Cookie policy

The website www.onenailacademy.com uses its own and third-party cookies to provide visitors with a much better browsing experience and services tailored to each person’s needs and interests.

Cookies play an important role in facilitating access to and delivering the multiple services that users enjoy on the Internet, such as:

Personalizing certain settings, such as the language in which the site is viewed, the currency in which certain prices or fees are expressed, and retaining preferences regarding courses viewed or added to the cart (and remembering these options). Cookies provide website owners with valuable feedback on how users use their websites, enabling them to make them more efficient and accessible to users. They allow multimedia or other types of applications from other websites to be included in a particular site to create a more valuable, useful, and enjoyable browsing experience; they improve the effectiveness of online advertising.

What is a “cookie”

A cookie is a small text file stored on a user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment used to access the Internet.

A cookie is completely “passive” (it does not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and cannot access information on the user’s hard drive).

Cookies themselves do not request personal information in order to be used and, in most cases, do not personally identify Internet users.

Main categories of cookies

There are 2 main categories of cookies:

Session cookies – these are temporarily stored in the web browser’s cookie folder so that it can remember them until the user leaves the respective website or closes the browser window (e.g., when logging in to or out of the course access account).

Persistent cookies – these are stored on a computer’s or device’s hard drive (generally depending on the cookie’s predetermined lifespan). Persistent cookies also include those placed by a website other than the one being visitedthe user at that time – known as “third-party cookies” (cookies placed by third parties) – which can be used anonymously to remember a user’s interests so that advertising as relevant as possible can be delivered to users.

What are the benefits of cookies

A cookie contains information that links a web browser (the user) to a specific web server (the website). If a user accesses that website again, it can read the information already stored and respond accordingly. Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience and support the website's efforts to provide convenient services to users (e.g., online privacy preferences, website language options, course access account, or relevant advertising).

What is the lifespan of a cookie

Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifespan of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are used exclusively for a single session (session cookies) and are no longer retained once the user has left the website, while some cookies are retained and reused each time the user returns to that website (“persistent cookies”). However, cookies can be deleted by a user at any time through the browser settings.

What are cookies placed by third parties

Certain sections of content on some websites may be provided through third parties/providers (e.g., a video or an advertisement). These third parties may also place cookies through the website, and these are called “third-party cookies” because they are not placed by the owner of that website. Third-party providers must also comply with applicable law and the privacy policies of the website owner.

Cookies for visitor analytics

Each time a user visits this website, the third-party analytics software generates a user analysis cookie. This cookie tells us whether you have visited this website before. Your browser will tell us whether you have this cookie, and if not, we will generate one. This allows us to monitor the unique users who visit us and how often they do so. As long as you are not registered on this website, this cookie cannot be used to identify individuals; it is used only for statistical purposes. If you are registered (you have an account created after purchasing a course), we may also know the details you have provided to us, such as your email address—these are subject to confidentiality and the provisions of the Terms and Conditions, Usage Policy, and applicable legislation concerning the protection of personal data.

Geotargeting cookies

These cookies are used by software that determines which country you come from. It is completely anonymous and is used only to target content.

Registration cookies

When you create your account (automatically generated after purchasing an online course), we generate a cookie that tells us whether or not you are logged in. Our servers use these cookies to allow you access to the courses you have purchased and to verify whether you have permission to access a particular course. If you have not selected “keep me logged in,” this cookie will be automatically deleted when you close your browser or computer.

Advertising cookies

These cookies allow us to find out whether or not you have viewed an online advertisement, what type it is, and how much time has passed since you saw the advertising message. We use these cookiesWe also use them to target online advertising. We may also use third-party cookies for better advertising targeting. These cookies are anonymous; they store information about the content viewed, not about users. We also set anonymous cookies through other websites where we advertise. By receiving them, we can use them to recognize you as a visitor to that site. If you later visit our website, we can deliver advertising to you based on this information.

Advertising provider cookies

Some of the advertising you find on this website belongs to third parties.

The companies that generate these cookies have their own privacy policies, and this website has no access to read or write these cookies.

Other third-party cookies

On some pages, third parties may set their own anonymous cookies to track the success of an application or customize an application. For example, when you share an article using the social media button on this website, that social network will record your activity.

Why cookies are important for the Internet

Cookies are central to the efficient functioning of the Internet, helping create a user-friendly browsing experience tailored to each user's preferences and interests. Refusing or disabling cookies may make some websites impossible to use. Refusing or disabling cookies does not mean that you will stop receiving online advertising—it only means that it will no longer be able to take your preferences and interests, as indicated by your browsing behavior, into account.

Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require user authentication through an account):

Content and services tailored to users' preferences. Offers tailored to users' interests—remembering passwords and language preferences (e.g., displaying search results in Romanian). Limiting ad frequency—the number of times an ad is displayed to a particular user on a website. Providing more relevant advertising to the user. Measuring, optimizing, and analytics features—such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed, and how a user arrives at a website. The website conducts these analyses of its use to improve it for users' benefit.Security and privacy issues

Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain-text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code, so they cannot be executed or run automatically. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate across other networks to run again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.

In general, browsers have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance: validity periods and automatic deletion after the user has visited a particular website. Since identity protection is very valuable and represents every Internet user’s right, it is advisable to understand what issues cookies may cause.

Tips for safe and responsible browsing based on cookies

Because of their flexibility and the fact that most of the most visited websites use cookies, they are almost unavoidable.

Here are some tips to ensure that you can browse worry-free with the help of cookies:

Customize your browser’s cookie settings to reflect a level of cookie-use security that you are comfortable with.

If cookies do not bother you and you are the only person using the computer, you can set long expiration periods for storing browsing history and personal access data.

If you share access to the computer, you may consider configuring your browser to delete individual browsing data every time you close the browser.

Install and regularly update antispyware applications. Make sure your browser is always up to date.

How can I disable cookies?

Disabling and refusing to receive cookies may make certain features of our website (such as accessing your account and purchased courses) impractical or difficult to use. Refusing to accept cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive or see online advertising.

You can configure your browser so that these cookies are no longer accepted, or set it to accept cookies from a specific website.

All modern browsers offer the option to change cookie settings. Usually, these settings can be found under the browser’s “options” or “preferences” menu.To understand these settings, the following links may be helpful; otherwise, you can use your browser’s “help” option for more details.
