You’ve come to this page because you seem to want to know more about the cookie message you’ve seen on our website and we are compelled to comply with EU Directive 2009/136 / EC – Article 5 (3) to show it to all visitors.
The cookie policy is intended to explain what these are, what they are used for, but also to provide guidance on how to refuse or delete the cookies generated by this site if you so wish.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone when you visit a website. By generating them, the website will remember your visits and how you used it every time you come back here. The cookie is completely “passive” in the sense that it does not contain software and can not in any way access the information stored on the user’s hard dive.
The cookies on the felix-thomas.ro website do not retain personal information because you do not have to sign in with your user / password and do not have to provide us with all available information (text, photos or videos) personal information.
Third party cookies
The felix-thomas.ro website uses third-party cookies (Google Adsense, Google Analytics, Facebook, Google+, Twitter, etc.) to customize the content and ads shown, to provide social media features, and to analyze traffic generated by the website.
The advertising you find on this website belongs to third parties. Some of these parties use their own anonymous cookies to analyze how many people have viewed an ad, or to see how many people have watched the same ad multiple times. The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies, and the felix-thomas.ro website does not have access to read or write those cookies.
For example, when you share an article using the social network buttons (facebook, google + or twitter) available on this site, those social networks will record your activity each time.
