Cookie policy
Effective Date: December 10, 2024
Our cookie policy presents the types of cookies and other similar tracking technologies that we and our partners use when you visit or use the website www.unicredit.ro (the "Site").
Our cookie modules policy is part of the Information notice on personal data processing.
A cookie is a small file (often text type) stored on your computer or device once you visit the UniCredit Bank website. Cookies are installed through a browser-based browser (like Internet Explorer, Chrome) and are completely "passive" (do not include software, viruses or spyware, and can not access information on the user's hard disk ).
A cookie consists of two parts: the name and the content or the value of a cookie. The duration of a cookie is technically determined by the webserver that sent the cookie, which can access it again when the user returns to the website that is associated with that webserver.
Cookies are considered the standard for most current browsers and are widely used to make it possible to provide online services and increase their efficiency, as well as to provide information to your service providers about your experiences while browsing the site. When you re-use these online services, your browser sends previously stored cookies to the online service. In this way, the online service will recognize and remember important information about you that helps you personalize and facilitate the experience you provide, for example, keeping your saved preferences.
We and our partners use other technologies, including data stored on your web browser or device, identifiers associated with your device and other software applications for similar purposes
These include the following:
- Pixel tags: "Pixel tags" (also called web beacons or pixels) are small code files installed on (or required by) a web page, email address, application, or ad that collects certain device information and your browser and how you interact with them. This information includes, for example, the type of device, operating system, browser type and version, visited website, visit time, redirected website, IP address, if you opened an email or clicked on an ad and other similar information, including the small text file (cookie) that identifies the device. Through pixel tags, certain third-party companies can set and read cookies from a domain that they do not operate, and can collect information about the visitors of that domain, usually with the permission of the domain owner.
- Local storage: This generally refers to other places in a browser or device where information can be stored by websites, advertisements or third-party companies (for example, local storage and HTML5 browser cache) .
- Device identifiers: Device Identifiers: We may also collect your IP address, the unique device identifier or create a unique device fingerprint (this is a unique combination of various information on the device so that we can identify it), in order to identify your device. Then we may use this information in a similar way to cookies.
- Audit ID: The audit ID is a unique random number that is generated for you when you visit this site. The purpose of the audit ID is to keep a record of your consent history regarding which cookies you have accepted and when. The audit ID includes: the time stamp, the version of the cookie provider list and the list of providers that are allowed to process your data.
In this policy, we refer to all of these technologies and other similar ones as "cookies". These technologies can be used to recognize when your device performs operations. For example, they can recognize when you visit pages on our website or other websites, use parts of an application or open emails we send you or links in technologies.
We and our partners use cookie modules to automatically record some information about how you use the site and navigate within it. This helps us, in particular, to identify you, to analyze and improve your browsing experience, to personalize the content and features, as well as to customize and measure the advertisements that we make available to you.
Although the cookie modules used by the website change from time to time, as we improve and update the website, they generally fall into the usage categories below:
a) Necessary Cookies
These cookie modules are essential for the provision of services specifically requested by website visitors. Without them, the internet pages cannot function and cannot provide the requested services. These cookies are necessary to enable basic site functions, such as providing secure authentication or adjusting your consent options. These cookies do not store personal data.
User consent is NOT required to save these cookies in the device.
