Cookies Policy
Last updated: April 14, 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookies Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies are used by the PriceDropSignal service ("Service") operated by GD CLOUD COMPANY S.R.L. ("Company", "we", "us", or "our"). This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give information to the site operator.
3. Strictly Necessary Cookies
The following cookies are essential for the Service to function. They do not require your consent under the ePrivacy Directive because they are strictly necessary for providing the Service you have requested.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
pricedropsignal_session |
Maintains your authenticated session so you can navigate the Service without logging in on each page. The session data (session ID, IP address, user-agent) is stored on our server; only a session identifier is stored in this cookie. | Strictly necessary | 2 hours (or until browser close) |
XSRF-TOKEN |
Protects against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. This is a security measure that ensures form submissions originate from our Service and not from a malicious third party. | Strictly necessary | 2 hours |
remember_web_* |
Keeps you logged in between browser sessions if you select "Remember me" during login. Only set with your explicit action. | Strictly necessary (functional) | 5 years (or until you log out) |
4. Analytics Cookies (Consent Required)
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the Service, which pages are most popular, and how the Service can be improved. These cookies are only set after you give explicit consent via our cookie consent banner. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set and no data is sent to Google.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Provider | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
Distinguishes unique visitors by assigning a randomly generated identifier. Used to calculate visitor, session, and campaign data for analytics reports. | Google Analytics | 2 years |
_ga_G-3SYC9TS8ZY |
Maintains session state for Google Analytics 4. Records page views and interactions during your browsing session. | Google Analytics | 2 years |
Google Analytics collects data such as pages visited, time spent on pages, browser type, and general geographic region (country/city level). IP anonymization is enabled, so your full IP address is not stored by Google. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy. You can also install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data across all websites.
5. Cookies We Do Not Use
For transparency, we confirm that we do not use:
- Advertising or remarketing cookies (e.g., Google Ads, Facebook Pixel);
- Social media cookies (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn widgets);
- Third-party tracking cookies beyond the analytics cookies described above.
6. Third-Party Services
We use Bunny Fonts (bunny.net) to serve web fonts. Bunny Fonts is an EU-based, GDPR-compliant font delivery service that is specifically designed as a privacy-friendly alternative. It does not set cookies and does not track or log visitors.
7. Legal Basis
Under the ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC) and its implementation in Romanian law (Law No. 506/2004):
- Strictly necessary cookies (section 3) do not require user consent because they are essential for the Service to function and are explicitly requested by you (e.g., logging in, submitting forms).
- Analytics cookies (section 4) require your explicit consent under both the ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR (Art. 6(1)(a)). They are only loaded after you click "Accept" on our cookie consent banner. You may withdraw your consent at any time.
8. How to Manage Cookies
Cookie Consent Banner
When you first visit the Service, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the page. You can choose to Accept (enables analytics cookies) or Decline (no analytics cookies are set). Your choice is saved in your browser's local storage and the banner will not appear again.
To change your preference, clear your browser's local storage for this site (or clear all site data in your browser settings), and the consent banner will appear again on your next visit.
Browser Settings
You can also control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are stored on your device;
- Delete individual or all cookies;
- Block cookies from specific or all websites;
- Set preferences for first-party vs. third-party cookies.
Please note that disabling or blocking our strictly necessary cookies will prevent the Service from functioning correctly — you will not be able to log in or use any authenticated features.

9. Changes to This Policy
