Cookies policy on the websites owned by SC Bright Distribution SRL
This policy refers to the cookies and web pages operated by SC Bright Distribution SRL.
The Cookie is a small file, composed of letters and numbers, which will be stored on the computer, mobile device or other equipment of a user accessing the internet. The Cookie is installed through the request issued by a web server to a browser (ex: Internet Explorer, Chrome etc.) and it is completely "passive" (it does not contain any software, viruses or spyware, and it can't access the information on the user's hard drive).
These files make possible the recognition of the user's terminal and enable the website to present its content in a relevant manner, adapted to the user's preferences. Cookies ensure a pleasant navigation experience for the user and sustain the efforts of SC Bright Distribution SRL for offering comfortable services to its users: for example, privacy preferences, shopping basket or relevant advertising. They are also used in developing aggregate anonymous statistics which help us understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content, excluding the user's personal identification.
We use two types of cookies: per session and fixed. Session cookies are temporary files which remain in the user's terminal until the end of the session or until the app (web browser) is closed. Fixed cookies remain in the user's terminal for a period set in the cookie's parameters or until manually deleted by the user.
A visit on this website can place cookies for:
Cookies themselves do not require personal data in order to be used and, usually, they do not identify users personally on the internet. Personal data collected by using cookies can be collected only in order to facilitate certain features for the user. Such data is encrypted so that it makes it impossible for unauthorized persons to access it.
Generally, an app used for accessing web pages allows you to save cookies on a terminal by default. These settings can be changed so that automatic insertion of cookies is blocked by the web browser, or the user is informed each time cookies are sent to their terminal. Detailed information regarding the possibilities and methods for managing cookies can be found in the app's (web browser) settings section. Limiting the use of cookies can affect some of the web page's functionalities.
Cookies represent the central point of the Internet's efficient operation, helping generate a friendly surfing experience adapted to each user's preferences and interests. The refusal or deactivation of cookies could make certain sites impossible to use. The refusal or deactivation of cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising — but only that it will no longer take into account your preferences and interests, highlighted by your surfing behaviour.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require the authentication of a user through an account):
Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text type formats. They are not made up of pieces of code, so they can't be executed and they can't auto-run either. Therefore, they can't duplicate or replicate on other networks in order to run or replicate again. Since they can't fulfil these functions, they can't be considered viruses.
Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Since they store information regarding the preferences and navigation history of users, both on a certain site and on many other sites, cookies can be used as a type of spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and constantly mark cookies for deletion within deletion/scanning anti-virus/anti-spyware procedures.
Usually, browsers have integrated confidentiality settings which supply different cookie acceptance levels, period of validity and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.
Since the protection of identity is very valuable and represents the right of each internet user, it is worth knowing what problems cookies can create. Since they constantly send information in both directions, between the browser and the website, if an attacker or an unauthorized person intervenes in the data transmission process, the information contained by the cookie can be intercepted. Although very rare, this can also happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (ex: an unsecured WiFi network).
Other attacks based on cookies involve wrong cookie settings on servers. If a website does not require the browser to only use encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. Attackers then use the information in order to access certain websites without authorization. It is very important that you pay attention when choosing the most appropriate method of protecting your personal information.
Due to their flexibility and to the fact that some of the most visited and biggest websites use cookies, they are almost unavoidable. Deactivating cookies will deny the user access to some of the most used websites, such as YouTube, Gmail and others.
Here is some advice to help you navigate carefree with the help of cookies:
Several spyware detection and prevention apps include the detection of attacks on sites, preventing the browser from accessing websites that might exploit the browser's vulnerabilities or download dangerous software. Make sure that you always have your browser updated — many of the cookie-based attacks are performed by exploiting the weak points of old browser versions.
Cookies are everywhere and can't be avoided if you want to enjoy access to some of the best and largest sites on the Internet — local or international. With a better understanding of how they operate and the benefits they offer, you can take the necessary security measures so that you can navigate with confidence on the internet.
Deactivating and refusing to receive cookies can make certain sites impractical or difficult to visit and use. Also, refusing to accept cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive/see online advertising.
It is possible to make a setting in the browser so that cookies are no longer accepted, or you can set the browser to only accept cookies from a certain website. But, for example, if you are not registered using cookies, you will not be able to leave comments.
All modern browsers offer the possibility of changing cookie settings. These settings are usually found in "options" or in the "preferences" menu of the browser you are using.
