Cookie Policy
Last updated: 29 July 2026
This Cookie Policy explains which cookies and similar storage technologies BENTIL S.R.L. (registered office: Int. Alba, Nr. 1, Ap. 1, Odorheiu Secuiesc, Harghita County, Romania; VAT no. RO50879861; hereinafter "BENTIL", "we") uses on the website bentil.ro, for what purposes, and how you can control them.
1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website places in your browser, allowing the site to recognise your browser and remember certain settings. A related technology is the browser's local storage (localStorage), where data is kept exclusively on your device and is not automatically transmitted to the server.
2. Important notice up front
bentil.ro uses no advertising, marketing or third-party tracking cookies. We do not use Google Analytics or any other external web-analytics service. The website relies solely on cookies that are strictly necessary for its operation, plus a single functional (convenience) storage item.
3. Cookies and storage items we use
| Name | Purpose | Type | Storage period |
|---|---|---|---|
| bentil_session | Session identification: maintaining session state and your selected language. Session data is stored in a server-side database. | Strictly necessary (first-party cookie) | 120 minutes |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Security: protection against cross-site request forgery (CSRF). | Strictly necessary (first-party cookie) | Session (120 minutes) |
| darkMode | Remembering your chosen light/dark display mode. This value never leaves your browser. | Functional (localStorage) | Until deleted |
| Cookie-consent state | Recording your cookie choice; to be able to demonstrate consent, your decision is also logged server-side together with the consent version. | Strictly necessary | For as long as your choice is retained, and thereafter as required for legal accountability |
4. Legal basis
The use of strictly necessary cookies is based on our legitimate interest in operating the website and on the "strictly necessary" exemption under the ePrivacy rules; no consent is required for these. The functional storage item (darkMode) is set only as a result of your own explicit action, serves your convenience, and transmits no data to us whatsoever.
5. Third-party services that do not use cookies
For the sake of transparency, we also inform you about external connections that are not cookies but may involve data transfers:
- Fonts: All fonts are served locally from our own server (self-hosting); no connections to Google servers are made.
- Cloudflare Turnstile: spam protection for the contact form (Cloudflare, Inc., USA) — processes technical connection data, sets no advertising cookies. Details in the privacy policy.
- WhatsApp: the WhatsApp links on the website (wa.me, Meta) are plain hyperlinks; we use no embeds, and data is transferred only if you click the link.
- AI chat: when you use the AI-powered chat feature, your messages are transmitted to Anthropic PBC (USA). For details, see our Privacy Policy.
6. First-party, cookieless analytics
Website traffic is measured exclusively with our own, self-built, cookieless solution. In this process the IP address is irreversibly hashed using the SHA-256 algorithm; we do not use any third-party analytics provider.
7. Managing and deleting cookies
You can delete cookies or block their placement at any time in your browser settings. Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may impair certain website functions (e.g. language selection, secure form submission). The darkMode value in localStorage can be removed by clearing the site data in your browser.
8. Contact and changes
We may update this policy from time to time; the current version is always available on this page. If you have any questions, please contact us at office@bentil.ro or by phone at +40 743 676 713.
