COOKIES
This policy refers to cookies and web pages operated by https://fere.shop
This website uses cookies to provide visitors with a much better browsing experience and services tailored to each person's needs and interests. In what we call "web 2.0", "cookies" play an important role in facilitating access and delivery of the multiple services that the user enjoys on the internet, such as:
personalizing certain settings, such as the language in which a site is viewed;
Cookies provide website owners with valuable feedback on how their websites are used by users, so they can make them even more efficient and accessible to users;
allow multimedia or other applications from other sites to be included in a particular site to create a more valuable, useful and enjoyable browsing experience;
improve the effectiveness of online advertising.
What is a cookie?
An Internet Cookie (also known as a browser cookie or HTTP cookie or simply cookie) is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, which will be stored on a user's computer, mobile terminal or other equipment from which the Internet is accessed.
The cookie is installed by 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).
A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and the content or value of the cookie. Furthermore, the duration of a cookie's existence is determined; technically, only the webserver that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that webserver.
Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.
There are 2 main categories of cookies:
Session cookies – these are temporarily stored in the web browser's cookie folder so that it remembers them until the user leaves the respective website or closes the browser window (e.g. 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 can be used anonymously to remember a user's interests so that advertising can be delivered to users in a more relevant way.
What are the advantages of cookies?
A cookie contains information that connects a web browser (the user) to a specific web server (the website). If a browser accesses that web server again, it can read the information already stored and react accordingly. Cookies ensure a pleasant browsing experience for users and support the efforts of many websites to provide convenient services to users: e.g. online privacy preferences, site language options or relevant advertising.
What are Cookies used for?
These files make it possible to recognize the user's terminal and present content in a relevant way, adapted to the user's preferences. Cookies ensure a pleasant browsing experience for users and support the efforts of https://iamiza.com/ to provide comfortable services to users. They are also used in the preparation of anonymous aggregate statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content, excluding the personal identification of the user.
What Cookies do we use?
We use two types of Cookies: session and persistent. The latter are temporary files that remain on the user's terminal until the session ends or the application (web browser) is closed. Persistent files remain on the user's terminal for a period of time specified in the Cookie parameters or until they are manually deleted by the user.
What is the lifespan of a cookie?
Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifespan of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are used exclusively for a single session (session cookies) and are no longer retained once the user has left the website and some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website (persistent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time through the browser settings.

Cookies for visitor analysis
Every time a user visits this site, third-party analytics software generates a user analysis cookie. This cookie tells us if you have visited this site before. Your browser will tell us if you have this cookie, and if not, we will generate one. This allows us to monitor the unique users who visit us and how often they do so.
This cookie cannot be used to identify individuals, they are used for statistical purposes only.
Geotargeting cookies
These cookies are used by software that determines which country you are from. It is completely anonymous and is only used to target content – even when you are on our page in Romanian or another language you receive the same advertisement.
Advertising cookies
These cookies allow us to find out whether or not you have viewed an online advertisement, what type it is and how much time has passed since you saw the advertisement.
We also use these cookies to target online advertising. We may also use third-party cookies to better target advertising, for example to show holiday ads if the user has recently visited an article on the site about holidays. These cookies are anonymous, they store information about the content viewed, not about users.
We also set anonymous cookies through other sites on which we advertise. By receiving them, we can use them to recognize you as a visitor to that site if you subsequently visit our site, and we can deliver advertising to you based on this information.
Advertising provider cookies
Much of the advertising you find on this site is from third parties. Some of these parties use their own anonymous cookies to analyze how many people have been exposed to an advertising message, or to see how many people have been exposed to the same advertisement multiple times.
The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies, and this site does not have access to read or write these cookies. Third-party cookies may be used to show you targeted advertising on other sites, based on your browsing on this site.
Other third-party cookies
On some pages, third parties may set their own anonymous cookies, in order to track the success of an application or to customize an application. Due to the way it is used, this site cannot access these cookies, just as third parties cannot access the cookies held by this site.
For example, when you share an article using a social media button on this site, that social network will record your activity.
What are third-party cookies?
Certain sections of content on some websites may be provided by third parties/providers (e.g. news box, video or advertisement). These third parties may also place cookies through the website and they are called third party cookies because they are not placed by the website owner. Third party providers must also comply with applicable law and the privacy policies of the website owner.
Do Cookies contain personal data?
Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users. Personal data collected through the use of Cookies may be collected only to facilitate certain functionalities for the user. Such data is encrypted in a way that makes it impossible for unauthorized persons to access them.
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 or self-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate themselves again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.
Cookies can, however, be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about users' preferences and browsing history, both on a particular site and across multiple sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and consistently mark cookies for deletion as part of their anti-virus/anti-spyware removal/scanning procedures.
Generally, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.
Other security aspects related to cookies:
Because identity protection is very valuable and represents the right of every internet user, it is advisable to know what possible problems cookies can create. Because through them, information is constantly transmitted in both directions between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes in the data transmission process, 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 (e.g. an unsecured WiFi network).
Other cookie-based attacks involve misconfiguring cookies on servers. If a website does not require browsers to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information over unsecured channels. Attackers can then use the information to gain unauthorized access to certain sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method for protecting your personal information.
Why are cookies important to the Internet?
Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience tailored to each user's preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some sites impossible to use.
Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising, but only that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, as evidenced by your browsing behavior.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to authenticate through an account):
Content and services tailored to user preferences, e.g. product and service categories.
Offers tailored to users' interests
Retention of child protection filters regarding Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).
Limiting the frequency of advertising, e.g. limiting the number of times an ad is displayed to a specific user on a site.
Providing more relevant advertising to the user.
Measurement, optimization and analytics features e.g. 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. via search engines, directly, from other websites etc.). Websites conduct these analyses of their usage in order to improve the sites for the benefit of users.
How can I turn off cookies?
Disabling and refusing to accept cookies may make certain sites impractical or difficult to visit and use. Also, refusing to accept cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive/see online advertising.
It is possible to set your browser to no longer accept these cookies or you can set your browser to accept cookies from a specific site. But, for example, if you are not registered using cookies, you will not be able to leave comments.
All modern browsers offer the ability to change your cookie settings. These settings are usually found in your browser's options or preferences menu.

Tips for safe and responsible browsing, based on cookies.
Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest websites use cookies, they are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user to access the most widespread and used websites including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.
Here are some tips that can ensure you browse without worries but with the help of cookies:
Customize your browser settings regarding cookies to reflect a comfortable level of cookie security for you.
If you don't mind cookies and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration times for storing browsing history and personal access data.
If you share access to your computer, you may want to consider setting your browser to clear individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is one way to access sites that place cookies and delete any browsing information when you close your browsing session.
Install and constantly update your antispyware applications.
Many spyware detection and prevention applications include website attack detection, which prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download malicious software.
Make sure your browser is always updated.
Many cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting weaknesses in old browser versions.
Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and biggest sites on the Internet, local or international. With a clear understanding of how they operate and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can browse the Internet with confidence.
