    Cookies are used to ensure the optimal experience of the User’s visit to the Website, enable faster and easier access to information, and offer increasingly advanced functionalities and content better tailored to the User.

  2. TYPES AND PURPOSES OF USING COOKIES

    We use cookies and other similar technologies to recognize the User during their visits to our Website, remember their preferences, and display relevant, personalized content. Thanks to cookies, the User’s interactions with us are faster and more efficient. Moreover, cookies allow us to present tailored content to the User without the need for conducting surveys.

    The Website uses two types of cookies:

    • Session cookies – these are temporary files that remain on the User’s device until they leave the Website or close their web browser. In such cases, the information stored in session cookies is automatically deleted.
    • Persistent cookies – these are files that remain on the User’s device for the period specified in the cookie parameters or until manually deleted.

    Other available technologies are also used within the Website, allowing information to be stored in the browser’s data storage areas (such as Session Storage and Local Storage). In addition, fragments of code from analytical tools provided by third parties are implemented, enabling cookies to be stored within the domains of those services.

    Below are descriptions of the specific categories of cookies used on our Website:

    Technical cookies – these are essential for the proper functioning of the Website. They relate to the functionality of our web pages and allow us to improve the services we provide through them — for example, by enabling the transfer of information between pages of our Website to avoid the need to re-enter data, or by recognizing the User’s preferences when they return to the Website.

    We use them in order to:

    • ensure security;
    • maintain a session when the User visits and logs into their client account;
    • ensure the correct display of the Website depending on the device used by the User;
    • adapt our services to the User’s choices;
    • remember whether the User has consented to the display of certain content.

    Analytical cookies – these allow us to recognize and count the number of Users visiting our Website, observe how visitors navigate through the Website while using it, and record which content they view and find interesting. This helps us determine how often pages and advertisements are visited and which areas of our Website are the most popular. It enables us to improve the services we offer, making it easier for Users to find the information they are looking for. Analytical cookies are also essential for settling accounts with our Trusted Partners and for measuring the effectiveness of our marketing activities without identifying personal data.

    We use them in order to:

    • analyze traffic statistics on the Website and identify traffic sources (referral directions);
    • detect various types of misuse, such as artificial web traffic (bots) or DDoS attacks;
    • limit undesirable marketing activities;
    • measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns conducted for the Website, e.g., within the Google advertising network, affiliate programs, or on external websites;
    • settle accounts with Trusted Partners for advertising services based on User activity, such as clicks.

    Marketing cookies – these are used only when the User has given consent and only when the functionalities and advertising methods applied by our Website require their use.

    We use them in order to:

    • display advertisements that are relevant and interesting to a specific User. These cookies are related to the profiling of ads shown both on external websites and on our own Website, according to Users’ preferences regarding product choices, based on data held by the Website, including Users’ behavior within the Website.

    When entering the Website, the User may choose not to consent to the use of analytical and marketing cookies. In such a case, we will not be able to collect detailed statistics or tailor our advertisements based on the information gathered on our Website. However, general advertisements will still be displayed, both on the Website and on other external websites.

    For online advertising purposes, as well as for tools such as Google reCAPTCHA (a tool for protection against spam), we use technologies provided by Google and Meta (Facebook). Therefore, please pay attention to whether you consent to the use of these tools, including ad profiling on the Internet and Facebook. You can review and manage your privacy and security settings in your Google account using the following link: g.co/privacytools.
