A possible deletion of these files could generate difficulties in navigating the website www.aplast.ro, limiting the possibilities of users to view the content.

These settings can be changed so that the automatic administration of cookies is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed every time cookies are sent to his terminal.

Detailed information about the possibilities and ways of managing cookies can be found in the settings area of the application (web browser). Limiting the use of cookies may affect certain functionalities of the website.

Cookies and / or similar technologies are a focal point of the efficient operation of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Declining or disabling cookies may make some sites or parts of sites impossible to use.

Disabling cookies does not mean that the user will no longer receive, in compliance with the law, online advertising – but only that it will no longer be able to take into account his preferences and interests, highlighted by browsing behavior.

Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to authenticate through an account):

• Content and services adapted to user preferences – categories of products and services.

• Offers adapted to users’ interests

• Limit the frequency of ad serving – Limit the number of impressions of an ad for a particular user on a site.

• Measuring, optimizing and adapting analysis 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 carry out these analyzes regarding their use to improve their services for the benefit of users.
