1. Cookie and Similar Technologies Usage Policy
This policy refers to cookies and similar technologies used, where applicable, on websites and applications operated by S.C. EV PLUG S.R.L., headquartered in Bucharest, Strada Barlea, no. 5-13, sector 6 (hereinafter referred to as EVPlug).
Cookies are used for the following purposes:
to ensure the website functions properly,
to analyze visitor behavior,
for advertising purposes.
This policy supplements EVPlug’s general personal data protection policy, which you can find here, and the website's Terms and Conditions, which you can find here. We encourage you to read them as they contain additional useful information, your rights, and the exceptions and limitations thereof.

2. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal, or other equipment of a user from which the Internet is accessed. The cookie is installed at the request of the user's terminal to an EVPlug server or to a third-party server.
3. What are cookies used for?
These files mainly allow the recognition of the user's device and the display of content in a relevant way, tailored to user preferences.
Cookies ensure users a pleasant browsing experience and support EVPlug’s efforts to offer more tailored services such as: online privacy preferences, shopping cart, or relevant advertising. They are also used to prepare aggregated anonymous statistics that help us understand how users interact with our websites, allowing us to improve their structure and content without personally identifying users.
4. What cookies do we use?
We use two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary files that remain on the user’s device until the session ends or the application is closed. Persistent cookies remain on the user’s device for a period defined by the cookie parameters or until manually deleted by the user.
5. How are cookies used on this website?
A visit to this website may place the following types of cookies:
strictly necessary cookies for site functionality
analytical cookies
advertising cookies
Strictly necessary cookies and/or similar technologies are essential for the proper functioning of the website and are set on your device when you access the site or as a result of actions taken on the site. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but in this case, certain site sections may not function correctly.
The other cookie categories serve the purposes described in section 11.
6. Do cookies or similar technologies contain personal data?
Cookies or similar technologies themselves do not require personal data to be used and, in many cases, do not personally identify Internet users. However, there are situations when personal data may be collected through the use of cookies to enable certain functionalities for the user or to provide a more customized experience. Such data is encrypted in a way that makes it inaccessible to unauthorized persons.
What are similar technologies?
There are other technologies that can be used for the same purposes as cookies.
EVPlug uses Local Storage as a similar technology.

8. Managing cookie placement preferences
Generally, the application used to access web pages allows the storage of cookies and/or similar technologies on the terminal by default. These are stored for the periods described in the table in section 11 below. These settings can be changed to block automatic cookie management by the web browser or to notify the user whenever cookies are sent to their device.
Detailed information about cookie management options can be found in the settings area of your browser. Limiting cookie use may affect certain website functionalities.
9. Why are cookies and/or similar technologies important for the Internet?
Cookies and/or similar technologies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to provide a friendly and tailored browsing experience to each user. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some websites or parts of websites unusable.
Disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising — only that it will no longer take your preferences and browsing behavior into account.
Examples of important uses for cookies (that do not require user account authentication):
Tailored content and services – product and service categories.
Offers tailored to users’ interests
Remembering passwords
Remembering child protection filters for Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).
Limiting ad display frequency – limiting the number of times an ad is shown to a specific user on a website.
Delivering more relevant advertising.
Measuring, optimizing, and adjusting analytics features – such as confirming a certain traffic level on a website, what kind of content is viewed, and how a user arrives at a website (e.g., via search engines, directly, or from other websites). Websites use this data to improve their services for user benefit.
10. Security and privacy aspects
Most browsers include privacy settings that offer different levels of cookie acceptance, expiration, and automatic deletion after the user visits a website.
Other cookie-related security aspects:
• Customize your browser settings related to cookies to reflect your preferred level of cookie usage security.
• If you are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration times for storing browsing history and access credentials, if desired.
• If you share computer access, consider setting the browser to delete individual browsing data every time you close it. This allows you to access sites that place cookies while deleting visit information at the end of your session.
