Cookies Policy

This Cookies Policy explains how NO CASH Events (“NO CASH”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the website www.nocashevents.ro (the “Website”).

By continuing to browse or use our Website after seeing a cookie banner or preferences panel, you consent to the placement of non-essential cookies as described in this Policy. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time (see Manage Your Cookie Preferences).

1) What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. On subsequent visits, the cookie is read by the website that set it (or by another website that recognizes it), allowing it to remember information such as your preferences, login state, or pages you viewed.

We also use technologies similar to cookies, such as local storage, session storage, pixels/tags, and scripts embedded in our pages (collectively, “cookies” in this Policy). These help us ensure the Website works correctly, measure performance, improve features, and deliver relevant content.

2) Who Is the Controller?

The controller responsible for processing personal data via cookies on the Website is NO CASH Events. If you have any questions, please see the Contact section below.

3) What Types of Cookies Do We Use?

We use the following categories of cookies on the Website:

• Essential (strictly necessary) cookies: Required for the Website to function, enable core features such as page navigation, secure areas, session management, and load balancing. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
• Performance/analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with the Website (e.g., pages visited, time on page, error messages). We use this information in aggregate to improve performance and user experience. Example providers include Google Analytics.
• Functionality cookies: Enable the Website to remember choices you make (such as language, region, layout) and provide enhanced, personalized features. In WordPress, some cookies remember your login state and editor preferences.
• Advertising/marketing cookies: May be set by us or our partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content or ads on this or other sites, and to measure the effectiveness of campaigns. Social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn) may set cookies when we embed their widgets or pixels.

4) Cookies Commonly Set by WordPress/Elementor

Because our Website runs on WordPress and uses Elementor, some cookies may be set to support login sessions, editor preferences, and page rendering. Examples include:

• wordpress_logged_in_[hash] (functionality/essential): remembers whether you are logged in and who you are.
• wordpress_sec_[hash] (essential): security/session cookie for logged-in users.
• wp-settings-[UID] and wp-settings-time-[UID] (functionality): stores admin/UI preferences for your WordPress user.
• elementor (functionality): may store information about page builder states and widget rendering for a better experience.

Note: The exact cookies present depend on your role (visitor vs. logged-in user), the plugins and widgets active on the site, and how pages are configured in Elementor.

5) Third-Party Cookies and Embedded Content

Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services on our Website, such as analytics, social media integrations, video hosting, and marketing tools. These may include (without limitation):

• Analytics: Google Analytics (aggregated usage statistics; may include IP anonymization settings).
• Social & Ads: Meta (Facebook) Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag (ad measurement, audience insights, remarketing).
• Video/Media Embeds: YouTube, Vimeo (to deliver and measure embedded media).

These third parties may combine data collected from our Website with data from other sites where they also operate. You can manage consent for these cookies via our preferences panel and through your browser settings.

6) Legal Basis for Using Cookies

For essential cookies, our legal basis is our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in delivering a secure, high-performing Website. For non-essential cookies (e.g., analytics, marketing), our legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which we request via a banner/preferences panel when you first visit the Website and which you can change at any time.

7) Manage Your Cookie Preferences

You can control cookies in several ways:

1. Cookie banner/preferences panel: Use the consent options shown on your first visit. To change your choices at any time, click the “Cookie Settings” link in the Website footer (this re-opens the preferences panel).
2. Browser settings: Most browsers let you block, delete, or be notified about cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality. For guidance, see aboutcookies.org.
3. Third-party opt-outs: Some providers offer their own opt-out tools (e.g., Google’s Ads Settings, Meta’s Ad Preferences). Your mobile device may also provide ad-tracking preference settings.

8) Cookie Retention Periods

Cookies remain on your device for different periods:

• Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies: remain until they expire or you delete them. Expiry periods vary by cookie (see the table below).

9) Representative Cookie List

The exact cookies in use can change over time as we update the Website and our vendors. The table below lists representative cookies you may encounter. We will update this table periodically.

10) International Data Transfers

Some third-party providers may process data in countries outside your country of residence. Where applicable, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) or other transfer mechanisms permitted by data protection laws.

11) Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. There is currently no common industry standard for responding to DNT. While we don’t currently respond to DNT signals, you can manage your cookie preferences using the methods described above.

12) Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, our services, or our use of cookies. We will post any changes on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
