(1) PROTECT ADS uses cookies and similar technologies in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and with Romanian Law nr. 506/2004 regarding the processing of personal data and the protection of private life in the electronic communications sector. This Cookie Policy forms an integral part of our Terms of Service and should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
(2) Cookies are delivered by the platform www.protectads.com towards the user’s device and are stored in its memory, being communicated back to the platform on subsequent visits.
Categories of cookies we use
The categories of cookies used by PROTECT ADS are:
a). strictly necessary cookies — necessary for the functioning of the platform (for example, session and authentication cookies, as well as the “CookiePolicy” cookie which stores your consent option, with a storage duration of 30 days). These do not require consent, the basis of their use being PROTECT ADS’ legitimate interest in ensuring the functioning of the platform;
b). analytics and marketing cookies — placed by third parties (for example, Google Analytics and Google Ads, for measuring traffic and conversions), used only with the user’s prior consent, expressed through the cookie banner displayed at the first access of the platform;
c). functional third-party cookies — related to the services integrated in the platform (for example, the Brevo chat module), used with the user’s consent.
Managing your consent
The user can express or withdraw at any time his/her consent regarding non-essential cookies through the cookie banner: by accepting all categories (“Accept all”), by refusing them and keeping only the strictly necessary cookies (“Reject”), or by configuring each category separately (“Customize”, with individual options for the “analytics and marketing” cookies and for the “functional” cookies). The banner can be reopened at any time through the “Cookie settings” link in the page footer, and consent can also be withdrawn by deleting the cookies and configuring the settings of the used browser. We also honor browser-level opt-out signals (such as Global Privacy Control or “Do Not Track”): when such a signal is detected, non-essential cookies are not used unless the user explicitly opts in. Refusing non-essential cookies does not affect access to the platform.
Third-party cookies
For cookies placed by third parties (Google, Brevo), the storage duration and the subsequent processing of data are governed by the policies of these third parties. Additional information is available in the Google privacy policy (policies.google.com/privacy) and in the Brevo privacy policy (www.brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy).
We mention that not only could the user be the target of cookies, but also a third party who does not want any contractual agreement/connection with PROTECT ADS.
