PURPOSES FOR USING COOKIES
Cookies are used to improve the functionality of the Website, ensure efficient and smooth operation, perform browsing statistics and analysis, and support more effective marketing. Cookies are used to recognize the user as a previous visitor to the Website, save the user’s browsing history on the Website, and adapt the content accordingly.

Cookies do not store information that can directly identify the user’s identity, but the information stored in cookies can be linked to the device being used, browsing history, and other information obtained and stored through cookies.
LEGAL BASIS FOR USING COOKIES
The legal basis for using essential cookies is the legitimate interest of the data controller (Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation).
The legal basis for using cookies that require consent is the user’s consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation).
CONSENT TO THE USE OF COOKIES
Essential (technical) cookies are automatically installed and do not require the user’s consent. The user is informed about the use of essential cookies.
If permitted by applicable law, all other cookies (analytical, advertising, if used) on the Website are activated only after the user consents to their use, i.e., only after the user selects their preferences in the notification window that automatically opens on the Website, which provides information about cookie usage.
For each type of cookie, the data controller asks for separate consent, which is provided by the user through active actions such as checking boxes next to the cookies they wish to accept and clicking the “Confirm selected cookies” button. Clicking “Accept all cookies” means that the user agrees to the installation and use of all cookies listed.
If the user does not select the option to accept statistical or marketing cookies but clicks “Confirm selected cookies,” no cookies, except for essential (technical) cookies, will be used.
The user can withdraw their consent at any time by changing their browser settings and deleting the cookies saved.
If the user does not express a choice regarding cookie usage, cookies will not be installed (except for essential cookies), but a cookie notification will appear each time the user visits the Website.
COOKIE STORAGE PERIOD
Most cookies are session cookies, and they disappear when the user ends the session (i.e., closes the browser). Other cookies (e.g., statistical, advertising) are long-term and remain on the computer for a certain period. The storage periods of long-term cookies are listed in the cookie description below.
Session cookies are stored from the moment the user opens the browser until it is closed. When the browser is closed, these cookies are automatically deleted.
Long-term cookies are stored on the computer until the user deletes them from the browser or their expiration date passes.
MANAGING COOKIES
All web browsers (e.g., Chrome, Microsoft Edge, etc.) have the option to manage and delete cookies. Detailed instructions depend on the browser the user is using.
If multiple browsers are used, settings must be adjusted in each browser.
