Cookie policy
Which cookies we use, why, and how to give or withdraw your consent.
Last updated: 22 October 2026.
This policy explains what cookies are, which cookies the GenieUs website uses (including the client account and the learner app), why we use them and how you can control your choices. Our use of cookies complies with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Romanian Law no. 506/2004 on privacy in electronic communications.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser when you visit it. They let the site work, remember your choices (for example, that you are logged in or the language you chose) and, if you agree, show us how the site is used.
Besides cookies, we also use similar technologies: the browser's local storage (localStorage) and the memory of the app installed on your phone (service worker). In this policy, we call all of them "cookies".
2. Types of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies. The site cannot work without them: login, form security, the chosen language, your cookie choice. They do not require your consent and cannot be switched off on the site, but you can block them in your browser (some parts of the site will then not work).
Statistics cookies. They help us understand how many visitors we have and which pages are read, so we can improve the site. We use them only with your consent. Until you accept, no statistics cookie is set and no Google script is loaded.
We do not use advertising, profiling or social media tracking cookies.
