Last Updated: 22 July 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Vatobe Xicepu uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on vatobe-xicepu.info. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader information about how we handle personal data. This policy is issued in compliance with Romanian Law no. 506/2004 on the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector (as amended by Law no. 235/2015), which implements Directive 2002/58/EC (the ePrivacy Directive), and with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679.
What Are Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit it. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website operators. They are stored in your browser and can be read by the website on subsequent visits.
Cookies may be "session cookies," which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent cookies," which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them manually. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services used by that website ("third-party cookies").
Similar technologies include web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage objects. This policy covers all such technologies where they are used on this Website.
Why We Use Cookies
Vatobe Xicepu uses cookies for two purposes. First, to enable the basic technical functioning of the Website, including storing your cookie consent preferences so that you are not asked repeatedly on every page visit. Second, where you have given your consent, to collect anonymised analytics information that helps us understand how the Website is used and how its content might be improved.
We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioural profiling, retargeting, or any commercial tracking purpose. We do not share cookie-derived data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Types of Cookies We Use
The cookies used on this Website fall into two categories: strictly necessary cookies, which operate without your consent, and analytics cookies, which are only activated after you have given explicit consent through the cookie consent interface. Each category is described in detail in the sections below.
We do not use social media cookies, advertising cookies, or cookies that track your activity across other websites. The total number of cookies set by this Website is minimal by design.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the Website to function. They do not collect information for marketing purposes and cannot be disabled without impairing the Website's core functionality. Under Law no. 506/2004 and the ePrivacy Directive, strictly necessary cookies do not require prior consent.
The following strictly necessary cookie is used on this Website:
Cookie name: vxi_consent
Purpose: Stores your cookie consent preferences (accepted, declined, or customised categories). Without this cookie, the consent prompt would appear on every page load.
Type: First-party persistent cookie
Duration: 12 months from the date of your consent decision
Data stored: A string recording your preference (e.g., "necessary-only" or "all-accepted"). No personal identifiers are stored in this cookie.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Website by collecting and reporting information in aggregated, anonymised form. This information helps us improve the structure and content of the Website. Analytics cookies are only activated if you have consented through the cookie consent interface.
Where analytics functionality is enabled, data collected may include: pages visited, time spent on each page, the source of your visit (e.g., direct, search engine, referral), browser type, device type, and general geographic region (country level only). This data is anonymised before processing and is not used to identify individual visitors.
You can withdraw your consent to analytics cookies at any time by clearing your browser cookies or by revisiting the cookie consent interface. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
Your Consent
When you first visit the Website, a cookie consent notice will appear in the bottom-right corner of your screen. This notice explains the categories of cookies used and gives you the option to accept all cookies, accept strictly necessary cookies only, or customise your preferences by category.
Consent is obtained through a clear, affirmative action (clicking "Accept All" or enabling specific categories). Continuing to browse without interacting with the consent interface does not constitute consent. Consent is recorded in the vxi_consent cookie and remains valid for twelve months.
Consent for analytics cookies is freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous, in accordance with Article 7 GDPR and Article 4(11) GDPR. Refusing analytics cookies has no impact on your ability to use the Website.
Managing Cookies
You can manage cookie settings in several ways. Through the Website's consent interface: if you wish to change your cookie preferences after your initial visit, you can do so by clearing the vxi_consent cookie from your browser settings, which will cause the consent interface to reappear on your next visit.
Through your browser settings: most browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies. Browser-specific instructions are available through the help documentation of your browser. Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, including this one. Deleting the vxi_consent cookie specifically will reset your consent preferences.
Browser cookie management guides are available from the relevant browser providers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera) through their respective support pages. The Your Online Choices platform (youronlinechoices.eu) also provides guidance on managing cookies across multiple services.
Third-Party Cookies
The Website may embed content from third-party sources, such as a Google Maps iframe on the Contact page. Third-party services may set their own cookies when their content is loaded. These cookies are subject to the third party's own privacy and cookie policies, not this policy.
Google Maps embeds may set cookies or use similar technologies for their own operational purposes. For information about Google's data practices, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy at policies.google.com. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party cookies set by embedded services.
We do not use third-party advertising networks, social media plugins, or retargeting services that would set third-party tracking cookies on this Website.
Legal Basis
The legal basis for strictly necessary cookies is our legitimate interest in operating a functional website, as recognised under Romanian Law no. 506/2004 and the ePrivacy Directive. These cookies do not require consent.
The legal basis for analytics cookies is your consent, pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Article 4 of Law no. 506/2004. Consent is collected through the cookie consent interface described in this policy and may be withdrawn at any time.
The supervisory authority for cookie-related complaints in Romania is the Autoritatea Națională de Supraveghere a Prelucrării Datelor cu Caracter Personal (ANSPDCP). You have the right to lodge a complaint with the ANSPDCP if you believe your rights under the applicable legislation have been infringed.
Policy Updates
This Cookie Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use, applicable legal requirements, or our data practices. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the current version was adopted. Where updates are material, we will update the date and may provide notice through the Website.
If changes affect cookies that require consent, the consent interface will reappear to request your updated preferences where technically feasible. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically.
