What cookies are<\/h2>\n<p>A cookie is a small text file stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (language, authenticated session, etc.) for a period of time, so you don&#8217;t have to re-enter them on each visit.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Our approach<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>vocaarchitects.ro<\/strong> site takes a minimalist approach to cookies: we use only <strong>strictly necessary<\/strong> technologies for the site to work correctly. We do not use advertising cookies, profiling cookies, or cross-site tracking. We do not send visitor data to Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other marketing network.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, under Romanian Law no. 506\/2004 and the ePrivacy Directive, this site does not require a cookie consent banner.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Cookies used on this site<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Name \/ category<\/th>\n<th>Purpose<\/th>\n<th>Duration<\/th>\n<th>Consent required?<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><code>_icl_*<\/code> (WPML)<\/td>\n<td>Remembers the selected language (RO \/ EN) during the visit and on return<\/td>\n<td>1 year<\/td>\n<td>No \u2014 strictly necessary<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>wp-settings-*<\/code>, <code>wordpress_*<\/code><\/td>\n<td>WordPress session cookies, set <strong>only for authenticated site administrators<\/strong>.

Web analytics (cookieless)<\/h2>\n<p>To understand how our site is used, we use <strong>Matomo<\/strong>, a web analytics system hosted on our own servers (self-hosted, data stays within the European Union). We have configured it as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It does not set cookies on your device<\/li>\n<li>It anonymises your IP address before storage (last octet removed)<\/li>\n<li>It honours the &#8220;Do Not Track&#8221; header sent by your browser<\/li>\n<li>It does not track visitors across sites<\/li>\n<li>Data is aggregated and cannot identify individual visitors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Following guidance from the Romanian National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (ANSPDCP) and the French CNIL, this Matomo configuration qualifies as &#8220;first-party measurement&#8221; and does not require consent.<\/p>\n<h2>5. How to disable or delete cookies<\/h2>\n<p>You can manage cookies directly from your browser. Here are the official guides:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/chrome\/answer\/95647\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Google Chrome<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.mozilla.org\/en-US\/kb\/cookies-information-websites-store-on-your-computer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Mozilla Firefox<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/guide\/safari\/sfri11471\/mac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Safari<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-edge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Microsoft Edge<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note: if you disable WPML cookies, you will need to select the language on each visit. Core site functionality will not be affected.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Changes to this policy<\/h2>\n<p>If we add new technologies in the future that require non-strictly-necessary cookies (e.g. YouTube embeds with cookies, Google Analytics, live chat), we will update this policy and display a consent banner before activating them.<\/p>\n<h2>7.
