The website https://remcluj2027.com uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure the technical functioning of the website, to facilitate the registration of participants for REM Transylvania 2027, to manage users’ preferences, to analyse how the website is used and, where applicable, to enable the integration of services provided by third parties, such as online forms, payment processors, multimedia content, analytics tools or social media platforms.

The data controller in relation to website users is the Rotaract Cetățuie Cluj-Napoca Association, with its registered office in Cluj-Napoca, 22 Viilor Street, Block 6D, Block 1, 4th Floor, Flat 9, Cluj County, with tax identification number 37765401, hereinafter referred to as the ‘Controller’.

The use of non-essential cookies is subject solely to the user’s consent, expressed via the preference management tool available on the website. Cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function may be used without consent, as they are essential for providing the service requested by the user.

A cookie is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, stored on the user’s computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device when they access a website. The cookie is installed via a request sent by the website’s server to the browser being used and enables the website to recognise the device, remember certain preferences or facilitate the operation of online services.

Cookies are passive; they do not contain software, viruses or spyware, and cannot directly access information stored on the user’s hard drive. However, depending on how they are configured, cookies or similar technologies may result in the processing of personal data, such as online identifiers, IP addresses, device information or browsing behaviour.

The website may use cookies for the following purposes:

• to ensure the technical functioning, security and accessibility of the website;
• to display pages, registration forms and the components required to purchase participation packages correctly;
• to remember the user’s preferences, such as language, cookie settings or other technical options;
• analysing traffic and website usage in order to improve the user experience and the functioning of the platform;
• integrating third-party services, such as payment processors, online forms, maps, multimedia content, social media tools or analytics tools;
• preventing fraud, unauthorised access and misuse of the website.

Depending on their duration, cookies can be session cookies, which are deleted when the browser is closed, or persistent cookies, which remain stored on the device until they expire or are deleted by the user.

Depending on the entity that sets them, cookies may be first-party cookies, set by the REM Transylvania 2027 website, or third-party cookies, set by external providers integrated into the website, such as analytics providers, payment services, social media platforms, video/hosting tools or other technical services.

Depending on their purpose, the website may use the following categories of cookies:

• strictly necessary cookies, which are essential for the website to function, for security, session management, the display of forms and the registration process;
• preference cookies, used to remember the options selected by the user, including language preferences or consent to cookies;
• analytics/statistics cookies, used to understand how users interact with the website and to improve content and functionality;
• marketing/social media cookies, used only if they are integrated and accepted by the user, to display or distribute relevant content, measure the effectiveness of campaigns or integrate social media platforms.

Strictly necessary cookies are used exclusively to transmit a communication over an electronic communications network or to provide a service expressly requested by the user, such as accessing the website, completing the registration form, maintaining the security of the connection, or carrying out the technical operations necessary for the purchase of packages.

These cookies cannot be disabled via the consent mechanism on the website, as without them the website or certain essential features would not be able to function. The user can block them via their browser settings, but this may affect the functioning of the website and the ability to complete the registration process.

Analytics, advanced preferences, marketing, social media or other cookies that are not strictly necessary will only be used if the user has given their consent by accepting them in the cookie banner or in the preferences management panel.

The user may accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies or configure their preferences by category, provided the website offers this functionality. Consent may be withdrawn or amended at a later date, without affecting the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.

Certain sections of the website or certain integrated services may be provided by third parties, such as payment processing providers, form services, analytics tools, hosting services, multimedia content, maps, social media platforms or other digital tools. These third parties may set their own cookies or similar technologies, subject to their own privacy and cookie policies.

The Controller does not have full control over how third parties configure their own cookies; we therefore recommend that you consult the policies of the relevant providers. To the extent that these providers act as the Controller’s data processors, processing is carried out in accordance with documented instructions and the applicable agreements.

Data processed via cookies may include, depending on the website’s settings and the user’s consent, the IP address, online identifiers, browser type, device type, operating system, date and time of access, pages visited, duration of the visit, preferences expressed and information regarding interaction with the website.

This data is used for the purposes described in this Policy and in the Privacy Policy, and is not used for automated identification, sensitive profiling or automated decisions that have legal effects on the user.

The lifespan of a cookie may vary depending on the purpose for which it is set. Some cookies are used exclusively for the duration of a browsing session and are deleted when the browser is closed, whilst other cookies may be retained for a specified period, until they expire or until they are deleted by the user. The specific duration of the cookies used will be indicated, where possible, in the preferences management panel or in the list of cookies available on the website.

You can control the use of cookies via the consent mechanism available on the website and via the settings of your browser. All modern browsers allow you to block, delete or restrict cookies, usually via the ‘Settings’, ‘Options’, ‘Preferences’, ‘Privacy’ or ‘Security’ menus.

Blocking all cookies, including those that are strictly necessary, may affect the functioning of the website and may prevent you from accessing certain features, completing the registration form, finalising payment or benefiting from the services requested.

To ensure safe browsing, we recommend regularly updating your browser, using appropriate privacy settings, avoiding unsecured networks and regularly deleting cookies, particularly when the device is used by more than one person.

If you believe that the website is using cookies inappropriately or if you would like further information, you can contact us at the address given below.

This Cookies Policy may be updated as a result of changes to the website, the technical tools used, the integrated providers or the applicable legislation. The updated version will be published on the website and will take effect from the date of publication, unless a later date is specified.
