What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file sent by a server to a web browser and then sent back (unchanged) by the browser each time it accesses that server.
A cookie consists of 2 parts: name and content (value). The lifespan of a cookie is defined. Technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user revisits that website.
Cookies do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.
On www.fundatialotus.ro we use cookies to monitor and improve the efficiency of the website and online advertising campaigns.
The www.fundatialotus.ro website uses 2 categories of cookies:

Session Cookies
Persistent Cookies, both our own and third-party cookies.

Session Cookies
These are temporarily stored in the web browser’s cookie folder so that the browser remembers them until the user leaves the respective website or closes the browser window.

Persistent Cookies
These are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device (and generally depend on the preset lifespan of the cookie). Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one currently being visited by the user—known as ‘third-party cookies’—which can be used anonymously to memorize a user’s interests so that the most relevant advertising is delivered to them.

What are third-party cookies?
Certain content sections on some websites may be provided through third parties/providers (e.g., a video or an ad). These third parties can also place cookies through the site, and they are called “third-party cookies” because they are not placed by the owner of that website. Third-party providers must also comply with the legal regulations in force and the privacy policies of the website owner.

How cookies are used by this site
A visit to this site may place cookies for the purposes of:
Site performance cookies
Visitor analysis cookies
Geotargeting cookies

These cookies may come from the following third parties: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, AddToAny.com.
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. As mentioned above, some cookies are used exclusively for a single session (session cookies) and are no longer retained once the user leaves the website, while other cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website (‘permanent cookies’). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time through the browser settings.

Performance cookies:
This type of cookie retains the user’s preferences on this site, so there is no need to set them each time they visit the site.
Visitor analysis cookies:

Every time a user visits this site, the analytics software provided by a third party generates a user analysis cookie. This cookie tells us if you have visited this site before. The browser will tell us if you have this cookie, and if not, we will generate one. This allows the monitoring of unique users who visit us and how often they do.
Geotargeting cookies:

These cookies are used by software that determines which country you come from. It is completely anonymous and is only used to target content—even when you are on our Romanian or other language page, you receive the same advertisement.
What type of information is stored and accessed via cookies?
Cookies store information in a small text file that allows a website to recognize a browser. The web server will recognize the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted. The cookie stores important information that improves the Internet browsing experience.
Customize your browser settings regarding cookies
If you do not mind cookies and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration periods for storing browsing history and personal access data.
If you share computer access, you might consider setting the browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close the browser.

How can I stop cookies?
Disabling and refusing to receive cookies can make our site difficult to visit and use.
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, you can use the browser’s “help” option for more details.
