What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files that may be stored on the User’s terminal equipment (including, without limitation, computers, tablets and mobile devices) by the internet browser when visiting a website. These files enable the website to recognize the User’s device and to retain information relating to the user’s actions and preferences (such as language settings, login session data or other personalized configurations) over a specified period of time. Cookies are widely used to ensure the proper functioning and performance of the website, as well as to provide statistical, analytical and operational information to the website operator.
Certain cookies are placed directly by ROVENSA («first-party cookies»), whereas others are placed by third-party service providers operating through the ROVENSA website («third-party cookies»). Third-party cookies may enable the respective third parties to monitor and track the User’s browsing activity across multiple websites and digital platforms.
Under applicable data protection and electronic communications legislation, the storage of information on, and access to information already stored in, a User’s terminal equipment requires the user’s prior consent, based on clear and complete information about the purposes of the processing. This requirement does not apply to cookies that are strictly necessary for the provision of a service expressly requested by the user.
All cookies other than those classified as strictly necessary – including, without limitation, analytics cookies, targeting cookies and third-party cookies – shall only be placed on, or information retrieved from, the user’s terminal equipment after the user has provided prior, informed and freely given consent. No non-essential cookies shall be activated or deployed prior to the provision of such consent through the cookie consent mechanism.
How Are Cookies Used?
In order to ensure the proper technical functioning of this website, certain technical data – including, without limitation, the type of internet browser used (e.g., Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox), the operating system of the terminal equipment (e.g., Windows), and the domain name of the user’s internet service provider – is automatically collected by means of strictly necessary cookies. Such data collection is carried out without the need for prior consent, insofar as it is essential for the provision of the service expressly requested by the user.
Where additional information is collected through the use of analytics or targeting cookies, such processing shall only take place after the user has provided prior, informed and freely given consent through the cookie consent mechanism referred to in Section 7 below.
Cookies Management
ROVENSA provides a Cookie Settings panel, accessible by clicking the button located in the lower-left corner of every page of this website. Through this panel, Users may at any time:
- View the categories of cookies in use;
- Grant or refuse consent for the activation of non-essential cookies, organized by category (including performance cookies and targeting/third-party cookies); and
- Withdraw previously granted consent in respect of any or all non-essential cookie categories, at any time and without any detriment to the User.
The withdrawal of consent shall take effect immediately and on a prospective basis, applying solely to future data collection and processing operations. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to its withdrawal.
Without prejudice to the foregoing, all internet browsers permit Users to accept, refuse or delete cookies through their respective configuration settings. Please note, however, that managing cookies through the browser may affect the User’s experience across multiple websites, not solely those operated by ROVENSA. Users may configure cookies preferences through the «options» or «preferences» menu of their respective browser. For further information about cookies, Users may consult www.allaboutcookies.org, where they can find information on how to manage cookie settings on various browser providers.
Type of cookies used in our websites
The ROVENSA website uses different categories of cookies, as described below:
- Strictly necessary cookies (required) – these cookies are essential for the proper technical functioning of the website and cannot be disabled without impairing its intended operation. These cookies do not store personal data beyond what is strictly required for their technical function and are not used to identify or track individual Users.
- Performance cookies (subject to consent) – these cookies are used to collect data on individual website usage and performance, which is subsequently processed on an aggregated basis, thereby enabling ROVENSA to monitor and improve the User experience.
- Targeting cookies (subject to consent) – these cookies are used to build a profile of User interests and browsing behavior, enabling the display of personalized advertisements and content tailored to the User’s preferences.
Performance and Targeting cookies are non-essential and are disabled by default. They are only activated if the User expressly chooses to enable them through the Cookie Settings panel, accessible via the cookie settings button permanently available in the lower-left corner of every page of this website.
The User’s refusal to activate Performance cookies and/or Targeting cookies does not affect access to, navigation of, or functionality of this website in any way. All services and functionalities of the website remain fully available to the User regardless of the User’s cookie preferences.
Among the Performance cookies used on this website are Google Analytics cookies, an analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, which collects data relating to individual website usage and User interactions. Such data is subsequently processed and presented on an aggregated basis, thereby enabling ROVENSA to monitor and improve the User experience for the purposes of continuous website improvement.
If the User consents to the activation of Performance cookies, Google Analytics cookies will be deployed on the User’s device. The data collected through these cookies may entail international transfers of personal data by Google Ireland Limited to third-party service providers established outside the European Economic Area, namely Google LLC, based in the United States of America.
If the User consents to the installation of Targeting cookies, data collected through such cookies may be processed by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, or by YouTube, a video hosting platform operated by Google Ireland Limited, and may be transferred to third-party service providers established outside the European Economic Area, namely LinkedIn Corporation and Google LLC, both based in the United States of America.
These transfers may be carried out on the basis of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, established pursuant to the European Commission’s adequacy decision of 10 July 2023, which recognizes that the United States of America ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the European Union to certified organizations in the United States, in accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR.
Both Google LLC and LinkedIn Corporation are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. The User may verify the current certification status of these organizations at the following links: Google LLC (https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780) and LinkedIn Corporation (https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5448).
For further information on the data protection and privacy practices of these providers, the User may consult their respective privacy policies at the following links: Google (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy).

Cookies Previously Set
Upon the withdrawal of consent in respect of one or more cookie categories, the cookies concerned shall cease to be used for the collection of further information from the user’s terminal equipment. Data lawfully collected prior to the withdrawal of consent may continue to be processed where a distinct legal basis exists for such processing (e.g. for the purposes of producing anonymized and aggregated statistical analyses), as the withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent given prior to its withdrawal.
In order to delete cookies previously stored on the user’s terminal equipment, the user may clear the cookie history through the respective browser settings or, alternatively, withdraw consent via the Cookie Settings panel and subsequently remove the relevant cookies through the browser’s configuration options.

Users are advised to consult the help or support section of their browser for instructions on how to activate private browsing mode or to manage the acceptance or rejection of specific cookies.
Users are hereby informed that the refusal or deletion of strictly necessary cookies may result in the partial or total impairment of the website’s functionality and navigation experience.

Consent
By default, the ROVENSA website deploys only strictly necessary cookies on the user’s terminal equipment. No analytics, targeting or third-party cookies are placed on, or information retrieved from, the user’s terminal equipment unless the user has actively chosen to enable them through the cookie consent mechanism described below.
Users may enable non-essential cookies at any time by accessing the Cookie Settings panel, which is permanently available via the button located in the lower-left corner of every page of this website.
The Cookie Settings panel provides the user with the following options:
- «Accept All» – enables all non-essential cookies across all categories;
- «Reject All» – refuses all non-essential cookies across all categories, without prejudice to the continued use of strictly necessary cookies; or
- «Save My Preferences» – enables the user to accept or refuse cookies on an individual category basis.
The activation of a given cookie category through the Cookie Settings panel constitutes the user’s prior, informed and freely given consent to the placement and use of the cookies comprised therein, for the purposes described in Section 3.1 above.
The closure of the Cookie Settings panel without the user having made an active selection is not construed as consent; accordingly, no non-essential cookies are activated or deployed in such circumstances.
Users may withdraw consent or modify their preferences at any time by returning to the Cookie Settings panel through the same button. The withdrawal of consent shall take effect immediately and on a prospective basis, applying solely to future data collection and processing operations, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to its withdrawal.
In order to delete cookies previously stored on the User’s terminal equipment, the User may clear the cookie history through the respective browser settings, in accordance with Section 5 above.
