Overview
This website is operated by Mirela Bichigeanu, Bucharest, Romania. The website is intended primarily as an artistic and professional portfolio.
At the date of the latest update, the website is intended to use only cookies that are strictly necessary for its technical operation, security and management of cookie preferences.
The website does not currently intend to use advertising cookies, behavioural profiling cookies or social-media tracking pixels. Analytics or other optional technologies will not be activated without an appropriate consent mechanism.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, telephone or other device when you visit a website. They allow a website to remember certain information about your visit, browser or preferences.
Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, tags, scripts and other methods that store information on, or access information from, a visitor’s device.
Some cookies disappear when you close your browser. These are known as session cookies. Others remain for a defined period and are known as persistent cookies.
First-party cookies are set directly by the website you visit. Third-party cookies are set by an external service included on that website.

After the cookie banner is installed, the website will be scanned again. If analytics, embedded media or additional services are introduced, this declaration will be updated with their names, purposes, providers and retention periods.
Consent for optional cookies
Strictly necessary cookies may be used without consent because they are required to provide a function requested by the visitor or to operate and secure the website.
Functional, analytics, advertising and other non-essential cookies will only be stored or accessed after you have provided consent through the cookie banner.
Where optional cookies are available, the consent banner should allow you to:
- accept all optional cookies;
- reject all optional cookies;
- select individual cookie categories;
- continue using the website after rejecting optional cookies;
- change or withdraw your choice at a later time.
Refusing optional cookies will not prevent access to the main photographs, texts and portfolio pages.
Managing your preferences
Once the consent banner is active, you will be able to reopen the cookie settings through the permanent cookie-settings link or icon displayed on the website.
You may also delete or block cookies through your browser settings. The procedure depends on the browser and device you use. Browser controls usually allow you to:
- view cookies stored on your device;
- delete individual cookies or all stored cookies;
- block third-party cookies;
- block cookies from specific websites;
- block all cookies;
- delete cookies automatically when the browser closes.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect website security, preference management or certain technical functions.
External services and content
The website may contain links to Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, publications, institutions or other external websites. Following a normal external link does not place that third party’s cookies through mirelabichigeanu.ro. Once you visit the external website, its own cookie and privacy rules apply.
Certain website resources, such as externally hosted fonts, may involve a direct technical request to an external provider even where no cookie is stored. Such requests may include technical information such as an IP address, browser information and the requested resource.
If embedded videos, maps, social-media posts, analytics or other third-party services are added in the future, they will be assessed before activation. Where consent is required, they will remain blocked until consent has been provided.
Further information about the processing of personal data is available in the Privacy Policy .
Changes to this Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated when the website configuration, WordPress components, consent-management tool, embedded services or legal requirements change.
The current version will be published on this page together with the date of the latest update.
Cookies will be reviewed periodically and after significant changes to the website. The technical cookie table will be updated when additional cookies or similar technologies are identified.
