Cookie policy
What this site currently stores in your browser, what is reserved for later integrations, and how to change your choice.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file a site saves in your browser and reads on later visits. This site uses session and consent cookies and, with performance consent, a first-party visitor identifier. Any later use of similar technologies must be added to this inventory before activation.
2. The legal basis
In Romania, storing and reading cookies on your terminal equipment is governed by art. 4(5) of Law no. 506/2004 on the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector. The rule is prior consent, given after clear and complete information. The exception covers cookies strictly necessary to transmit a communication or to provide a service you have expressly requested.
On top of that comes Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), which sets the basis for processing the personal data read from cookies: consent, under art. 6(1)(a), for the non-essential categories, and legitimate interest, under art. 6(1)(f), for those strictly necessary to run the site. Citing the GDPR alone is not sufficient in Romania — the two texts apply together, and the table below cites both for every category.
Consent is given by a clear affirmative action: you tick the categories you want or press the accept button. Continuing to browse, scrolling the page or closing the banner does not amount to consent, and no box is pre-ticked. Until you choose, only strictly necessary cookies are set. Refusing is as easy as accepting.
3. Consent categories and current inventory
The preferences panel has four categories. Strictly necessary storage is active; performance storage is optional; functional and marketing integrations are reserved but not currently declared as active.
| Category | What they do | Examples | Legal basis | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keep the sign-in session, protect forms against CSRF attacks and remember your cookie choices. | Application session, anti-CSRF token and evo_consent preference record. | Art. 4(5) of Law no. 506/2004 — the exception for a service you expressly requested, no consent needed; art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest). | From the browsing session up to 12 months. |
| Performance and statistics | Associate consented visits with a random first-party identifier so traffic and page use can be measured. | evo_vid and first-party visitor/page-view records. No third-party analytics tool is currently declared. | Art. 4(5) of Law no. 506/2004 — prior consent; art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. | evo_vid: up to 2 years on a sliding basis; detailed first-party visitor data: up to 14 months. |
| Functional | Reserved for optional convenience features that may remember a choice after this policy and the inventory are updated. | No functional integration is currently declared; the consent record can store your choice without activating one. | Art. 4(5) of Law no. 506/2004 — prior consent; art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. | No functional identifier is currently set. |
| Marketing | Reserved for a future advertising integration, which may run only after this policy names it and you consent. | No advertising or marketing-cookie integration is currently declared. | Art. 4(5) of Law no. 506/2004 — prior consent; art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. | No marketing identifier is currently set. |
4. Consent and withdrawing it
You can change your choices at any time from the cookie banner or from your browser settings. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it and does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand.
The evo_consent cookie records the policy version, timestamp and category choices for up to 12 months. A changed policy version or a new purpose requires a new choice; server-side evidence is retained only in accordance with the privacy policy and implemented retention jobs.
5. Third-party cookies
The station map requests tiles from OpenStreetMap infrastructure when the map opens, so that provider receives ordinary web-request data even though no map cookie is declared here. Payment components are loaded only on the relevant charging or card page and are governed by the payment provider's policy. No embedded-video or advertising integration is currently declared.
6. Browser settings
You can block or delete cookies directly in your browser, usually from its privacy settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies can stop sign-in and protected forms from working; there is currently no shopping basket on this site.
