This Cookie Policy applies to all users of the valdo-invest.ro website. The following information is intended to inform users of this website about the placement, use, and administration of cookies by Valdo Invest srl in the context of users navigating this website.

2. What are Cookies?

We use the term "cookies" to refer to cookies and similar technologies through which information can be collected automatically.
An "Internet Cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie") is a small file made up of letters and numbers that will be stored on a user's computer, mobile device, or other equipment through which the internet is accessed.
Cookies are installed through a web server request to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). Once installed, cookies have a set lifespan, remaining "passive" in that they do not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and will not access information on the user's hard drive whose equipment they were installed on.
A cookie consists of two parts:
the name of the cookie; and
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 web page associated with that web server.

3. What are Cookies Used for on this Website?

4. What is the Lifespan of Cookies?

• Session cookies – A "session cookie" is a cookie that is automatically deleted 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 specific expiration date (which can be minutes, days, or years in the future) or until deleted by the user at any time through their browser settings.
