Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the use of strictly necessary cookies is the legitimate interest of the Data Controller (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), as these cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the website.

The legal basis for the use of statistical, marketing, remarketing, and social media cookies is the prior consent of the data subject (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR).

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small data package that internet services store in your browser. It is an essential technology for the operation of online services that provide an efficient and modern user experience, and is supported by all browsers today.

How are cookies created?

First, the client computer sends a request to the server. The server then creates a unique identifier and stores it in its own database, then sends the cookie created with all the information back to the client. The information cookie received in this way is stored on the client computer.

How are cookies used?

When the client computer reconnects to the server, it matches the previously created and stored cookie. The server compares the content of the received cookie with the one it has stored. This allows it to easily identify, for example, a logged-in registered user. Without this, it would not be possible to log in to a website.

What cookies does the website use and for what purposes?

The website uses cookies for the following purposes:

  • to improve our website,
  • to facilitate your navigation on our website and the use of its functions, thereby ensuring a smooth user experience,
  • to collect information about how you use our website – by assessing which parts of the website are visited or used most frequently, so we can learn how to provide you with an even better user experience when you visit our site again,
  • to better understand how to improve the user experience for returning visitors,
  • to distinguish and identify browser users,
  • to monitor activities carried out on the website so that we can deliver messages and offers that are specifically relevant and important to you.

Types of cookies

1. Essential session (session-ID) cookies

Also known as: Necessary cookies

These cookies ensure the proper operation of the website, facilitate its use, and collect information about usage without identifying our visitors.

They are indispensable for navigating the website, using its key functions, and accessing protected content. These cookies do not collect information that could be used for marketing purposes or that would remember which other websites the visitor has visited. If the visitor does not accept these cookies, the website or certain parts of it may not display properly, making it impossible to use the website or complete forms.

Please note that without the use of these cookies, we cannot guarantee the convenient use of our website.

Examples of such cookies include the CookieHub cookie used to operate the website’s Consent Management Platform (CMP), as well as the WooCommerce cookie that enables shopping cart functions.

2. Statistical cookies

Also known as: Analytical cookies

In order to improve our website and enhance the experience provided to users, we also use cookies that allow us to collect information about how visitors use our website.

Statistical cookies are used to analyze user behavior. The data collected by such cookies is generally not suitable for directly identifying the user on its own; however, in certain cases it may qualify as online identifiers under the provisions of the GDPR.

Examples include cookies used by Google Analytics 4. When using the Google Analytics 4 service, IP anonymization is carried out automatically.

3. Advertising cookies

These cookies collect information such as which pages our visitors viewed, which parts of the website the user clicked on, and how many pages they visited, all in order to understand content that may be of interest to you.

Marketing cookies may not be loaded without consent. However, if you provide your consent, the information collected during the tracking of website usage may be used together with your personal data in order to better tailor our marketing communications to your needs and draw your attention to more personalized offers.

Examples include Google Ads cookies.

  • social media content to be displayed on the website,
  • video content to be embedded,

  • as well as marketing and remarketing functions to operate.

Social media providers may collect data through cookies regarding what content the visitor views, which pages they visit, and what interactions they perform on the website.

Consent Management

The website uses a Consent Management Platform (CMP) for cookie management and for recording users’ consent preferences.

Consents may be modified or withdrawn at any time through the cookie settings interface available on the website.

Withdrawal of Consent

Users may modify or withdraw their consent to the use of cookies at any time through the cookie settings interface available on the website.

Services activated through Google Tag Manager are loaded solely on the basis of the user’s consent.

Google Analytics 4

Google Analytics 4 may collect the following types of data during its operation:
