Introduction
This cookie policy applies to all users of the https://www.maruca.ro website. The following information is intended to inform users of this website about the placement, use and management of cookies by Maruca Atelier SRL in the context of users’ browsing on this website.
What are cookies?
We use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and similar technologies through which information can be collected automatically.
An “Internet cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie” or “cookie”) is a small file of letters and numbers that will be stored on a user’s computer, mobile device or other equipment through which the Internet is accessed.
Cookies are set by a request from a web-server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). Once installed, cookies have a fixed lifetime and remain “passive” in the sense that they do not contain software, viruses or spyware and will not access information on the hard drive of the user on whose equipment they are installed.
A cookie consists of two parts:
- the name of the cookie;
- the content or value of the cookie.
Technically, only the web-server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the web page associated with that web-server.
For what purposes are cookies used through this website?
Cookies are used to provide users of this website with a better browsing experience and services tailored to the needs and interests of each individual user, namely to:

- anticipating possible future goods that will be made available to users through this website, depending on the services/products accessed.

How long do cookies last?

- Session cookies – A “session cookie” is a cookie that is automatically deleted when the user closes their browser.
- Persistent or fixed cookies – A “persistent” or “fixed” cookie is a cookie that remains stored on the user’s terminal until it reaches a certain expiry date (which may be minutes, days or years in the future) or until it is deleted by the user at any time via the browser settings.
