 Cookie Policy – fortem.ro

Last updated: 19.01.2026

This policy describes how the website uses cookies and similar technologies. Certain cookies are strictly necessary for the functioning of the site and cannot be disabled. Optional cookies (statistics and marketing) are used only after expressing your consent, through the consent banner and cookie settings available on the site.

1. Legal framework

The use of cookies and similar technologies is regulated by:

·                 (EU) Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), to the extent that personal data (e.g. online identifiers, IP addresses, advertising IDs) are processed through cookies.

·                 Regulations regarding the confidentiality of electronic communications. In Romania, the requirements regarding the storage/access of information on the user's equipment are usually dealt with by Law 506/2004, with applicable updates.

2. What is a cookie

A cookie is a small file, made up of letters and numbers, stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies help the website to function properly, to remember preferences and, if you agree, to analyze traffic and personalize marketing communications.

Cookies do not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access information stored on your device.

3. Types of cookies

Cookies can be:

·                 session (deleted when you close the browser);

·                 persistent (remain for a defined period or until you delete them);

·                 own (first-party), set by this website;

·                 third-party, set by providers whose services are integrated into the website.

4. What cookies we use and why

The website may use the following categories:

4.1 Strictly necessary cookies (mandatory)

They are necessary for the functioning of the site, security and prevention of abuse (e.g. protection against attacks, maintaining the session, functioning of forms). These cookies do not require consent, because without them the site cannot function properly.

4.2 Preference cookies (optional)

They remember options such as language or similar settings, if such functions are active on the site.

 

4.3 Statistical/analytical cookies (optional)

They help us understand how the site is used (pages visited, traffic sources, interactions), in order to improve performance and content.

4.4 Marketing cookies (optional)

They are used for campaign measurement and, where applicable, for remarketing (displaying advertisements to people who have visited certain pages), including on third-party platforms. These may involve profiling/segmentation at the audience level, depending on the configuration of the tools.

5. Consent and control

On your first visit, you will be shown a cookie banner where you can accept, refuse or customize your preferences by category. Optional cookies (statistical and marketing) will only be placed after you express your consent.

You can change your options at any time and withdraw your consent from the "Cookie Settings" section available on the site. Withdrawing consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out before withdrawal.

6. Third-party cookies

Certain functionalities may be provided by third parties (e.g. traffic measurement, remarketing, anti-abuse protection). In these cases, third parties may set their own cookies, in accordance with their privacy and cookie policies. The website controls the activation of these services through the consent settings, to the extent technically possible.

7. Transfers outside the EEA

Depending on the providers used and their configuration, it is possible that some data collected through cookies may be transferred to or accessed from outside the European Economic Area. In such cases, appropriate safeguards provided by law will apply (e.g. standard contractual clauses or other permitted mechanisms), depending on the provider and the actual settings.

8. Service duration

The duration varies depending on the type and purpose: session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed, and persistent cookies remain for a defined period (from days to months) or until you delete them. The exact durations and purposes of each cookie are presented in the table below and/or in "Cookie Settings" (if the site displays the list dynamically).

9. Browser control

You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the functioning of the site and may make certain sections unavailable.

10. List of cookies and tools used

The list below is a template that must be validated with the actual implementation on the site (Tag Manager / plugin / platforms). It is recommended that the published list be complete and up-to-date.
