accessing old preferences by accessing the ''forward'' and ''back'' buttons.
Cookies are the central point of the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience adapted to the preferences and interests of each user.
A cookie contains information that connects 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.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to authenticate through an account):
Content and services adapted to user preferences - categories of news, weather, sports, maps, public and government services, entertainment sites and travel services;
Offers adapted to user interests - remembering passwords, language preferences (for example: displaying search results in Romanian);
Retention of child protection filters regarding Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions);
Measurement, optimization and analysis features – 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). Websites perform these analyses of their use in order to improve the sites for the benefit of users.

3. What types of cookies are there?
There are 2 main categories of cookies:
Session cookies – these are temporarily stored in the cookies folder of the web browser so that it remembers them until the user leaves the respective website or closes the browser window (for example: when logging in/out of a webmail account or on social networks);
Persistent cookies – these are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device (and generally depend on the cookie’s default lifespan). Persistent cookies also 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 remember a user’s interests so that advertising can be delivered more relevant to users. Third-party providers must also comply with applicable law and the privacy policies of the website owner.

5. Security and privacy issues
Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code, so they cannot be executed, nor can they self-execute. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.
Cookies can, however, be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about the preferences and browsing history of users, both on a particular site and on other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and constantly mark cookies for deletion as part of their anti-virus/anti-spyware removal/scanning procedures.
Generally, browsers have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.
Tips for safe and responsible browsing based on cookies:
Customize your browser settings regarding cookies to reflect the level of security you want;
Install and constantly update anti-spyware applications;
You may consider setting your browser to delete browsing data each time you close your browser.

6. How can I stop cookies?
Most browsers are set to accept cookies. However, if you do not want this, you can reset your browser to either notify you whenever you receive a cookie or to refuse to accept cookies. In the case of our Site, you have the option to change your cookie settings using the cookie bar. However, some sections of our Site will not be able to be viewed normally if you have set your browser to reject cookies.
You should also remember that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information in an online communication environment, in an e-mail program, in an FTP program or in messaging services, the information you disclose can be easily collected and used by unauthorized persons.
