Cookie Policy

1. Cookie Usage Policy
This policy refers to cookies and web pages operated by BEST SELLS S.R.L. with its registered office at Strada Doicesti, no. 28, Room no. 3, Ilfov County, Voluntari City, identified by Tax ID (CUI) 50517721, J2024020677004, (hereinafter referred to as bestsells.ro).

2. What are Cookies?
A cookie is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, which will be stored on a user's computer/mobile terminal or other equipment used to access the internet. The cookie is installed by a request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.) and is completely "passive" (it does not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and cannot access information on the user's storage device).

3. 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 provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support bestsells.ro's efforts to provide comfortable services to users: e.g., online privacy preferences and the shopping cart. They are also used in the preparation of aggregated anonymous statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content, while excluding the personal identification of the user.

4. What Cookies do we use?
We use two types of Cookies: session and persistent. The former are temporary files that remain in the user's terminal until the end of the session or the closing of the application (web browser). Persistent files remain on the user's terminal for a period within the parameters of the Cookie (maximum 30 days) or until they are manually deleted by the user.

5. How are cookies used by this site?
A visit to our site may place cookies for the purposes of:

  • Site performance cookies
  • Visitor analysis cookies
  • Geotargeting cookies
  • Registration cookies
  • Advertising cookies
  • Advertising provider cookies

6. Do Cookies contain personal data?

Cookies themselves do not require personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users. Personal data collected through the use of Cookies can only be collected to facilitate certain functionalities for the user. Such data is encrypted in a way that makes unauthorized access to it impossible.

7. Deleting Cookies
In general, an application used to access web pages allows the saving of Cookies on the terminal by default. These settings can be changed in such a way that the automatic administration of Cookies is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed every time Cookies are sent to their terminal. Detailed information about the possibilities and ways of managing Cookies can be found in the settings area of the application (web browser). Limiting the use of Cookies may affect certain functionalities of the web page.

8. Why are cookies important for the Internet?
Cookies represent the focal point of the efficient functioning of the internet, helping to generate a browsing experience that is friendly and adapted to the preferences and interests of each user. 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 – only that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, as highlighted by your browsing behavior.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require the authentication of a user through an account):

  • Content and services adapted to user preferences – categories of products and services.
  • Offers adapted to user interests – remembering passwords.
  • Retention of child protection filters regarding Internet content ("family mode" options, "safe browsing" functions).
  • Limiting the frequency of ad delivery – limiting the number of times an ad is displayed for a particular user on a site.
  • Providing more relevant advertising to the user.
  • Measurement, optimization, and analytics 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, etc.). Websites run these analyses of their usage to improve the sites for the benefit of the users.

9. 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-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate themselves on other networks to run or replicate again. Because 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 on several 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 anti-virus/anti-spyware deletion/scanning procedures.

In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity periods, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a certain 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 potential 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 during the data transmission path, 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 / public WiFi network).

Other cookie-based attacks involve incorrect cookie settings on servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. Attackers then use the information for the purpose of gaining unauthorized access to certain sites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most appropriate method for protecting personal information.

Tips for safe and responsible browsing, based on cookies.
Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest sites use cookies, they are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user access to the most widespread and used sites, including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo, and others.
Here are some tips that can ensure you browse worry-free but with the help of cookies:

  • Customize your browser settings regarding cookies to reflect a comfort level for you regarding cookie security.
  • If you are not bothered by cookies and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration dates for storing your browsing history and personal access data.
  • If you share access to the computer, you can consider setting the browser to delete individual browsing data every time you close the browser. This is an option to access sites that place cookies and delete any visitor information upon closing the browsing session.
  • Install and constantly update your antispyware applications.

Many spyware detection and prevention applications include site attack detection. Thus, they prevent the browser from accessing websites that might exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software.
Ensure that your browser is always updated.
Many cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting the weaknesses of older browser versions.

Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and largest 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.
Disabling and refusing to receive 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 so that these cookies are no longer accepted, or you can set the 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 cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the "options" or "preferences" menu of your browser.
To understand these settings, the following links may be useful, otherwise you can use the browser's "help" option for more details.
