For the use of any other cookies and similar technologies, we would need your explicit consent as a basis under Art. 6, para. 1, b. “a” of the General Data Protection Regulation.

Before providing you with information about the specific cookies and other technologies and tools we may use, we consider it necessary to provide you with the following general information.

„Cookies“ are small text files containing small amounts of information and are stored on your computer or in the memory of your web browser. Your web browser then sends these cookies back to our website on each subsequent visit, helping the website to recognize you and store information about your user preferences (visits, clicks, activity history). The use of the collected cookies is very limited and is most often used to track website behavior, which helps to optimize the user experience of the website, as well as to prevent abuse and fraudulent use of the website. Cookies are only associated with an anonymous user and their computer; they do not provide links that allow misuse of your personal data.

Types of Cookies.
Depending on the time they are attached to your device’s browser, cookies can be divided into *session cookies – they exist as long as the communication between the user’s browser and the website lasts and are deleted after the user closes the browser, or *persistent/tracking – continue to exist after closing the browser until a certain date or validity period, or when manually deleted. The storage period of cookies is a maximum of 5 years according to the international NAI standards, which you can read about at https://www.networkadvertising.org/.

Depending on their origin, cookies can be divided into *1st party cookies – set by the website you are visiting, or *3rd party cookies – set by providers other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, as well as other tracking tools set by such providers, allow the provision of features or

functionalities of these providers on or through the website you are visiting or the service you are using (for example, advertising, interactive content and analytics). The providers that set these cookies can recognize your device and web browser, both when you visit the relevant website or service and when you visit other websites or services. The hosting website does not have access to third-party cookies, nor do third-party organizations have access to it.

Depending on their purpose (purpose), cookies are usually divided into the following categories:
*strictly necessary cookies – they are essential for the proper functioning of the website and cannot be switched off in its systems. They are usually generated when you log in to the website and are used to identify you as a user of the website in order to continue to recognize you as such, but they do not store information that can identify your identity – if you leave the website, browser or device and return to the website at another time, they will continue to recognize you, thus facilitating your surfing on the Internet without the need to identify yourself again. They can be blocked by the user, but then some parts of the website will not work or will not work fully.

*Non-necessary cookies, i.e. those that, without being strictly necessary, are used by most websites to facilitate your browsing and improve the quality of the service provided to you through the website. If you do not allow or terminate the use of these cookies, it is possible that some or all of the website’s services may not work properly. Usually, the information that these cookies collect is aggregated and you cannot be directly identified. In turn, these cookies can be distinguished as:
**functional cookies – these aim to enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization by remembering the choices you make (for example, your username or identification, your choice of language, or the region or area where you are located);

**Performance cookies (for analysis and statistics) – they aim to improve the service provided to the user by enabling the provider to measure the number of visits and traffic, to understand which pages are the most and least popular, to see how and for how long visitors move around the website and/or its subpages, and whether they have clicked on a link; if you do not allow these cookies, the provider of the website you are visiting will not know when you have visited the website and will not be able to monitor its performance and improve your experience; an established practice that has become a necessity is to use tracking services and tools from Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics and other reputable providers to achieve these goals;

**cookies and codes for precise targeting and advertising – these are cookies and similar technologies, which are usually set by reputable external service providers such as Google, Adobe, etc., are used mainly for analytical purposes to collect usually anonymous information about the number of users of the website and the most popular pages, but sometimes also to recognize you as a user uniquely and unambiguously, in order to obtain information about which services provided by the website are of interest to you as a user. These cookies and codes can be placed in the advertisement or elsewhere on the website. They are usually used for statistical analysis, allowing to count how many people have seen a relevant advertisement or have seen it more than once, and can also allow to adapt the advertisement to your preferences when you visit other websites.

  • Strictly necessary
    Strictly necessary cookies allow core website functionality such as user login and account management. The website cannot be used properly without strictly necessary cookies.
