The information presented below is intended to inform users about the placement, use and management of cookies in the context of browsing this website.

We use the term "cookies" to refer to cookies and similar technologies through which data can be collected automatically.

- improving the use of this website, including by identifying any errors that occur while visiting/using it by users;

- providing anonymous statistics on how this website is used;

The www.snookerinfo.ro website uses cookies.

The information presented below is intended to inform the user of more details about the placement, use and management of cookies used by the snookerinfo.ro website. Also present are some useful links related to this topic.

2. What are cookies?

Our website uses cookie technology to offer you a better and personalized web service, so that it meets your needs. The data stored by the cookie files used on our website never show personal details that can be used to identify a person.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, laptop or mobile device) when you access certain websites.

Also, cookie files make your interaction with websites safer and faster, because they can remember your preferences (for example: authentication, language), sending the information they contain back to the original website (first -party cookie) or to another website to which they belong (third-party cookie), when you visit that website again using the same device.

3. Types of cookies

Session cookies - these are temporarily stored in the cookie file of the web browser so that it remembers them until the user leaves the site or closes the browser window (eg: when logging in/out on a webmail account or on social networks).

Persistent cookies - they are stored, depending on the predetermined lifetime, on the hard drive of a computer or equipment. Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one the user is visiting at the time. Known as "third party cookies" (cookies placed by third parties), they can be used anonymously to remember a user's interests, so that advertising is delivered as relevant as possible to the searches performed by users.

4. For what purpose are they used?

Cookies can be used for different purposes. First of all, cookies may be necessary to ensure the correct functioning of the website. For example, without cookies, it may be difficult for the website to remember that you are logged in or which products you have added to your shopping cart. These are called mandatory cookies.

Cookies can be used to analyze how a website is used, to count the number of visitors and to find out how the website can be improved. We do not associate website usage statistics and other reports with individuals. These cookies are called analytical cookies.

Third, we use social media cookies to enable social media integration on the website and enable you to immediately like or share a page or product on your favorite social media service.

A fourth important reason we use cookies is to enable online advertising, which can be customized to display more relevant and interesting advertisements to you, both on and off our site. We do this through advertising (targeted) cookies.

For example, our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google") that contributes to analyzing the use of the website. For this purpose, Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer.

The information generated by cookies about how the website is used – standard internet usage log information (including your IP address) and information about visitor behavior in an anonymous form – is transmitted to Google or other search engines used by you and stored by them. Before it is transmitted to the search engine, your IP address is anonymized.

In accordance with its Privacy Shield certification, Google declares that it complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework. Google may transfer the information collected by Google Analytics to a third party when required by law or when that third party processes the information on Google's behalf.

In accordance with the terms of use of Google Analytics, Google will not associate the users' IP address with any other data held by Google.

7. Web Security and User Privacy Issues

Cookies are NOT viruses and do not collect personal data.

However, Cookies can be used to the detriment of users, by Spyware programs. Because they store information about users' preferences and browsing history, Cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Anti-spyware applications are meant to mark cookies for deletion during anti-virus/anti-spyware scanning procedures.

Browsers have integrated privacy settings that offer different levels of cookie acceptance – such as the validity period and automatic deletion at the end of a web session.

8. Other security aspects related to Cookies

Because all Internet users have the right to the protection of their online identity, it is advisable to be informed about possible security risks. Given that through these files information is constantly exchanged between the browser and the website you visit, the information transmitted through Cookies can be intercepted by unauthorized persons or programs. For example, this is possible if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted/unsecured network – as is the case with certain Wi-Fi networks.

Other cookie-based attacks may be possible due to wrong settings of these files on the servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to gain access to information transmitted through Cookies. For these reasons it is essential that you pay close attention to the settings by which you protect your personal information available online.

9. Tips for secure web browsing based on Cookies

Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited sites use Cookies, they are almost unavoidable. Disabling Cookies will not allow you access to sites such as Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo, etc.

That's why we offer you some tips to ensure a safe web browsing, by means of Cookies:

Customize your browser settings regarding Cookies.

If you are the only user of the terminal, you can set expiration dates for extended Cookies.

If you are not the only user of the terminal, consider deleting individual browsing data every time you close the browser.

Install antispyware applications and update them regularly.

Make sure that the browser used is always up-to-date, because many of the attacks based on Cookies are possible due to the weak points of the old versions of the browsers.

10. Links to other websites

On the snookerinfo.ro website there are links to other third party websites that are not under our control. When these links are accessed, users are subject to the policy of the respective website. We recommend that you read the terms of use and privacy policies of all third-party websites before using them or submitting personal data or any other information to or through those websites.

11. Modification of Cookie Policy

Every time we change the cookie policy, you will be informed by publishing the new version on the www.snookerinfo.ro website.

The new version will enter into force on the date of online publication.
