Also, for identity, the information in this document applies to other online platforms that are operated by or on behalf of Xtra Expo S.R.L.
By using this site and other sites owned by Xtra Expo S.R.L., you agree to our use of cookies in accordance with this Policy on their use.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small files, consisting of letters and numbers, that will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal or other equipment of a user from whom the Internet is accessed.
Cookies are installed by request issued by a web server, a browser (eg Internet Explorer, Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari).
Cookies are completely “passive” (they do not contain software, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the user’s hard driver).
A cookie consists of 2 parts: the name and the content or value of the cookie. The duration of the existence of a cookie is determined; technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that web server.
Cookies themselves do not require personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users.
There are 2 main categories of cookies:
1. Session cookies: they are temporarily stored in the cookies folder of the web browser so that it can store them until the user leaves the respective website or closes the browser window;
2. Persistent cookies: They are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device and are activated again when you visit the site that created that specific cookie. Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one the user is currently visiting. These are known as “third party cookies” or cookies placed by third parties. They store a user’s interests in order to deliver the most relevant advertising for them.
How long does a cookie last?
The lifetime of a cookie can vary significantly depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are intended for a single use (such as session cookies), so they are not maintained once the user leaves the site. Other cookies are maintained and reused each time the user returns to the site (persistent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time by using the browser settings.
What are third-party cookies?
Some sections of the content of some sites may be provided by third-party cookies, such as advertising. Such cookies may be placed on the site and are called cookies placed by third parties because they are not placed by the site owner. Such third parties are in turn obliged to comply with the applicable legal regulations and the privacy policies of the owner of the respective site.
Why are cookies important for the internet?
Cookies are the focal point of the efficient operation of the Internet, helping to generate a friendly browsing experience tailored to the preferences and interests of each user. Declining or disabling cookies may make some sites impossible to use. Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising – only that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests, as evidenced by your browsing behavior.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to authenticate through an account):
1. Content and services adapted to the user’s preferences – categories of products and services;
2. Offers adapted to the interests of users – password retention;
3. Retention of child protection filters on Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions);
4. Limit the frequency of ad serving – Limit the number of impressions of an ad for a particular user on a site;
5. Providing more relevant advertising for the user;
6. Measurement, optimization and Analytics features – such as confirming a certain level of traffic to a website, what type of content is viewed and how a user gets to a website (example: through search engines, directly, from other websites etc). Websites carry out these analyzes of their use in order to improve the sites for the benefit of the users.
