Cookie Policy

A cookie is a small file that your browser stores when you visit a website. When you return to that site, your browser sends the cookies back, so the site recognizes you.

Cookies are harmless — they are not programs, do not execute themselves, and do nothing on your computer. They are just text data, words and numbers that websites read to give you a better service.

On the website partidulnostru.md, we use three categories of cookies:

• Essential — without them, the website cannot function. They do not depend on your consent.
• Analytics — they help us understand how the site is used. They depend on your consent.
• Marketing — they track the effectiveness of ads. They depend on your consent.

These cookies keep the website running. We cannot provide the service without them, so we do not ask your permission — they work anyway.

Cloudflare Turnstile: on pages with forms (contact, becoming a member, initiatives, staff reserve, personal data requests, donations, membership fees) and on the sign-in pages (account creation, sign in), Turnstile automatically checks, even before you make a choice, that the request comes from a person, not a script. On most pages the check is invisible — you see nothing; on donations and membership fees a small box appears that ticks itself and asks for a click only when it is unsure. It does not set tracking cookies in your browser, but makes connections to Cloudflare’s servers from the moment the page opens. This is part of the page’s security, not marketing.

Cloudflare’s own measurement: Cloudflare, which delivers the site’s pages, also keeps a count of pages opened — how many views, and how quickly the page loaded. It starts with the page, before any choice in this banner, and sets no cookies in your browser. We cannot switch it off from our own account. Detailed visit measurement is done by Google Analytics, only with your consent.

localStorage, not cookies: your consent choice (which categories you accepted) is stored in a local file on your computer, in the browser's localStorage, with the key pn_consent. It is different from a cookie and is not sent to the server — it stays on your computer and only your browser reads it.

We use Google Analytics to see how many people visit the site and which pages interest them. This helps us know whether our communication reaches people and what could be improved.

Google Analytics sets two cookies in your browser. Both are necessary to count visits correctly — if you accept analytics, you get both; if you refuse, neither is set.

In the same analytics category falls the Google Map on the Contact page — it only loads if you have accepted the category.

We use the Facebook pixel (loaded through Google Tag Manager) to see whether our Facebook ads reach people. The pixel sets two cookies in your browser; they are the same as those in ads, so Facebook knows you visited our site.

In the same marketing category falls the Facebook window on the homepage (live feed from our page) — it only loads if you have accepted the category.

You can change which categories you accept at any time — it is not permanent. There are four ways:

1. Open the consent banner again with the “Cookie Settings” button in the footer.
2. Go to the Cookie Settings page — a table with all cookies and toggles for each category.
3. Delete cookies manually from your browser settings — most browsers have a “Cookies” section where you can see and delete what you want.
4. Contact us at secretariat@partidulnostru.md to change your preference.

When you withdraw consent: if you take back permission for analytics or marketing, we delete the cookies of that category from your browser. Your browser does not tell us exactly which domain a cookie was set on — only that we have it — so we delete on all subdomains our scripts might use. If a cookie was set on an unusual domain, it may remain in your browser until it expires naturally (which is usually in a few months).

The website complies with Law No. 195/2024 on the Protection of Personal Data, which takes effect on August 23, 2026, and transposes Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).

• Essential cookies: are based on the legitimate interest of the website’s operation and security. They do not depend on your consent.
• Analytics and marketing cookies: are based solely on your consent. Without it, we cannot set them.

Google and Meta process these measurements on servers in the United States of America, under standard contractual clauses. Where the data goes, category by category, is set out in the Privacy Policy.

You have rights over your data — access, correction, deletion, portability. If you wish to exercise them, contact:

This policy may be updated when we add new cookies or when laws change. The “updated” date above shows when it was last modified. If the change is important, we will show you the banner again to get your consent.
