The consent, initially defined in Article 4, is addressed throughout the GDPR text. In general, the GDPR sets much higher standards of consent compared to the Data Protection Directive.

Consent under the GDPR must be explicit and documented at the same time. Organizations are required to submit information on processing "in a concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear language" (Article 12). If data processing is based on consent, organizations will need explicit consent from individuals - and must be able to prove that individuals have given their consent (Article 7).

When organizations collect personal data, they are required to submit certain information in accordance with Article 13.

Rights of the data subject

Articles 12-23 present the individual rights covered by the GDPR. In general, the GDPR extends individual rights regarding personal data.

Right of access

Covered by Article 15, the right of access is the right of individuals to request information about how their data is used, as well as a copy of the data itself.

Data processing

The GDPR specifies a number of requirements regarding the processing of personal data. This section will analyze some of the data processing requirements and provide links to the relevant sections of the GDPR text.

Operators and processors (Operator authorized person)

An operator is the organization that determines how personal data will be used. A processor is the organization that processes personal data on behalf of and based on the operator's instructions. The specific responsibilities of each party are set out in Articles 24-43.

There are cases when an organization can be both a processor and an operator.

Data processing agreements

Article 28 stipulates that operators must have similar contracts with processors, a contract setting out the object and duration of the processing, the nature and purpose of the processing, the type of personal data and the categories of data subjects and the obligations and rights of the controller. These contracts must be "in writing, including in electronic form". The requirements for processing contracts can be found in the rest of Article 28.

They are also used in the preparation of aggregate anonymous statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content, excluding the user's personal identification.

3. What Cookies Do We Use?
We use two types of cookies: per session and fixed. The latter are temporary files that remain in the user's terminal until the end of the session or the closure of the application (web browser). The fixed files remain on the user's terminal for a period in the parameters of the cookie or until they are manually deleted by the user.

A visit to this site may place cookies for purposes of:

  • Site performance cookies
  • Visitor analysis cookies
  • Cookies for geotargetting
  • Recording cookies
  • Cookies for advertising
  • Advertiser cookies

5. Does Personal Data Cookies Work?

The cookies themselves do not ask for 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 it impossible for unauthorized persons to access it.

6. Delete cookies
In general, an application used to access web pages allows you to save your Cookies to 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 whenever cookies are sent to his or her terminal. Detailed information about the possibilities and ways of managing cookies can be found in the application settings area (the web browser). Restricting the use of Cookies may affect certain features of the web page.

7. Why are Internet Cookies Important?
Cookies are the central focus of the efficient Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience and tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Denying or disabling cookies can make some sites unusable.
Denying or disabling cookies does not mean you will not receive online advertising anymore - but that it will no longer be able to keep track of your preferences and interests highlighted by your browsing behavior.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require authentication of a user through an account):

  • Content and services tailored to user preferences - product categories and services.
  • Offers tailored to users' interests - retaining passwords.
  • Retrieve Child Protection Filters for Content on the Internet (family mode options, safe search functions).
  • Limit ad serving frequency - limit the number of impressions of an ad for a particular user on a site.
  • Provide more relevant advertising for 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 (eg through search engines, directly from other websites etc.). Websites run these analyzes of their use to improve sites for the benefit of users.

8. Security and privacy issues

Cookies are NOT Viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code so they can not be executed or can auto-run. Consequently, they can not duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate again. Because they can not perform these functions, they can not be considered viruses.
Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Because it stores information about user 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 and consistently mark cookies to be deleted in anti-virus / anti-spyware removal / scanning procedures.

In general, browsers have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, shelf life, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.
Other security issues related to cookies:
Since identity protection is very valuable and is the right of every internet user, it is advisable to know what issues can create cookies. In order to transmit constant information in both ways between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes during the data transmission, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted.
Although very rarely, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (eg an unsecured WiFi network).

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

Tips for safe and responsible cookie-based navigation.
Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited sites and the biggest ones use cookies, they are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user to access the most popular and used sites including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.
Here are a few tips that can help you navigate safely with cookies:

  • Customize your browser settings for cookies to reflect a comfortable level for your cookie security.
  • If you do not mind cookies and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long deadlines for storing your browsing history and personal access data.
  • If you share your computer access, you can consider the browser setting to delete your individual browsing data each time you close your browser. This is a way to access sites that place cookies and delete any business information when you close the browsing session.
  • Install and constantly update your antispyware applications.

Many of the applications for detection and prevention of spyware include the detection of attacks on sites. This prevents the browser from accessing websites that could exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software.
Make sure your browser is always up-to-date.
Many of the cookies attacks are exploited by exploiting the weaknesses of the old versions of browsers.

Cookies are everywhere and can not be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and largest websites on the Internet - local or international. With a clear understanding of how they work and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures so you can browse with confidence on the internet.
Disabling and refusing to receive cookies can make some sites unfeasible or difficult to visit and use. Also, refusing to accept cookies does not mean you will not get / see online advertising anymore.
It is possible to set up the browser so that these cookies are no longer supported or you can set the browser to accept cookies from a particular 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 your browser's "options" or "preferences" menu.
