This Cookie Policy applies to the greenportoperator.ro website, operated by Green Port Operator. Here we explain what cookies are, what types we use on this site, for what purpose, and how you can control them.

This Policy is drafted in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), Law 190/2018 on the implementation measures of GDPR in Romania, and Law 506/2004 on the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a small text file saved by your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, or other) on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies allow the site to remember information about your visit — for example, your preferred language or whether you have accepted the cookie banner — so you don’t have to configure them again on each visit.

Alongside cookies, there are other similar technologies (web beacons, pixels, local storage) used for similar purposes. We treat them under the same policy, under the umbrella of the generic term “cookies.”

2. WHY WE USE COOKIES ON THIS SITE

We use cookies for four main purposes:

– For the basic functioning of the site (session, administrator authentication, security)
– To remember your preferences (language, consent expressed in the cookie banner)
– To understand how the site is used, through anonymized statistics
– To display media content and maps from third-party providers (e.g., Google Maps on contact and location pages)

We do not use cookies for behavioral advertising, user profiling, or retargeting.

3. TYPES OF COOKIES

Cookies are classified into four categories, depending on their purpose. Only essential cookies are mandatory for the site’s operation.

Essential

Functional
Remember your preferences (chosen language, options from the cookie banner). They improve the experience, but the site also works without them. They can be disabled.

Analytics
Collect anonymous information about how the site is used (pages visited, duration, device, geographical region). Used to improve content. They can be disabled.

Marketing
