This policy explains what cookies are, which cookies are used by the website ctetrailers.ro, operated by CTE Trailers SRL, and how you can manage your options. It supplements the Privacy Notice.

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website sends to your browser to be stored on your device. On later visits, the site can read that file and remember information about you as a user: choices you’ve made, language preferences, whether you’ve passed a security check, etc.

Cookies set directly by our site are called first-party cookies. Some features use third-party services (like Google), which may set their own cookies; these are called third-party cookies and are governed by the privacy policies of those providers.

  • only with your consent, to understand how the site is used (pages visited, visit duration, traffic source) and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns, including personalized advertising.
