USER PRIVACY
According to the law of the European Union, we inform users that the website uses cookies in order to ensure the highest quality of service.
Cookies in the user’s browser allow us to ensure the operation of all functions of the website, to customize certain content specifically for each user, and to constantly improve the website by analyzing visits.
How cookies are stored can be adjusted by the user in the browser settings. In order to improve the experience of browsing the web portal, we need to save a small amount of information (cookies) on the user’s computer. Over 90% of all websites use this practice, but according to European Union regulations from 25.03.2011. We are obliged to ask for the user’s consent before storing cookies. By using the website, the user agrees to the use of cookies. By blocking cookies, the user can still browse the website, but some of its features may be unavailable.
WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie is information stored on a user’s computer by a website they have visited. Cookies usually store user preferences, settings for a website, such as preferred language or address. Later, when the user reopens the same website, the browser sends back the cookies belonging to that page. This allows us to display information tailored to the needs of each individual user.
Cookies can store a wide range of information, including personal information (such as the user’s name or email address). However, this information can only be stored if the user allows it – websites cannot access information for which the user has not given them permission and cannot access other files on the user’s computer. The default cookie saving and sending activities are not visible to users. However, the user can change their browser settings so that they can choose whether to approve or reject cookie requests, by deleting saved cookies automatically when the browser is closed, and so on.
TYPES OF COOKIES
PERMANENT COOKIES
Persistent or saved cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser. They allow websites to store information, such as your login name and password, language settings, or cookie preferences, so that you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit. Persistent cookies can remain on your computer or mobile device for days, months, or even years.
TEMPORARY COOKIES
Temporary cookies or session cookies are removed from your computer when you close your browser. They are used by websites to store temporary data, such as the last few pages you have opened on a website you are visiting or the items in your shopping cart if you are on a website that specializes in online sales.
