Use of “cookies”

“Cookies” are short text files or small packets of information that are stored via the Internet browser on your end device (computer, tablet, laptop or mobile phone) when you visit various websites and pages on the Internet. The main purpose of “cookies” is to make the user recognisable when they return to the Website. Some “cookies” also have a more specific application, such as remembering user behaviour on the site and making it easier for the user to use the Website. More information about how “cookies” work can be found on the Internet.

How are “cookies” used on this Website?

We use “cookies” on this Website primarily to make the site easier to use, to improve its performance and to store information about user behaviour. No personal data are stored in this process, i.e. the site's “cookies” do not allow us to identify you as an individual, and therefore the Personal Data Protection Act does not apply to the collection of this information. The information collected by “cookies” is usually used in aggregated form to analyse user behaviour on the Website, which allows us to improve the site's functionality, user journeys and the content used.

What “cookies” are used on this Website?

Session “cookies”

This type of “cookies” makes it easier for you to use the site, as they store information temporarily, only for the duration of the session of the browser used. The information stored through them is typically which goods or services you have added to your cart, which pages of the site you have visited and how you arrived at certain information. These “cookies” do not collect information from your end device and are deleted automatically when you leave the Website or end your browser session.

Persistent „cookies“

They enable us to store specific browsing information, such as analysing visits to the site, how you reached the Website, which pages you viewed, which options you selected, and where you went from this Website. Tracking this information enables us to make improvements to the Website, including correcting errors and expanding the content. The retention period of this type of “cookies” varies according to their specific purpose.

Third-party „cookies“

Our Website contains links to other websites or embedded content from other websites, for example from Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and partner websites. When you visit these websites or open content from them, “cookies” from these websites may be stored on your terminal device. These are the “cookies” defined as “third-party cookies”, and we have no control over the generation and management of such “cookies”. We therefore advise you to look up information about them and how they are managed on the websites of the respective third parties.

Please note that deleting or blocking “cookies” may adversely affect the functions of our Website and, consequently, your user experience on it.
