• – Setting customisation, such as: website display language, currency of prices or rates, remembering the various product options (measurements, other details, etc.) in the shopping cart (and storing thereof), thus rendering "the shopping cart" flexible (accessing old preferences by pressing the "forward" and "backward" buttons)
• – Cookies offer website owners valuable feedback on how their websites are used by users, so that they can make them even more efficient and accessible to users.

An "Internet Cookie" (also known as "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie" or simply "cookie") is a small file, made of letters and numbers, that is stored on the user's computer, mobile terminal, or other piece of equipment used to access the Internet.
A Cookie is installed further to a request issued by a browser's webserver (e.g.: Internet Explorer, Chrome)
A cookie has 2 parts: name and cookie content or value. Moreover, a cookie's lifetime is definite; 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.
Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.
Some cookies are used exclusively for one single session (session cookies), and are no longer stored once the user has left the website; other Cookies are retained and reused every time the user returns to that website ("permanent cookies"). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time from the browser settings.
A visit to this website may place cookies for purposes of:
• – Website performance cookies
• – Visitor analysis cookies
• – Geotargetting cookies
• – Registration cookies
• – Advertising cookies
• – Advertiser cookies
Cookies are grouped as follows:
Necessary cookies:
The necessary cookies help make a website usable by activating the basic functions, such as page browsing and access to secured website areas. A website cannot function correctly without these cookies. Examples of cookies set by STELA POPESCU THEATRE:

• Number of products per page - it is used to store or change the number of products displayed on the page.
Statistics cookies

• Referral (ref) - it is used to store the add medium the user accessed this website from
• Analytics - it is used to measure the website traffic and to understand how users interact with the website

Cookies are the centrepiece of an efficient use of the Internet, and they help generate a user-friendly browsing experience that is tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Rejecting or disabling cookies may render some websites impossible to use.
Rejecting or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising, but only that this will no longer take into account your preferences and interests, as evidenced by your browsing behaviour.
Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code and, as such, they cannot be executed or do not auto-run. Consequently, they cannot be duplicated or replicated on other networks in order to run or further replicate. Because they cannot perform these functions, cookies cannot be qualified as viruses.
However, cookies can still be used for harmful purposes. Because they store information about the users' preferences and browsing history, both on a particular website and on several other websites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this and constantly mark cookies to be deleted during anti-virus/anti-spyware deleting/scanning procedures.
Due to their flexibility and the fact that the bulk of the most popular and largest websites use cookies, they are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user to access the most widely spread and used websites, including YouTube, Gmail, Yahoo and others. Here are some tips that can help you smoothly browse, but with the aid of cookies:
• – Customize your browser's cookie settings to reflect what you feel comfortable with in terms of a secure use of cookies.
• – If you are not bothered by cookies and are the only person using your computer, you can set long storage time for your browsing history and personal access data.
• – However, if you share your computer, you can consider setting your browser to delete the individual browsing data every time you close your browser. This is a way of accessing websites that place cookies, and of deleting any visit-related information when the browsing session is closed.
• – Install and constantly update your antispyware software.
Many of the spyware detection and prevention programs include website attack detection. Thus, they prevent the browser from accessing websites that could exploit the browser vulnerabilities, or download malicious software. Make sure your browser is always up-to-date. Many cookie-based attacks exploit the weaknesses of older browser versions.
Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and largest Internet websites - local or international. A clear understanding of how cookies work and what benefits they have helps you take the necessary security steps so that you can browse the Internet confidently.
Disabling and rejecting the cookies can render certain websites unworkable or difficult to visit and use. Also, your refusal to accept cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive/view online advertising.
You can set your browser not to accept these cookies any longer, or to accept cookies from a specific website only. However, for instance, if you are not logged in using cookies, you cannot leave any comments.
All modern browsers allow users to change their cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the "options" or "preferences" menu of your browser.
Security and Privacy Issues
Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code and, as such, they cannot be executed or do not auto-run. Consequently, they cannot be duplicated or replicated on other networks in order to run or further replicate. Because they cannot perform these functions, cookies cannot be qualified as viruses.

Many anti-spyware products are aware of this and constantly mark cookies to be deleted during anti-virus/anti-spyware deleting/scanning procedures.
In general, browsers have embedded privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity periods and automatic deletion after a user's visit to a given website.
Other security issues related to cookies:
Because identity protection is critical and is a right of every internet user, you are advised to be aware of the potential problems cookies can create. Since cookies are used for an on-going two-way transmission of information between the browser and the website, when an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes on such data transmission, the information contained in the cookie may be intercepted.
While very rare, this can happen when the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (e.g. an unsecured Wi-Fi network).
Other cookie-based attacks involve cookie missetting on servers. When a website does not ask the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can make use of this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information via unsecured channels. Attackers then use this information to gain unauthorized access to certain websites. It is critical that you pay attention when choosing the best protection for your personal information.
