Cookies are not harmful to Users or their devices, they do not adversely affect their operation. They also do not cause any configuration changes in end devices or software installed on these devices.

Types of cookies

The Website uses two basic types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary files that are stored
on the User’s end device until logging out, leaving the website or turning off the software (web browser). Cookies are stored on the end device of the User for the time specified in the parameters of cookies (cookies may remain on the User’s device for various time periods – it may be the duration of the session, or the set lifetime) or until they are deleted by the User.

The Website uses the following cookies:

“Necessary” cookies – necessary for the functioning of the website, enabling the use of services available on the Website, e.g. authentication cookies used for services that require authentication on the Website; used to ensure security, e.g. used to detect fraud in the authentication of the Website. These cookies can not be disabled as part of managing cookie settings. However, you can set your browser to block these cookies, but some elements of the page will not work then.

All data collected by these cookies are aggregated and therefore remain anonymous.

They can be used to create Users profiles, to present more relevant or corresponding to the profile of ads on other websites, to prevent the re-emergence of the same advertisement, and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These files may store information about the fact that the website has been visited from a specific device, as well as provide such data to advertising partners.If the user does not accept these cookies, they may still receive ads but are less suited to their preferences or interests.

The social network registers such activities of the User. This type of information can be used in advertising activities or to target adverts to a specific target group.

In addition, we can also use web beacons provided by these advertising providers, to help manage our online ads. Web beacons allow you to recognize browser cookies when the browser visits this website and find out which banner ads take users to our site.

We pay attention to the fact that depending on the website or mobile application used, the type and amount of cookies may vary.

Facebook Custom Audience

This is a remarketing tool for displaying an interest-based advertising as part of Facebook’s social network or other sites that also use the tool. The user’s browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Facebook server. To the best of our knowledge, by integrating Facebook Custom Audiences, Facebook receives information such as: date and time of access, website visited by the User or clicking on our advertisement, IP address, domain name, regardless of whether the User is registered or logged in to Facebook (we do not have however, the impact on the scope and further use of data collected by Facebook using this tool). If the user is registered on Facebook, Facebook may link the user’s visit to his account.

If your account on Facebook meets certain parameters defined earlier (eg age, gender, region) and is therefore part of our specific target group (the so-called “Audience”), our advertisement may be displayed on Facebook , specially prepared for this target group and corresponding to its interests. However, we will not know the data on your Facebook account.

Adobe Analytics

We use the web analytics service Adobe Analytics, which allows us to analyze Users’ visits on our websites. For the purpose of this analysis, the User’s device is saved
are cookies that collect information that is then stored on Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited (“Adobe”) servers. Information stored on Adobe servers can not be directly assigned to a specific person because Adobe Analytics is used with the following settings: “Before Geo-Lookup: Replace visitor’s last IP octet with 0” and “Obfuscate IP-Removed.” Setting “Before Geo-Lookup : Replace visitor’s last IP octet with 0 “means anonymisation of the IP address before so-called geolocation by replacing the last octet of the IP address with zeros. For statistical analyzes, the approximate location of the User is added to the so-called tracking package, which at this stage still contains the full IP address. Before the tracking package is saved, the IP address is replaced with a single general IP address, if the “Obfuscate IP-Removed” setting is configured. This removes the IP address from the stored data record.
