Cookie policy for maglas.ro
This page explains cookies and similar technologies on www.maglas.ro, administered by Măglaș Alexandru – Law Office. Below you can find the inventory displayed through the cookie management tool and the area for managing your choices. This information concerns browsing the website. Accepting cookies does not engage a lawyer, sign an agreement or make a payment for legal services.

Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small file that a website may store in your browser. During a later visit, certain information may be read for a particular function, such as remembering a choice. Other technologies can also store or access information on a device. The rule does not depend only on a technology’s name: what matters is the information stored or read, who performs the operation and its purpose.
A script is a program that can carry out functions on a page. Its mere existence does not show that every operation requires the same consent. Content embedded from another provider can involve that provider’s own processing. An ordinary link differs from a resource loaded automatically. For a service displayed in the inventory, read its stated purpose, provider and available storage information, rather than inferring all its effects from the name of a plugin.

When your consent is required
As a general rule, Article 4(5) of Romanian Law 506/2004 requires the user’s agreement and clear, complete information before agreement to storing or accessing information on a device. The information must explain the purpose. Where third parties are allowed to store or access information, their general processing purpose and ways to delete information or refuse access are also relevant under that provision. The linked Romanian text is the official national source; this explanation is in English.
Article 4(6) defines two exceptions: operations carried out exclusively to transmit a communication through an electronic communications network, and operations strictly necessary to provide an information society service expressly requested by the user. A technical label such as functional or preferences does not replace this assessment. Describing statistics as anonymous does not, by itself, establish a general exception for every operation storing information on a device.
Where an operation also involves personal data, the General Data Protection Regulation applies as well. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous, indicated by a statement or a clear affirmative action. Continuing to browse or reading this policy should not be treated as acceptance of every purpose. An optional purpose requires assessment separately from the strictly necessary function that you request.
Sources and legal provisions: Romanian Law 506/2004 — storage and access on a device; Regulation (EU) 2016/679 — consent.
The cookie and service inventory
Complianz supplies the section below from the records managed for this website. It displays services, names and the available information about purposes and retention. Read the list together with the consent choices. An email, document-storage or professional-support provider mentioned in the privacy notice does not automatically become a service placing cookies in a visitor’s browser.
For a particular entry, consider the name, purpose, provider and displayed retention period together. A session duration differs from a period expressed in days or months. The inventory can change when website functions and configuration change. If information is missing, unclear or differs from what you observe in your browser, you can request clarification. An empty field should not be read as a promise of immediate deletion or unlimited retention.
Manage or withdraw your choices
Use the mechanism below for the available choices. Read the explanation of an optional purpose before confirming it. You can refuse consent for operations requiring it and change your choice later. Operations actually falling within a statutory exception for a strictly necessary service are distinct from those choices. The fact that a technical control does not allow a category to be disabled does not justify including every operation in that category.
For processing based on consent, withdrawal must be as easy as giving consent. Withdrawal takes effect for the future and does not retrospectively make unlawful processing that was lawful before withdrawal. Disabling a purpose and deleting files already stored are different operations. Check the choices available in the mechanism and your browser settings separately, rather than assuming that changing one setting necessarily performs both operations.
If the choices area does not appear or work, do not assume that its absence constitutes agreement. Check whether your browser is blocking scripts needed for the interface, and contact the law office about the problem. You do not need to send passwords, your complete browsing history or confidential case documents. The page address, approximate time and a description of the button or option that fails to respond are useful.

What you can control through your browser
Browsers generally offer settings to inspect and delete stored website data, block certain cookies and configure permissions. Menu names vary between browsers and versions, so use the help section of your application. Deleting website data may also remove a remembered consent choice. You may then need to make the choice again on a later visit, even where you had already set it previously.
Blocking all storage may affect some functions, but it does not automatically make an optional purpose necessary. If you use several devices, browsers or profiles, check choices in each context. A choice remembered in one browser should not be assumed to synchronise automatically across all the others. Browser settings complement the website mechanism; they do not replace the obligation to provide clear information before an operation requiring consent.

Personal data, contact and the separate engagement
For the controller’s identity, purposes and legal bases, recipients, transfers, retention and exercise of rights, read the privacy notice. You can send cookie-related questions to alexandru@maglas.ro.
For use of website materials and the distinction between an enquiry and engaging services, see the website terms. Initial contact is followed by a separately arranged agreement and payment. Digital materials are not sold separately through the website.
Frequently asked questions
Does refusing optional cookies reject a legal-services agreement?
No. Browsing choices and engaging legal services are separate matters. An enquiry is assessed separately, and the mandate and payment are arranged through the contractual relationship rather than by accepting a cookie banner.
Is every cookie labelled functional exempt from consent?
The label is insufficient. The actual operation must fall within one of the exceptions in Article 4(6) of Romanian Law 506/2004, including strict necessity for a service expressly requested by the user. A category name cannot replace examination of the operation and its purpose.
Does withdrawing consent automatically delete all previous data?
Withdrawal ends reliance on consent for future processing, subject to the applicable conditions. It does not retrospectively invalidate earlier lawful processing and is not the same operation as deleting every file or item of personal data. For personal-data rights, use the information and contact in the privacy notice.
Why is the list displayed through the cookie tool?
This lets you consult the records managed for the website alongside the consent choices. You can request clarification if a service description or duration is unclear. The cookie inventory should not be confused with the list of every provider used in the law office’s professional work.
