The security of your data is of the utmost importance to us, which is why we also take every aspect of your data protection seriously.

As of May 25, 2018, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation), also known as GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), has been implemented. This means that any Operator/entity processing personal data must apply these new requirements and provide in a transparent way information on how the data is processed.

Given the need to comply with the GDPR, and the fact that we are committed to taking care of your personal data (which may include name, surname, e-mail address, etc. depending on the purpose of processing) that are in our database, we inform you that they are used only for the purpose of successfully carrying out the processes carried out in the relationship with you (we mention some processes without limitation: booking / selling / order placement, transportation and deliveries, maintaining customer relations).

To improve your online browsing experience, we use cookies to make the website easier to use www.cirast.com by visitors. The full list of third-party cookies can be found below.

1. What is a cookie?

An “Internet Cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie” or simply “cookie”) is a small file made up of letters and numbers that is stored on a user’s computer, mobile device or other equipment from which the Internet is accessed. The cookie is installed by a request from a web server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox) and is completely “passive” (it contains no software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access information on the user’s hard drive).
A cookie consists of two parts: the name and the content or value of the cookie. Furthermore, the duration of a cookie is determined; technically, only the server that sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the site associated with the web server.
Cookies play an important role in facilitating access and delivery of the many services that the user enjoys on the Internet, such as:

Customize settings such as the language in which a website is displayed, the currency in which certain prices or tariffs are expressed, keeping options for different products (quantity, other details, etc);
Cookies provide site owners with valuable feedback on how their sites are being used by users so that they can make them more effective and more accessible to users;
Allow multimedia and other applications from other websites to be embedded on a website to create a more valuable, useful and enjoyable browsing experience.

Cookies themselves do not require personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify internet users. There are two broad categories of cookies:

Session cookies – these are temporarily stored in the web browser’s cookie folder for the web browser to remember them until the user exits the website or closes the browser window (e.g. when logging in/out to a webmail or social networking account);
Persistent cookies – These are stored on the hard drive of a computer or device (and generally depend on the cookie’s pre-set lifetime). Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one the user is currently visiting – known as “third party cookies” – which can be used anonymously to remember a user’s interests so that advertising can be delivered that is as relevant as possible to users.

2. What are the advantages of cookies?

Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifetime of a cookie 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 not retained once the user has left the website, and some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website (“persistent cookies”). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time through the browser settings.
In general, the role of cookies is to ensure fast and easy interaction between users and websites. Cookies are also used to make it easy for users to resume their activities the next time they visit a previously visited website. Essentially, cookies tell the server which pages to display to the user, without the user having to remember which pages they have navigated to or navigate the whole site from the beginning.

3. Why do we use cookies?

To recognize new visitors to the site www.cirast.com.
To recognize past visitors.

4. How are cookies used on this site?

Session/Functional Cookies:
Session cookies are stored on the user’s device during the browsing session. They save an anonymous session identifier, allowing the user to visit a website without having to re-enter login information (username, password, etc.) on every page. These cookies are commonly used in an online shop. For example, when the user visits a specific page and selects certain products, the cookie remembers the selected products and adds them to the cart, which will contain all selected items when the user chooses to leave the page. Session cookies are stored in the device’s memory only during an internet browsing session and are deleted when the browser is closed. They can also become unavailable if the session has been inactive for a certain period of time.

5. What kind of information is stored and accessed through cookies?

Cookies store information in a small text file that allows a website to recognize a browser. The web server will recognize the browser until the cookie expires or is deleted. The cookie stores important information that enhances the web browsing experience (e.g. user session id, referring page, current time, etc).

6. Why are cookies important for the internet?

Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping to create a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to each user’s preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some websites unusable. Rejecting or disabling cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising – it just means that it will no longer be able to take into account your preferences and interests as evidenced by your browsing behavior.
Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require a user to log in through an account):

Content and services tailored to user preferences;
Offers tailored to users’ interests – language preferences (e.g. display search results in English);
Provide more relevant advertising to the user;
Measurement, optimization and analytics features – such as confirming a certain level of traffic to a website, what type of content is being viewed and how a user gets to a website (e.g. through search engines, directly, from other websites, etc.) Websites run these analytics on their usage to improve their websites for the benefit of their users.

7. Security and privacy issues?

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 autorun. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate themselves on other networks to run or replicate themselves again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses. Cookies can however be used for negative purposes. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and routinely mark cookies for deletion as part of their anti-virus/anti-spyware deletion/scanning procedures.
In general, browsers have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular site.
See our privacy policy.

It is possible to set your browser to stop accepting cookies or you can set your browser to accept cookies from a specific site.
Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” feature that allows users to be untracked while browsing. Blocking cookies or using “Do Not Track” may block certain functionality on our websites.
