Cookie Policy

This policy refers to cookies and web pages operated by www.baapp.md.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file, made up of letters and numbers, that will be stored on a user's computer, mobile terminal or other equipment from which the internet is accessed. The cookie is installed by the request issued by a web server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely "passive" (it does not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user's hard drive).

What are cookies used for?

These files make it possible to recognize the user's terminal and present content in a relevant way, adapted to the user's preferences. Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support Albina Food's efforts to provide comfortable services to users: e.g.: - online privacy preferences, shopping cart or relevant advertising. They are also used in the preparation of anonymous aggregate statistics that help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content, excluding the personal identification of the user.

What cookies do we use?

We use two types of cookies: session and persistent. The latter are temporary files that remain on the user's terminal until the end of the session or until the application (web browser) is closed. Persistent files remain on the user's terminal for a period specified in the Cookie parameters or until they are manually deleted by the user.

How are cookies used by this site?

A visit to this site may place cookies for the following purposes:

• Performance cookies for the site
• Visitor analysis cookies
• Geotargeting cookies
• Registration cookies
• Advertising cookies
• Advertising provider cookies

Do cookies contain personal data?

Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users. Personal data collected through the use of Cookies may be collected only to facilitate certain functionalities for the user. Such data is encrypted in a way that makes it impossible for unauthorized persons to access it.

Deleting cookies

In general, an application used to access web pages allows cookies to be saved on the terminal by default. These settings can be changed so that the automatic management of Cookies is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed each time Cookies are sent to his terminal. Detailed information about the possibilities and methods 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 web page.

Why are cookies important to the Internet?

Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to generate a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to each user's preferences and interests. Rejecting or disabling cookies may make some websites unusable.

Rejecting or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertisements – it only means that these advertisements will not be tailored to your preferences and interests, as revealed by your browsing behavior.

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

Content and services tailored to the user's preferences – categories of products and services.

Offers tailored to user interests – remembering your password.

Retaining child protection filters for online content (family mode options, safe search features).

Limiting the frequency of ads – limiting the number of times an ad is shown to a user on a website.

Delivering more relevant advertising to users.

Measurement, optimization, and analysis functions – such as confirming the traffic level on a website, what type of content is viewed, and how a user reaches a website (e.g., through search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.). Websites perform these usage analyses to improve the sites for the benefit of users.

Security and privacy issues

Cookies ARE NOT viruses! They use simple text formats. They are not made up of code fragments, so they cannot be executed or run automatically. As a result, they cannot be duplicated or replicated across other networks to run or replicate again. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.

Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Since they store information about users' preferences and browsing history, both on a specific website and across several other sites, cookies can be used as a form of spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this and constantly flag cookies to be deleted during anti-virus/anti-spyware scanning procedures.

In general, browsers have built-in privacy settings that offer various levels of cookie acceptance, expiration periods, and automatic deletion after the user visits a particular site.

Other security aspects related to cookies:
Since identity protection is very valuable and represents the right of every internet user, it is important to be aware of the potential problems cookies may cause. Because cookies constantly transmit information back and forth between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intercepts the data transmission, the information contained in the cookie could be intercepted.

Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (e.g., an unsecured Wi-Fi network).

Other cookie-based attacks involve incorrect cookie settings on servers. If a website does not instruct the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can exploit this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information over unencrypted channels. Attackers then use this information to gain unauthorized access to certain websites. It is very important to be careful when choosing the most appropriate method for protecting personal information.

Tips for safe and responsible browsing based on cookies

Due to their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest websites use cookies, they are almost unavoidable. Disabling cookies will prevent users from accessing the most popular and widely used sites, including YouTube, Gmail, Yahoo, and others.

Here are some tips to ensure you browse safely with the help of cookies:
1.Customize your browser settings regarding cookies to reflect a comfortable level of cookie security for you.
2.If you don’t mind cookies and you’re the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration dates for storing your browsing history and personal access data.
3.If you share the computer with others, consider configuring the browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close the browser. This is an option for accessing websites that place cookies and deleting any visit-related information at the end of the browsing session.
4.Install and constantly update anti-spyware applications.
5.Many spyware detection and prevention applications include detection of attacks on websites. This prevents the browser from accessing websites that might exploit browser vulnerabilities or download dangerous software.
6.Make sure your browser is always up to date.
7.Many cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting vulnerabilities in older versions of browsers.

Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if you want to enjoy access to the best and biggest websites on the internet – whether local or international. With a clear understanding of how they work and the benefits they bring, you can take the necessary security measures to browse the web with confidence.

Disabling and refusing to accept cookies can make certain websites impractical or difficult to visit and use. Also, refusing to accept cookies does not mean you will no longer receive/view online ads.

You can set your browser so that these cookies are no longer accepted or you can set it to accept cookies from a specific site. However, for example, if you are not logged in using cookies, you won’t be able to leave comments.

All modern browsers offer the possibility to modify cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the "options" or "preferences" menu of your browser.
