Cookie Policy

Complete information about cookies and similar technologies used on the Cargo Stelia website, their purposes and the choices available to you.

Last updated: 31 July 2026 · Read together with the Privacy Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small files, consisting of letters and numbers, stored on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit a website. Cookies allow the site to recognise the device, maintain a secure session, remember preferences or understand how pages are used.

In this policy, the term “cookie” also includes similar technologies, such as local browser storage (localStorage), when used for consent preferences or equivalent functionality.

2. Who uses cookies on this website

Cookies on https://cargostelia.com are used by Cargo Stelia S.R.L., as the website operator. Full contact details appear in the Privacy Policy.

3. How we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • ensure the website works correctly and securely;
  • protect contact forms against abuse (including a CSRF token on the session);
  • maintain the authenticated user session in the administration area;
  • remember the cookie consent preference;
  • improve browsing experience, to the extent optional tools are enabled based on consent.

4. Types of cookies

4.1. By duration

  • Session cookies — usually deleted when the browser is closed;
  • Persistent cookies — remain stored for a set period or until manually deleted.

4.2. By purpose

  • Strictly necessary (essential) — indispensable for website operation, security and remembering the cookie choice;
  • Preference / functional — remember choices that improve experience;
  • Analytics / statistical — help us understand how the website is used (if/when enabled);
  • Marketing — used for campaigns and measurement (only if enabled and only with consent).

5. Cookies and technologies currently used

As of the date of this policy, the Cargo Stelia website mainly uses cookies / storage that are essential for operation and security. Detailed overview:

Name / technology Type Purpose Duration Legal basis
PHPSESSID (or equivalent session cookie) Essential Maintains the server-side session required for form security (CSRF) and admin panel authentication Session Legitimate interest / technical necessity
cargo_stelia_cookie_choice_v1 (localStorage) Essential / preference Stores the choice from the cookie banner (“Accept” or “Essential only”), so the banner is not shown on every visit Until deleted from the browser Consent / legitimate interest in remembering the choice
CSRF token (in session) Essential Protects forms against forged requests from other websites Session Legitimate interest / security

At present, the website does not enable by default third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) or marketing tools (such as advertising pixels). If such tools are introduced later, this policy will be updated, and those cookies will be used only after obtaining consent where the law requires it.

6. Consent banner

On the first visit (or after the preference is deleted), the website displays a cookie banner with the following options:

  • Accept — you confirm the use of cookies under this policy, including optional cookies if/when available;
  • Essential only — continue browsing with strictly necessary cookies / technologies only;
  • Details — opens this Cookie Policy.

Your choice is saved locally in the browser under the key cargo_stelia_cookie_choice_v1. You can later change the option by deleting site data from the browser; on the next visit, the banner will appear again.

7. Essential cookies — why they cannot be fully refused

Certain cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function securely (for example, the session used for form protection). These do not require prior consent, but we inform you transparently about them. Without them, essential parts of the website (contact form, admin area) may not work correctly.

8. How you can manage cookies

8.1. From the website banner

Use the “Accept” or “Essential only” buttons. To reset your choice, delete site data / localStorage for https://cargostelia.com from your browser settings.

8.2. From browser settings

Most browsers allow you to:

  • block third-party cookies;
  • delete existing cookies;
  • be notified before a cookie is stored;
  • browse in private / incognito mode.

Disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality.

9. Legal basis

Cookie use is carried out in accordance with:

  • Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR);
  • Romanian Law No. 506/2004 on the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector;
  • ANSPDCP guidance and European practice on cookies and consent.

Strictly necessary cookies are based on legitimate interest / technical necessity. Optional cookies (analytics, marketing), if enabled, will be based on consent.

10. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when we introduce new technologies, change providers or when legislative changes occur. The current version is the one published on this page, with the last update date indicated above.
