1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites function, to improve efficiency, and to provide information to the website operator. Cookies can be session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (remaining on your device for a defined period).
This policy describes the cookies used on the Falenza website at falenza.info, their purpose, duration, and how you can manage them.
2. Cookie Categories
Functional Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, form security tokens, and session state management. The website cannot operate correctly without these cookies.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| falenza_session | User session identification | Session |
| falenza_csrf | Form security token | Session |
| falenza_consent | Stores cookie consent preference | 12 months |
Analytical Cookies
These cookies collect anonymised information about how visitors use the website — which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on a page, and where visitors arrive from. The data helps us understand usage patterns and improve the site. No personally identifiable information is collected by analytical cookies.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique users (anonymised) | 24 months |
| _ga_* | Maintains session state for analytics | 24 months |
| _gid | Distinguishes users within a 24-hour window | 24 hours |
Preference Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make — such as language preference or display settings — so you do not need to re-enter them on subsequent visits. Preference cookies do not track browsing activity across other websites.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| falenza_lang | Stores language preference (EN/RO) | 6 months |
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. These include:
- Google Fonts: requests to Google Fonts servers may result in Google logging the request. No cookie is placed directly by Google Fonts, but IP addresses are transmitted. Google's privacy policy applies.
- Google Maps (contact page): the embedded map on our contact page is served by Google and may set cookies in accordance with Google's cookie policy. Acceptance of analytical cookies is required for the map embed to activate.
- CDN providers (jsDelivr, unpkg, Cloudflare): JavaScript and CSS libraries are loaded from these CDNs. CDN providers may log request data. No user-identifying cookies are placed by these requests.
Falenza does not control the cookies set by these third parties. We recommend reviewing their respective privacy and cookie policies for complete information.

In addition to the consent interface on this website, all major web browsers allow you to manage cookies directly through browser settings. You can typically block all cookies, delete existing cookies, or configure the browser to notify you when a cookie is being placed.
Note that blocking all cookies — including functional cookies — will impair the operation of this website. Contact form submissions and session continuity may not function correctly if functional cookies are blocked at the browser level.
Browser cookie settings are typically found under Privacy, Security, or Advanced sections of the browser preferences. Refer to your browser's help documentation for specific instructions.
6. Legal Framework
This cookie policy is maintained in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Romanian Law 190/2018 on the implementation of GDPR, and the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC as amended). Consent for non-essential cookies is obtained before those cookies are placed on your device.
For broader information on how Falenza handles personal data, including your rights under GDPR, please read our Privacy Policy.
