Use of cookies
§1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
- “Cookies” are small text files stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) by the browser when you use the service. Similar technologies include, among others, local/session storage, web beacons, tracking pixels, and SDKs in mobile applications. In this Policy, we collectively refer to them as “technologies”.
- These technologies allow us, among other things, to ensure the proper functioning and security of the website, remember your preferences, analyze traffic, and – with your consent – display personalized content and advertisements.
- Our service uses a banner and a preference panel (CMP) that allows you to:
- “Accept all” – giving consent to the use of all technologies (except those that are necessary and always active),
- “Configure” – selection of individual categories.
- You can withdraw or change your consent at any time (without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing) by clicking the Cookies Settings button/icon available in the website footer.
- Essential technologies operate on the basis of Article 173(3) of the Telecommunications Law (exemption from the consent requirement) and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest – ensuring the operation and security of the service).
- Other categories (e.g. analytics, functional, marketing) are used only after obtaining your consent – Article 173(1) of the Telecommunications Law and Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
- Details about data processing (controller, rights, recipients, transfers outside the EEA, retention periods) can be found in Privacy Policy.
- Necessary (required)
- They ensure basic website functions (shopping cart operation, login, security, load balancing). You cannot disable them in the panel, but you can block them in your browser (which may cause the site to function incorrectly).
- Analytics and statistical (optional)
- They help us understand how you use the service (e.g. which pages you visit and for how long). The data are aggregated/pseudonymised and are used to improve functionality and usability.
- Functional (optional)
- They enable personalization (e.g. remembering preferences, language version, interface layout) and integration with external services (e.g. video players, chat).
- Marketing / advertising (optional)
- They enable the display of personalized content and advertisements, measurement of their effectiveness (remarketing, marketing profiling), creation of audience segments, and limiting the number of times the same advertisement is shown.
§5. Retention period
- Session-based – they operate until the end of the session (until the browser is closed).
- Persistent – stored for a specified period (usually from 1 day to 24 months, depending on the purpose and provider). Exact periods can be found in the table below and/or in the CMP panel.
- You can change your browser settings at any time (block or delete cookies). Below are quick paths for popular browsers:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari (macOS/iOS): Preferences/Settings → Privacy → Cookies
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
- Disabling some cookies may limit functionality (e.g. login, shopping cart, checkout).
- For marketing purposes, we may create basic interest profiles based on your activity on the website (e.g. viewed products, abandoned cart) – only with your consent. We do not make decisions solely based on automated processing that would produce legal effects or similarly significantly affect you. You can always object to direct marketing and withdraw your consent in the Cookie Settings panel.
- We may periodically update this policy (e.g. due to changes in service providers, website functionality, or legal requirements). We will inform you of significant changes on the website; the new wording applies from the date indicated above.
