Legal Framework and Compliance
In accordance with European legislation on personal data processing and privacy protection—namely the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive—website operators, including our organization, are required to inform users and obtain consent when deploying cookies or similar technologies.
Cookies may only be used when users are provided with clear and transparent information about their purpose and are given real choices regarding their use. Users must have the ability to refuse the storage of cookies on their devices unless such cookies are strictly necessary.
1. Why Cookies Are Considered Personal Data
Cookies contain unique identifiers that enable the recognition of devices and tracking of user behaviour across sessions and websites. Even when users are not personally identified, these identifiers are sufficient for cookies to be treated as personal data under EU data protection law.
A common example is cross-site tracking, where third-party cookies monitor a user’s activity across multiple websites to build detailed profiles for personalized advertising. While this can enhance user experience, it also raises serious privacy concerns, which is why offering options to block or restrict such tracking is a legal obligation—not merely a courtesy.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file consisting of letters and numbers, placed on your computer or mobile device by a website when you visit it.
Cookies allow a website to remember your preferences and actions (such as login details, language settings, and visual customization) over a period of time. This eliminates the need for users to re-enter information when revisiting the website.
Each time a user visits the same website, the browser sends this cookie data back to the server, effectively acting like a digital identification card.
2. What Data Do Cookies Collect?
Tracking cookies can collect and share a wide range of personal data, including but not limited to: search and browsing history, language preferences, IP addresses, On-site behaviour (e.g., clicks, time spent on pages), purchase history, browser type and screen resolution, interaction with ads and external plugins.
The exact data collected varies based on cookie type and user consent.
For instance, advertisers use cookies to deliver ads tailored to a user’s behaviour. If a user frequently visits travel websites, cookies may trigger ads for vacation deals. Likewise, website owners use cookie data for analytics—to understand user behaviour, improve functionality, and optimize performance.
Websites may also use social media plugins that place cookies to customize content based on a user’s social media interactions.
The use of non-essential cookies (such as those used for analytics, marketing, or social media) requires explicit, informed, and specific user consent.
Users must actively opt-in, and consent should never be implied or collected via pre-checked boxes.
3. Types of Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies serve various purposes and are typically classified as follows:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies – Required for the basic operation of the website
- Performance Cookies – Gather data on how users interact with the website
- Functionality Cookies – Store user preferences and settings
- Targeting/Advertising Cookies – Track user activity for targeted advertising
- Social Media Cookies – Enable sharing and interaction via social media platforms
Session cookies are temporary and are deleted once the browser is closed.
Persistent cookies remain on the device for a predefined duration, helping websites remember user settings for future visits.
Cookies may be:
- First-party cookies – Set by the website you are visiting (e.g., www.artsys.ro)
- Third-party cookies – Set by other domains (e.g., advertising or analytics services)
Additionally, technologies like IP address tracking, web beacons, and pixel tags may be used to monitor ad effectiveness or gather aggregate data. For example, Artsys may use web beacons to measure the success of ads on other websites without accessing personal data.
