ABOUT COOKIES
In all member countries of the European Union (EU), starting from 25.05.2018, Regulation 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons regarding the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, also known under the acronym GDPR, becomes applicable (General Data Protection Regulation).
The GDPR strengthens the old legislation and makes it uniform across all EU countries. In Romania, there is currently Law 677/2001 for the protection of individuals regarding the processing of personal data and their free circulation, whose provisions have already been applied by SIMONA SPAN. In the contractual documents, the references to Law 677/2001 will be replaced with mentions regarding the GDPR.
