Cookie Policy
This policy explains how the website of Societatea Civilă de Avocatură „Damian și Asociații” uses cookies and similar technologies, including localStorage, as well as your options for managing them.
1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small files stored in the user's browser or device. The website may also use other similar technologies, such as localStorage, security scripts, technical identifiers, or third-party resources loaded in the browser.
These technologies may be used for:
- technical operation of the website;
- protection against abusive traffic;
- remembering user preferences;
- measuring website traffic and performance, only under the conditions described below.
2. Categories of technologies used
By default, the website uses only technologies that are strictly necessary for operation and security.
Optional categories, such as functional and analytics technologies, remain inactive until consent is given, where required.
| Category | Default status | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Enabled | Technical operation of the website, security, anti-bot protection, protection of published email addresses, storing consent choices, and returning you to your previous position on the home page. |
| Functional / preferences | Disabled (opt-in) | Enables optional features such as Google Maps only after consent. |
| Analytics | Disabled (opt-in) | Measuring website traffic and performance only after explicit consent. |
| Marketing | Not used in the current configuration | The website currently does not use marketing/advertising cookies or technologies. |
3. How consent is managed
You can accept, reject, or customize optional categories through the cookie banner and the “Cookie Settings” option.
Strictly necessary technologies cannot be disabled from the banner because they are used for website operation and security.
Analytics and optional functional features (for example, Google Maps) are enabled only based on consent, where required. If your browser sends a “Do Not Track” signal, Google Analytics is not loaded, even if you have accepted the Analytics category.
Your choice is kept for at most 12 months; after that, or if we materially change the services or purposes for which we ask for consent, we ask you again.
4. Withdrawing or changing choices
You may change or withdraw your consent for optional categories at any time via the “Cookie Settings” option.
You may also delete or block cookies and other storage technologies from your browser settings. Certain website functionalities may be affected in this case.
When you withdraw consent for Analytics, Google Analytics is stopped immediately in all open tabs of the website and the _ga cookies set on our domain are deleted. Deleting these cookies does not remove data already sent to Google before the withdrawal; to exercise your rights regarding that data, you can contact us as described in the Privacy Policy. If your browser does not allow the choice to be saved, it applies to the current page only and you will be asked again.
