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.

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.
