Cookie policy

Our website www.brd.ro can set and read cookies and other technologies when accessed and used by visitors.

The term "cookie" refers to technologies based on the principle of storing and accessing information about the terminal (e.g. PC, laptop, tablet, mobile phone) used by a visitor to a website.

Cookies are text files that contain small amounts of information consisting of letters and numbers, which will be stored on the user's device.

Cookies are installed by request from a web server to a browser (eg Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome) and are completely "passive" (does not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access on the user's hard drive).

Cookies contain information that links a user of the website to a webserver (website). If a user accesses that website again, the webserver will read previously stored information and recognize that user on the next visit.

Cookies are mainly used to help the user navigate the website efficiently, perform certain functions and allow the website to remember the actions or preferences of the user over time (this information which can then be used for various purposes such as analysis, statistics or online advertising activities).

There are several types of cookies, depending on different classification criteria, respectively:

  1. Depending on storage time : (i) session cookies (which expire immediately after the webpage visited is closed) or (ii) persistent cookies (which have a longer lifespan, they are retained and the stored information is reused each time the user returns to that website);
  2. Depending on their role : (i) strictly necessary cookies, (ii) functional cookies, (iii) performance and analysis cookies, and (iv) cookies targeting and advertising;
  3. Depending on their source : (i) first party cookies (placed by the Internet domain / website accessed by the user) and (ii) third party cookies (placed by an Internet domain / website other than the one accessed by the user - the accessed website also contains information from a third party website).

We use the following types of cookies:

Strictly needed cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our sites and to use some of the features, such as access to secure areas. Strictly necessary cookies allow you to browse the site and benefit from its features. Without these cookies, we will not be able to provide certain features, such as automatic redirects to the least busy server.  You can block or delete them by changing your browser settings, as described in "How do I control cookies?"

Performance and analysis cookies

These cookies are used to improve the performance and functionality of our sites, but are not essential to their operation.

The information provided by analytics cookies helps operators understand how site visitors use and then use this information to improve the way content is presented to users. However, without these cookies, certain features may become unavailable.

Functional cookies

These cookies improve the functionality of our sites.

Functional cookies record information about the choices users make and also allow us to customize the site to the user's requirements.

These can be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we've added to our pages (such as sharing pages on social networks). If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of the features may not work properly.

Targeting and advertising cookies

These cookies may provide the ability to monitor users' online activities and to establish user profiles, which can then be used for marketing purposes. For example, based on cookies, the products and services agreed by a user can be identified, this information being subsequently used to send appropriate advertising messages to that user. They also have functions such as preventing the same ad from being repeated continuously, ensuring that ads are displayed correctly and that ads are selected according to the user's interests. Without these cookies, we will not be able to provide ads that are relevant to you.

In general, data on internet browsing activity is collected and analyzed anonymously. If this analysis reveals a specific interest, a cookie is placed on the user's computer and this cookie determines what advertising the user will receive on a subsequent visit to the Internet, which is called interest-based advertising.

Interest-based advertising is a way to deliver ads to the websites you visit and make them more relevant to your interests. The common interests are grouped according to the previous browsing activity and users are served only advertising that matches their interests (determined based on the algorithms used by technologies that use cookies).

To better understand, below is an example of how these technologies work:

Imagine you went to our website looking for a banking product. The next time you browse online, when you go online (on another website) to read, for example, a news article, you will be delivered banking offers as an advertisement. If your browsing habits show that you are interested in a particular type of product (for example, if you searched for a credit product on both our site and other sites), you may receive advertisements for such products.

You will receive these advertising messages because our advertising partners and their advertising servers (such as Google, Facebook) use cookies (placed on the device you use to access our site) that collect information about your visits to our site as well as other sites. They analyze and determine if you have shown an increased interest in certain content (in this case a banking product), and then this information is used to provide you with advertising related to those interests.
