Cookie policy

For a website to work properly and to be improved in order to make your browsing experience better, a minimal amount of information (cookies) needs to be stored on your computer when you visit the site. More than 90% of all websites use cookies. Under the EU rules, they are required to request user consent to do so. By using this website, you agree to the use of cookies. Blocking the cookies allows you to view the page, but some of its features will not be functional.

 

What is a cookie?

The cookie information is saved on your computer by the website you visit. Cookies usually save your website browsing settings, such as your preferred language or address. Later, when you open a certain web page again, the internet browser sends back the cookies that belong to that page. This allows the page to display information tailored to your requirements.

Cookies can store a wide range of information including personal information (such as your name or e-mail address). However, this information can only be saved if you enable it — the website cannot gain access to information that you have not provided, and cannot access other files on your computer or mobile device. To you, the default activity of saving and sending cookies is not visible; nevertheless, you can change your Internet browser settings so that you can choose for yourself whether to approve or reject cookie requests, delete cookies automatically when you close your browser, etc.

 

How to disable cookies?

By turning off cookies, you decide whether you want to allow cookies to be stored on your computer or mobile device, or not. Cookie settings can be controlled and configured in your Internet browser. If you disable cookies, you may not be able to use some of the functionality of a visited website.

 

What are temporary cookies?

Temporary cookies, or session cookies, are removed from your computer when you close your browser. Websites use them to store temporary information, such as items in a shopping cart.

 

What are permanent cookies?

Permanent or saved cookies remain on your computer after you close the Internet browser. Websites use them to store information such as login name and password, so you do not have to sign in for each visit to a specific location. Permanent cookies will remain on your computer for days, months, even years.

 

What are first-party cookies?
