Please read carefully the following information:
This site uses cookies as well as cookies added by third parties to provide visitors with a much better browsing experience and services tailored to the needs and interests of each.

What is a cookie?
A “Cookie Internet” (also known as “cookie browser” or “HTTP cookie” or simply “cookie”) is a small file of letters and numbers that will be stored on your computer, other equipment of a user accessing the Internet.
The cookie is sent through a request from the web server on which the site is hosted to the user’s browser (Ex: Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, etc.) and is completely “passive” in the sense that does not contain software, viruses or spyware, nor can it access the information on the user’s hard drive.
A cookie consists of two parts: the name and the content or the value of the cookie that is uniquely associated with the domain on which the site that hosted it was sent to the user’s browser (ex: duppimex.ro). Moreover, the duration of a cookie is determined and only the webserver that sent the cookie can access it again, and only when the user returns to the site associated with the respective webserver.
Cookies do not require personal information to be used and can not personally identify Internet users.
There are two main categories of cookies:
Session cookies – they are temporarily stored in the web browser’s cookie folder until the user leaves the site or closes the browser window.
Persistent cookies – these are stored in your computer or hard-ware for a longer period of time and are still stored after you leave the site or after you close your web browser (and generally depend on the default cookie lifetime).
Persistent cookies also include those placed on a site other than the one the user is currently visiting – known as “third party cookies” – which can be used anonymously to store the interests of a user so that advertising is delivered as relevant as possible to the user.
The advantages of cookies
A cookie contains information that links a browser (user) and a specific web-server (site). If a browser accesses that web-server again, it can read the already stored information and respond accordingly.
Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support the efforts of websites to provide comfortable user-friendly services. Examples – online privacy preferences, site language options, relevant advertising, etc.
The life of a cookie
Cookies are managed by web servers. A cookie’s life may vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are used only in one session (“session cookies”) and are not retained after the user leaves the site, and some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that site (” permanent cookies “).
However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time through browser settings.

The Importance of Cookies for the Internet
Cookies are the focus of the Internet’s efficient operation, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience, tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Denying or disabling cookies can make some websites unusable.
Denying or disabling cookies does not mean you will not receive online advertising anymore, but it will no longer be able to keep track of your preferences and interests highlighted by your browsing behavior.
Content and services tailored to user preferences – news, weather, sports, maps, public and government services, entertainment sites and travel services.
Offers tailored to the interests of users – password retention, language preferences (eg displaying search results in Romanian).
Retain child copy filters for content on the Internet (family mode options, safe search functions).
Limit ad serving frequency – limit the number of impressions of an ad for a particular user on a site.
Providing relevant advertising for the user.
Measurement, optimization, and analytics features – such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a site, what kind of content is viewed more, and how a user reaches the site (eg, search engines directly from other websites, etc.). Websites run these analyzes of their use to improve for the benefit of the user.
Security and confidentiality issues
Cookies are NOT Viruses! They use a plain text format. They are not made up of pieces of code, so they can not be executed and can not auto-run. Consequently, they can not duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate again. Since they can not perform these functions, they can not be considered viruses.
Cookies can nevertheless be used for negative purposes. Because it stores information about user preferences and browsing history, both on a particular website and on multiple websites, cookies can be used as a form of spyware. 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, shelf life, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a specific site.
Other security issues related to cookies
Since identity protection is very important and is the right of every Internet user, it is important to know what are the possible issues that may arise in connection with cookies. Because they transmit constant information in both directions between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person interferes with the data transmission, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted. Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (Ex: an unsecured Wi-Fi network). Other cookie-based attacks involve incorrect cookie settings on the servers.
If a website does not require the browser to use encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers to send information through insecure channels. Attackers then use the information to access unauthorized sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method of protecting personal information.
Tips for safe and responsible cookie-based navigation

If you share access to your computer, you can consider setting your browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close your browser, it is the option to access sites that place cookies and delete any visitor information when you close the session navigation.
Install and constantly update your anti spyware applications. Many of the applications for detecting and preventing spyware include detecting attacks on sites. This prevents your browser from accessing sites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software.
