Registered office: Romania, Timișș county, Timișoara, str. Gheorghe Lazăr nr. 24, et. 4, ap. SAD 29 (Fructus Plaza)
Registered at the Trade Register of the Timis Court under no. J35/1290/2010

The contact details that the user can use to send any requests, notifications or complaints regarding the Terms and Conditions, Data Protection Policy, Cookie Policy, as well as any other information published on the Site, policies or operations carried out by the Company, are indicated in point 1 above.
The deadline for HM to provide a response is no later than 30 days after receipt of the request.
HM uses its own and third-party cookies to provide users with a much better browsing experience and services tailored to their needs and interests. In what is known as "Web 2.0", cookies play an important role in making it easier for users to access the services they enjoy on the Internet by customising certain settings such as the language in which a site is displayed or the currency in which prices are displayed.
The role of cookies is to:
The term "cookie" refers to technologies that automatically collect certain information. An "Internet cookie" (also known as a "browser cookie" or "HTTP cookie" or simply "cookie") is a small file of letters and numbers that will be stored on a user's computer, mobile device or other equipment from which the Internet is accessed.
The cookie is installed by a web-server's request to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely "passive" (it contains no software, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the hard drive of the user who installed it).
A cookie consists of 2 parts:
Cookies themselves do not require personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users. In addition, the lifetime of a cookie is limited from the moment of installation. Technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with that web server.
Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users.
Session cookies
They are temporarily stored in the web browser's cookie folder for the browser to remember until the visitor exits the website or closes the browser window (e.g. when logging in/out of a webmail or social media account).
Persistent cookies
They are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device (and generally depend on the default lifetime of the cookie). Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one the visitor is currently accessing - known as 'third party cookies' - which can be used anonymously to remember a user's interests in order to deliver the most relevant advertising to visitors.
Thus, some cookies are only used for a single session (session cookies) and are no longer retained once the user has left the site and some cookies are retained and reused every time the user returns to that site until the expiry date - which can be minutes, hours, days or even years (permanent or fixed cookies).
However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time through browser settings.
A cookie contains information that links a web-browser (the user) to a specific web-server (including the Site). If a browser accesses that web-server again, it can read the information already stored and react accordingly. Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support the efforts of many websites to provide convenient and user-friendly services: e.g. online privacy preferences, relevant advertising options.
Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifetime of a cookie is limited and can vary significantly depending on the purpose for which it is placed.
Some cookies are used exclusively for a single session (session cookies) and are no longer retained once the user has left the website and some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website until the expiry date - which can be minutes, hours, days or even years (persistent or fixed cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by the user at any time through browser settings.
Certain sections of content on some sites may be provided through third party/providers (e.g. a news box, a video or an advertisement). These third parties may also place cookies through the Site and they are called "third party cookies" because they are not placed by the owner of that website. Third party providers must also comply with applicable law and the data protection policies of the Site owner, i.e. HM.
Cookies store information in a small text file that allows a website to recognise a browser. The web server will recognise the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted.
The cookie stores important information that enhances your web browsing experience, depending on the type of cookie deployed, as well as identifying usage errors.
A visit to the Site may place the following types of cookies:
These cookies may come from the following third parties: Google Analytics, FaceBook pixels, Intercom, Hotjar
Cookies store information in a small text file that allows a website/app to recognise a browser. The web server will recognise the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted.
The cookie stores important information that enhances the web browsing experience, depending on the type of cookie deployed, but also those that identify usage errors (e.g. language settings in which the user wants to access the Site; keeping a user logged in to their account if applicable).
Cookies are essential for the efficient functioning of the Internet, as they help to generate a user-friendly browsing experience, suited to each user's preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some sites/applications inaccessible.
Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that the user will no longer receive online advertising; instead, it will no longer be able to take into account the user's preferences and interests, as evidenced by their browsing behaviour.
Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code so they cannot be executed nor can they auto-run. Consequently, they cannot be duplicated or replicated on other networks to run or replicate themselves again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.
However, cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about users' preferences and browsing history, cookies can be used as a form of spyware, both on private sites/applications and on other sites/applications. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and constantly mark cookies for deletion in antivirus/anti-spyware removal/scanning procedures. Browsers generally have built-in privacy settings that offer different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site/application.
OTHER SECURITY ISSUES RELATED TO COOKIES
As identity protection is extremely valuable and a right of every internet user, it is best to be aware of the potential problems that cookies can create. Since they constantly transmit information to and from the browser and the Site, if an attacker or unauthorised person interferes with the data transmission process, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted. Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server through an unencrypted network (e.g. an unsecured WiFi network).
Other cookie-based attacks are due to incorrect cookie settings on servers. If a website does not require the browser to use exclusively encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. Attackers then use the information to gain unauthorised access to certain sites/applications. It is very important for users to be careful when choosing the best method to protect their personal information.
Given their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited and largest sites/applications use cookies, they are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow the user access to the most popular and widely used sites/applications, including Youtube, Gmail, Yahoo and others.
With a clear understanding of how they work and the benefits they bring, users can take the necessary security measures to surf the Internet with confidence.
Users will customize their browser cookie settings to reflect a comfortable level of cookie security for them.
If the user is not bothered by cookies and is the only person using the computer, they can set long time limits for storing browsing history and personal access data. If he shares access to the computer, he may consider setting the browser to delete individual browsing data each time the browser is closed. This is an option to access sites/applications that place cookies and to delete any visit information at the end of the browsing session.
Constant installation and updating of antispyware applications
Many spyware detection and prevention applications include detection of website/application attacks. This prevents the browser from accessing sites/applications that could exploit vulnerabilities or download dangerous software. Users will ensure that their browser is always up-to-date. Many cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting weaknesses in older browser versions.
Cookies are everywhere and cannot be avoided if the user wants to access the best and biggest sites/applications on the Internet - local or international. With a clear understanding of how they work and the benefits they bring, the user can take the necessary security measures to surf the internet with confidence.
Thus, the user can customize their browser cookie settings at any time to reflect a comfortable level of data security and cookie usage.
Disabling and refusing to receive some cookies may make certain sites/applications unusable, only partially usable or difficult to visit and use. Furthermore, refusing to accept cookies does not mean that visitors will no longer receive/view online advertising. It is possible to set your browser to refuse these cookies or to set your browser to accept only certain categories of cookies.
All modern browsers offer the possibility to change cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the "options" or "preferences" menu of the browser. The user is also asked to use the cookie options bar on the Site for this purpose.
Thus, the visitor can at any time change his choices regarding the cookies for which his consent is required by unchecking the appropriate box. These settings can be found in the permanently available pop-up at the bottom of the page, where you can choose between choosing all cookies by clicking the OK button.Accept all AND Custom cookies settings, where you will choose cookies according to your preferences. Thus, the user may choose to express his/her consent to the use of one, more or all cookies that do not fall into the category of those indispensable for the use of HM or for the transmission of communications, and change his/her decision in this regard at any time, without this in any way affecting the possibility of browsing the Site.
