1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy applies to all users of the wpforge.eu website. The information provided below aims to inform users about the placement, use, and management of cookies in the context of browsing this website.
We use the term “cookies” to refer to cookie modules and similar technologies through which information can be automatically collected.
Cookies are used to provide users of the website with a better browsing experience and services tailored to the needs and interests of each user, specifically for:
Improving the use of the website, including identifying errors that occur during its visit/use by users;
Providing anonymous statistics regarding how this website is used to ALBO IT SERVICES SRL, the website’s owner;

2. What are cookies?
An “Internet Cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie”) is a small file, made up of letters and numbers, that will be stored on a user’s computer, mobile terminal, or other device through which the internet is accessed.
Cookies are installed through a request sent by a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). Once installed, cookies have a determined lifespan and remain “passive,” meaning they do not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and will not access information on the user’s hard drive.
A cookie consists of two parts:
Name
Content or Value
Technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when the user returns to the webpage associated with that server.
There are the following categories of cookies:
Session Cookies – These are automatically deleted when the user closes their browser.
Persistent Cookies – These remain stored on the user’s device until they reach a set expiration date (which may be minutes, days, or even years in the future).
3. What is the lifespan of cookies?
Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifespan of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on its purpose. Some cookies are used solely for a single session (i.e., session cookies) and are not retained after the user leaves the website. Other cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to the website (i.e., persistent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time through browser settings.
4. What are third-party cookies?
In addition to cookies set by Evensys, certain content on this website may be provided via third parties, meaning not by Evensys, in which case these cookies are known as “third-party cookies.”

If the use of cookies is not bothersome, and the computer or technical device used to browse this website is only used by you, long-term expiration settings can be configured to store browsing history.
If the computer or device is shared by multiple people, you may consider setting the browser to delete individual browsing data each time the browser is closed.
