The following information is presented in order to inform the user regarding the use of “cookies” in our site or in partner sites.
The www.espoirlatelier.com website uses its own and third-party cookies to provide visitors with an improved browsing experience and services adapted to everyone’s interests.
“Cookies” play an important role in adapting the website’s facilities to the users’ needs, such as:
- Customizing certain settings such as: keeping settings for various applications, keeping the options for various products (measurements, the language in which a site is viewed, the currency in which certain prices are expressed, other details, etc.) in the shopping cart (and memorizing these options) – thus generating the flexibility of the “shopping cart” (accessing old preferences by accessing the “forward” and “back” button to allow faster filling of forms, etc.);
- Providing website owners information on how the website is used by visitors, which allows the website content to be optimized over time;
- Allowing multimedia or other applications from other sites to be included in a certain site;
- Creating a more useful and pleasant browsing experience;
- Improve the effectiveness of online advertising.
Cookies provide site owners with valuable feedback on how their sites are used by users, so that they can make them even more efficient and accessible to users. Cookies also allow multimedia or other applications from other sites to be included in a certain site to create a more valuable, useful and enjoyable browsing experience and improve the effectiveness of online advertising.
What is a “cookie”?
The cookie ( “Internet Cookie” or “browser cookie” or “HTTP cookie” or simply “cookie”) is a small text file, consisting of letters and numbers, stored in the visitor’s computer, mobile phone or other equipment from which the Internet is accessed by the user. The cookie is set on request by a web server in a web browser (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer). In general, they are “passive” files and do not contain software programs, viruses or spyware.
A cookie is composed of two parts: the name and the value of the cookie. The lifetime of a cookie is limited. Only servers that can send cookies can access them when the user returns to the website associated with that server.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyze data about webpage traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

What is the lifespan of a cookie?
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 no longer retained by the user who has left the website, and some cookies are retained and reused every time the user returns to that website (cookie- permanent hours). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time through the browser settings.
What are cookies placed by third parties?
Certain sections of content on some sites may be provided through third parties/providers (eg news box, a video or an advertisement). These third parties can also place cookies through the website and they are called “third party cookies” because they are not placed by the owner of the respective website. Third party providers must also comply with applicable law and the privacy policies of the site owner.

Site performance cookies
This type of cookie remembers the user’s preferences on this site, so that there is no need to set them each time the site is visited. Examples: currency, volume settings for video player, video streaming speed with which the browser is compatible.
Visitor analysis cookies
Each time a user visits this site, analytics software provided by a third party generates a user analytics cookie. This cookie tells us if you have visited this site before. Your browser will tell us if you have this cookie, and if not, we will generate one. It allows tracking of unique users who visit us and how often they do so. As long as you are not registered on this site, this cookie cannot be used to identify individuals, they are only used for statistical purposes.
Cookies for geo-targeting
These cookies are used by a software that determines which country you come from. It is completely anonymous and is only used to target the content – even when you are on our page in Romanian or another language you receive the same advertisement.
Registration cookies
When you register on this site, we generate a cookie that tells us if you are registered or not. Our servers use these cookies to show us the account you are registered with and whether you have permission for a particular service. If you have not selected “keep me logged in”, this cookie will be automatically deleted when you close your browser or computer.
Cookies for advertising
These cookies allow us to find out whether you have viewed an online advertising, what type is it and how long it has been since you saw the advertising message. We also use these cookies to target online advertising. We may also use third-party cookies to better target advertising, for example to show weddings apparel if the user has recently visited an article on the site about weddings. These cookies are anonymous, they store information about the content viewed, not about the users. We also set anonymous cookies through other sites on which we advertise. By receiving them in this way, we can use them to recognize you as a visitor to that site if you subsequently visit our site, we can deliver advertising to you based on this information.
Advertising provider cookies
Much of the advertising you find on this site belongs to third parties. Some of these parties use their own anonymous cookies to analyze how many people have been exposed to an advertising message, or to see how many people have been exposed to the same advertisement more than once. The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies, and this site does not have access to read or write these cookies. Third-party cookies may be used to show you advertising on other sites as well, based on your browsing on this site.
How can I stop cookies?
Browsers offer the possibility to change cookie settings. Rejecting or disabling cookies may make certain sections of the website impossible to use. Also, refusing to accept cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive/see online advertising. It is possible to set the browser so that these cookies are no longer accepted or you can set the browser to accept cookies from a specific site. These settings can usually be found in the “Cookie Policy” -> “Preferences” menu.
Security and privacy issues
Cookies are not viruses, so they cannot be duplicated or replicated on other networks to run or replicate again. They store information about user preferences and browsing history and can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products mark cookies to be deleted during anti-virus/anti-spyware deletion/scanning procedures.
In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a certain site.
By means of cookies, information is constantly transmitted, in both directions, between the browser and the website. If an unauthorized person intervenes during data transmission, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted.
This can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (ex: an unsecured WiFi network).
L’ATELIER ESPOIR SRL does not assume responsibility for the loss of information due to errors or possible security problems of the server that hosts our website, or the actions of third parties.
