This Cookie Policy explains how RBC Real Estate S.R.L. may use cookies, local storage, session storage, consent records, server logs and similar technologies on rbcrealestate.ro and related RBC REAL ESTATE Srl web pages.
2. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small files placed on a user's device to support website functionality, secure portal access, visitor preferences, analytics, fraud prevention or marketing, depending on the cookie category.

- Marketing, advertising and third-party technologies. Used only with consent and only where approved in writing by RBC Real Estate S.R.L.
4. Consent Standard
Strictly necessary and security technologies may operate because they are required for the website, portal and legal consent record to function. Optional cookies for analytics, preferences, marketing, advertising, profiling or third-party technologies must not be activated without clear information, a consent choice, a refusal option and the ability to change preferences later.
5. Third Parties and Cookies
Third parties may not place, read, use, receive or otherwise process cookies, similar identifiers or cookie-related personal data on rbcrealestate.ro without the written approval of RBC Real Estate S.R.L. Any approved provider must act only under RBC REAL ESTATE Srl instructions and must comply with the Privacy Policy, GDPR, ePrivacy rules, applicable international privacy standards and any signed data-processing agreement.
6. Managing Cookies
Visitors may accept all optional cookies, use essential cookies only or manage consent by category through the RBC REAL ESTATE Srl cookie preference tool. Preferences can be changed later from the Cookie Settings link in the footer. Browser settings may also block cookies, but disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect website and portal functionality.
Cookie choices are stored for up to 24 hours on the visitor's browser and device. The cookie notice may be shown again after 24 hours, when the visitor uses another browser or device, or when the public IP and browser/device signature used for the consent record changes.
For website administration, security and navigation reporting, RBC Real Estate S.R.L. may record technical navigation reports including page visited, timestamp, referrer, public IP address, available IP-location header, browser information, terminal/device and platform information, viewport, connection details, language, timezone, screen size and cookie-consent status. Cookie and navigation records are aggregated into a single PDF report sent no more than once per 24 hours to webmaster@rbcrealestate.ro. RBC REAL ESTATE Srl may use ipapi.co as an external IP geolocation provider to estimate the visitor's country, region, city, timezone, coordinates, ASN and network organisation from the public IP address. Reports are not made available to other third parties without written approval from RBC Real Estate S.R.L.
