Cookie POLICY
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small files that the browser downloads when you access the website europeanectopicassociation.com. The computer automatically recognizes and accepts these files through the browser you are using.
These files can be thought of as “bookmarks” that indicate where you left off the last time you visited the website. They can also be seen as identifiers that notify the website each time you return to europeanectopicassociation.com.
Cookies are not harmful. The computer stores them in memory, but they cannot access or read any information stored on the computer. You can extend or limit the use of cookies through the settings in the browser you use to browse the Internet.
WHAT ARE THEY USED FOR?
Cookies improve loading speed and the browsing experience. For example, they remember your preferences when browsing a website, such as the language in which you want the content to be displayed.
These files are also used to prepare anonymous statistics that help us understand how visitors generally interact with the pages of pimtab.ro. For analysis, the website uses the Google Analytics service, which uses cookies. In this case, the files save information about website usage, the number of pages displayed, the sources from which visitors come, and the number of visits. The goal is to improve the website so that it offers better services and experiences to visitors.
Cookies do not require personal information to be used, and in most cases, they do not identify the individual internet user.
HOW LONG ARE THEY STORED?
The duration of cookie storage varies depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Session cookies are used for a single browsing session, are only retained during the visit, and are not stored after the user leaves the website. Permanent cookies are used when the user returns to the website.
You can delete all categories of cookies at any time through the settings in the browser you use for browsing.

VISITOR ANALYSIS COOKIES
Each time a user visits this site, the analytics software provided by a third party generates an analysis cookie for the user. This cookie tells us if you have visited the site before. The browser will inform us if you have this cookie, and if not, we will generate one. It allows the monitoring of unique users who visit us and how often they do so.
As long as you are not registered on this site, this cookie cannot be used to identify individuals; they are only used for statistical purposes.
ADVERTISING COOKIES
These cookies allow us to determine if you have seen an online advertisement, what type it was, and how much time has passed since you viewed the ad.
We also use these cookies for online advertising targeting. We may also use cookies from third parties for better ad placement, for example, to show vacation ads if the user has recently visited an article about vacations on the site. These cookies are anonymous and store information about the content viewed, not about the users.
We also set anonymous cookies through other sites where we have ads. By receiving them, we can use them to recognize you as a visitor of that site, and if you later visit our site, we can deliver advertising based on this information.
ADVERTISING PROVIDER COOKIES
You may find advertisements on this site belonging to third parties. Some of these parties use their own anonymous cookies to analyze how many people were exposed to an advertisement or to see how many people were exposed to the same ad multiple times.
Companies generating these cookies have their own privacy policies, and this site does not have access to read or write these cookies.
OTHER THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
On some pages, third parties may set their own anonymous cookies to track the success of an application or to personalize an app. Due to how they are used, this site cannot access these cookies, just as third parties cannot access the cookies owned by this site.
For example, when you share an article using a social media button on this site, that social network will record your activity.
