I. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files that websites can place on your device when you visit them.
These are widely used to make websites work or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to website owners. Similar technologies, such as pixels, web beacons, and local storage, operate on similar principles, collecting and storing information to improve your user experience and provide relevant content and advertising.
II. Types of cookies
There are several types of cookies, each with different purposes and functionalities. Our website primarily uses two categories: first-party cookies and persistent cookies.
1. First-party cookies: These cookies are set directly by PlanFrame on your device. They are used exclusively by us and help us recognize users when they return to our website. Through first-party cookies, we can provide a more consistent and personalized experience on our site.
2. Persistent cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a predetermined period of time, even after you close your browser.
Their main purpose is to remember user information or preferences to provide a consistent and efficient experience on subsequent visits to the site. For example, we use persistent cookies to remember your consent to our cookie policy, thus avoiding the need to request your consent on each visit. They can also be used to anonymously track your interests to personalize the displayed advertising.
To eliminate any ambiguity, we want to clarify that our website does not use third-party cookies for user behavior tracking.
III. Storage duration of cookies
The period for which a cookie will remain on your device varies depending on the type of cookie. Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. On the other hand, persistent cookies remain on your device for a predetermined period or until manually deleted. This duration can range from a few minutes to several years, depending on the purpose of the cookie and the settings you have chosen.
IV. Cookie control
We encourage you to refer to section VI of our Cookie Policy for detailed instructions on how to manage and control cookies, including how to delete them before their expiration date. You have the option to adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, delete cookies after each session, or be notified when cookies are placed. Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality and experience on our website.
V. We use cookies from two main categories
1. Analytics and Performance Cookies: We use both Google Analytics and Matomo to collect anonymous information about how visitors interact with our site. This analysis helps us understand usage trends and improve the structure and content of the site.
2. Security Cookies: Cloudflare helps us identify legitimate web traffic and protect our site against online attacks. These cookies are crucial for maintaining the security and integrity of the site.
By opting to reject or disable cookies, you will still encounter online advertising, but it will no longer be personalized based on your browsing activities. Thus, advertising will no longer be aligned with your preferences or interests, losing its relevance.
Among the valuable uses of cookies, which do not require authentication through an account, are:
a. Personalizing Experience: Adjusting offers and content based on user interests, such as retaining language preferences (e.g., displaying search results in Romanian) or passwords for quick and secure access.
b. Targeted Advertising: Displaying ads that reflect your interests and preferences, based on your browsing behavior to increase the relevance of advertising messages.
c. Analysis and Optimization: Using cookies to measure and analyze how visitors interact with the site, such as monitoring traffic levels, types of viewed content, and how users arrive on the site (e.g., through search engines or directly from other sites).
These tools are vital for website owners, allowing them to continuously adjust and improve online platforms, ensuring they are aligned with user needs and expectations, thereby enhancing the overall online experience.
We reiterate our commitment not to use cookies for creating individual profiles or for automated decision-making processes based solely on automated data processing.
Our goal is to use these technologies in a responsible and transparent manner, respecting the privacy of our visitors.
For more details on managing cookie preferences, we invite you to consult section VI, which provides instructions on how to control and delete these cookies.

VI. Cookie Management
To manage or opt out of cookies, you have several options that allow you to adjust how your browser interacts with them. Here are a few steps you can take to control cookie usage:
1. Adjusting browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to adjust cookie settings. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is sent. Each browser is different, so check your browser's "Help," "Settings," or "Preferences" menu to learn how to change cookie preferences.
2. Browsing in private mode: You can use private or incognito browsing mode, which doesn't save browsing history, cookies, or data from websites.
3. Blocking third-party cookies: If you want to accept cookies from the site you're visiting (first-party) but reject third-party cookies, you can choose this option in your browser settings.
4. Using a cookie management tool: There are various applications and browser extensions that can help you manage cookies. These may allow you to view, accept, or reject cookies on individual websites.
5. Consulting browser-specific help pages: Each browser typically has specific help pages that provide guidance on managing cookies.
For Chrome: go to [Settings] -> [Privacy and security] -> [Cookies and other site data]
For Firefox: go to [Options] -> [Privacy & Security] -> [Cookies and Site Data]
For Safari: go to [Preferences] -> [Privacy] -> [Manage Website Data]
For Internet Explorer/Edge: go to [Settings] -> [Advanced options] -> [Privacy] -> [Settings]
These settings may vary depending on your browser version.
Note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect your browsing experience, causing certain site features to be unavailable or not function correctly. It's recommended to adjust cookie settings to strike a balance between personalized browsing experience and your privacy preferences.
VII. Security Concerns
To ensure the security of data transmitted between the web server and browser, Micro Route Technology has adopted encryption protocols such as SSL, which encrypt communications to protect the information stored in cookies. This measure prevents unauthorized access to your personal data.
Cookies are created through a request from a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, etc.) and are inherently passive, containing no software programs, viruses, or spyware, and lacking the ability to access information from the user's hard drive. Being devoid of code segments, they cannot execute or auto-execute actions.
However, the use of cookies can have implications for privacy. By storing preferences and browsing history, cookies can inadvertently serve as tools for Spyware. They can provide details about browsing habits on the internet, not only on a specific site but across multiple platforms.
One risk associated with cookies is their interception by unauthorized persons. If the connection between the browser and server is made through an unencrypted network (e.g., an unsecured public WiFi network), the information in cookies can be exposed.
Cookie-based attacks can also occur due to inadequate server configurations. If a site does not instruct the browser to use encrypted channels, attackers can exploit this weakness to force the browser to transmit data over insecure channels, thereby allowing unauthorized access to information.
It is crucial to take prudent measures to protect personal information. Choose robust security settings for your browser and be cautious about the networks you connect to, ensuring that personal information remains protected during online browsing.
Efficient browsing with the help of cookie modules can be simplified by adjusting your browser settings. Here are a few suggestions to optimize your online experience while also protecting your privacy:
1. Managing common browsing sessions: If you share your computer with others, consider configuring your browser so that browsing history and cookies are automatically cleared when the browser is closed. This prevents the next user from accessing or viewing your browsing history.
2. Use anti-spyware software: Installing and regularly updating anti-spyware software can help prevent malware attacks and detect spyware attempts, protecting your personal data from potential threats.
3. Keep your browser updated: Ensure you're using the latest version of your browser, as updates often include patches for security vulnerabilities that could be exploited through cookies.
