Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy applies to all users of the website http://georgianazahan.com.

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

1. What are cookies?

An "Internet Cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie," or simply "cookie") is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that is stored on the user's computer, mobile device, or other equipment used to access the internet.

Cookies are installed at the request of a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome).

Once installed, cookies have a determined lifespan, remaining "passive," meaning they do not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and cannot access information on the user's hard drive.

A cookie consists of two parts: the cookie's name and its content/value.

From a technical perspective, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the web page associated with that server.

2. What are cookies used for on this website?

Cookies are used to provide users of this website with a better browsing experience and services tailored to each user's needs and interests, as follows:

• Improving the use of this website, including by identifying any errors that occur during user visits;
• Providing anonymous statistics on how this website is used to the website owner;
• Anticipating possible products or services that may be offered to users in the future based on the services/products accessed.

Based on feedback provided through cookies about how this website is used, measures can be taken to make the website more efficient and accessible to users.

3. What is the lifespan of cookies?

The lifespan of cookies can vary depending on their purpose. The following categories of cookies determine their lifespan:
