In Brief

The SmartNest website uses its own cookies as well as cookies placed by third parties.

These provide valuable feedback on how the site is used by visitors, allow us to include content from other sites, and enable us to monitor and improve the efficiency of the website as well as online advertising campaigns.

The use of cookies on this site is not strictly necessary; however, some features or content may not be available if you do not allow cookies to be used.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file sent by a server to a web browser, which is then sent back (unchanged) by the browser every time it accesses that server.

The SmartNest site uses 2 categories of cookies:

  • Session Cookies
  • Persistent Cookies, both first-party and third-party cookies.

These are temporarily stored in the browser's cookie folder so that the browser can remember them until the user leaves the website or closes the browser window.

 

Persistent Cookies

These are stored on a computer or device's hard drive (and generally depend on the predefined lifespan for the cookie). Persistent cookies include those placed by a website other than the one the user is visiting at that moment—known as ‘third-party cookies’—which can be used anonymously to remember a user’s interests so that more relevant advertising can be delivered to users.

 

What are third-party cookies?

Certain content sections on some websites may be provided through third parties/providers (e.g., a video or an advertisement). These third parties can also place cookies through the website, and these are called "third-party cookies" because they are not placed by the website owner. Third-party providers must also comply with applicable legal regulations and the privacy policies of the website owner.

 

How are cookies used on this site?

A visit to this site may place the following types of cookies:

  • Site performance cookies
  • Visitor analysis cookies
  • Geotargeting cookies

These cookies may come from the following third parties: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube

 

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 ("persistent cookies").

 

Performance Cookies

This type of cookie remembers the user's preferences on this site, so there is no need to set them every time the site is visited.

 

Visitor Analysis Cookies

Each 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. It allows us to monitor unique users who visit us and how often they do so.

 

Geotargeting Cookies

These cookies are used by software that determines the country you are from. It is completely anonymous and is used only to target content—so even when you're on our page in Romanian or another language, you will receive the same advertisement.

 

What kind of information is stored and accessed through cookies?

Cookies store information in a small text file, allowing 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 browsing experience on the internet.

 

Customize your browser settings regarding cookies

If you share access to your computer, you might consider setting your browser to delete individual browsing data every time you close the browser.

 

How can I stop cookies?

All modern browsers offer the ability to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the "options" or "preferences" menu of your browser.
