First party cookies
First party cookies are cookies created and used by the visited Website that the user has just visited.
Third party cookies
Third party cookies are cookies that are created by companies whose services the Website Controller uses. These are cookies that are installed by a person other than the Controller of the Website that the user visits in order to collect useful information with the goal to analyse user behaviour or demographic or other characteristics. Third parties may use cookies, beacons, and other storage technologies to retrieve and receive information from user sites and other places on the Internet, and use this information to provide ad measurement and targeting services.

Persistent cookies
Persistent cookies are cookies that remain stored on the user's device even after the browser is closed until they expire or are deleted by the user. These cookies are used to remember the user's preferences for the next visit to the Website.
Necessary (needed) cookies
Necessary cookies help us to create a safe, optimally usable display of the Website in order to ensure its basic functions, such as site navigation and access to protected areas of the Website. The Website cannot function properly without these necessary cookies.
These cookies are also used to record the status of the user's consent to cookies for the current domain, as well as to store the status of the user's session in all requests to the Website.
The use of necessary cookies is possible without the user's consent, therefore the necessary cookies cannot be deactivated.
Analytical and marketing (advertising) cookies
a) Google Analytics
This service from Google Ireland Limited is an analytical tool that, by storing information in cookies, allows to generate statistical outputs about traffic on our Website in order to improve the provided services. When using Google Analytics, the Website Controller does not process any personal data or other identifiers that can be used for indirect identification (e.g., the IP address) of Data Subjects. However, Google Analytics also uses cookies that are stored on the Website's end-user device to analyse user behaviour on our Website, so processing of users' personal data by Google Ireland Limited may occur. Google Ireland Limited anonymizes a portion of the IP address associated with the device of the end user of our Website as soon as it is obtained, thereby enhancing the privacy of personal data of Data Subjects. Google Ireland Limited uses information obtained while using the Website to evaluate user's use of the Website and to compile reports on Website activity. These data are stored by the Website Controller for a maximum of 26 months.
b) Facebook
Through the services provided by Facebook Ireland Limited, we can create online advertisements and reach back to users when users are interested in the services we offer. If you access our Website by clicking on an advertising banner (advertisement) placed on another website, it will save cookies in your browser. Through these cookies we only recognize that you have reached our Website after clicking on this advertising banner (advertisement). Other data of the user of the Website, which could be used to identify the user, are not processed.
We may also use services from Facebook Ireland Limited marked as "data file custom audiences" - an audience report for the implementation of advertising campaigns, which may combine data of Data Subjects processed by us with personal data processed in databases of Facebook Ireland Limited, and “measurement and analytics” - measurement and analytics in which Facebook Ireland Limited processes personal data of Data Subjects on our behalf in order to measure the performance and impact of our advertising campaigns and provide us with reports of users who have seen and responded to our advertising content. This processing of personal data of Data Subjects may occur if you interact with our advertising content or the Website as part of the use of a user profile created on the Facebook website. In such cases, we use Facebook as a processor, and the following legal guarantees apply to the processing of personal data of Data Subjects: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/businesstools and https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/dataprocessing.
Identification of users based on the above cookies is not possible. These data are stored by the Website Controller for a maximum of 2 years.
Terms used in this information on the use of cookies on the Website with a capitalized letter have the meaning set forth in the Information on the processing of personal data, unless otherwise stated in this information on the use of cookies on the Website.
