CookieHow danielarobu.com uses cookies, and how you control them

Effective date: June 2026 · EU GDPR & ePrivacy — consent (opt-in) before non-essential cookies

This Cookie Policy applies to all users of this website and informs you about the placement, use and administration of cookies while you navigate danielarobu.com. It complements the Privacy Policy.

01What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers stored on your device when you visit a website, installed via a web-server request to your browser. Once installed, cookies remain “passive” — they contain no software, viruses or spyware and do not access your hard drive. A cookie has two parts: its name and its value. Only the web server that sent a cookie can read it again when you return to the associated page.

02Why we use cookies

Cookies are used to provide a better browsing experience and services tailored to each user, including: improving use of the website and identifying errors; providing anonymous statistics on how the website is used; and remembering certain settings/preferences (such as the language a page is viewed in).

03Cookies on this site

This site ships consent-gated: only essential cookies run before you choose. Analytics cookies are set only after you give consent. This site uses no marketing or advertising cookies.

04Cookie lifetime & types

A session cookie is deleted automatically when you close your browser; a permanent cookie remains until its expiry date or until you delete it. Categories that may be placed include: essential (core functionality and security — cannot be disabled), functional (remember your choices), and analytics (understand how visitors interact with the site — can be disabled at any time).

05Third-party cookies

Some content may be provided through third parties. Third-party cookie providers must comply with the data-protection and privacy rules applicable to the site owner. On this site, the only third party that may set cookies is Google Analytics, and only after consent. Analytics data may be transferred to servers outside the EU (e.g. the USA), where the level of data protection may not match that of the EU; see Google’s Privacy Policy.
