Cookies are small text files that your browser stores on your device (e.g. computer, mobile phone, tablet) when you browse websites. They are widely used to make websites work or function better and more efficiently.

We are legally allowed to store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of this website. For all other types of cookies, we need your permission.

This website uses various types of cookies. Some cookies are placed as a result of third-party services available on our pages.

Our cookies help us:

  • Make sure the website works as you expect.
  • For your convenience, keep your session active while you visit the website.
  • Remember settings during and between visits.
  • Improve website speed/security.
  • To customize our website when you are logged in to help you get the information you need faster.
  • To continuously improve our website for your needs.
  • To make our marketing more effective (thereby helping us to offer you more relevant marketing content).

Your consent

When you access our website, you will be presented with a banner with a link to the cookie policy and three options:

  • Allow all – allows our website to issue all cookies.
  • Customize – allows you to choose whether you want to accept certain types of cookies.
  • Reject – allows you to reject the use of all cookies except those that are necessary.

Generally, the more cookies you allow, the better your experience will be, however, for privacy reasons, you are not required to accept cookies unless they are necessary.

You can see exactly what cookies we use, the name and category of the cookies, the purpose, the retention period on our websites in our cookie banner, which you can open, even if it has been closed once, by clicking on the "Cookie Settings" button at the bottom of our website. This will also allow you to control your cookie preferences.

The banner will also provide you with information about retention periods, third parties involved, and a description of specific cookies.

Types of cookies

Cookies are usually classified by retention period, party and purpose. Remember that a cookie can be classified by each type at the same time, for example, it can be a persistent functionality cookie set by a third party. Below you will find detailed information about the types of cookies we use. Information about specific cookies can be found in the updated website cookie banner, which can be opened at any time by clicking on the “Cookie Settings” button at the bottom of our website.

We use two types of cookies – also called “sessions” and “permanent" for cookies. This categorization helps determine and apply the retention periods for the cookies placed.

Session cookies

A session cookie is used each time you visit our website. We use this type of cookie to link your activities on our website, but each session cookie only lasts for one browser session, at the end of which the cookie expires. Each browser session begins when you open a browser window and ends when you close the browser window. All session cookies are deleted after you visit our website.

Persistent cookies

A persistent cookie allows you to remember your choices or actions on a website (or across websites). It has a longer lifespan than a session cookie and lasts for the period specified in the cookie (which varies depending on the cookie). This type of cookie is not deleted when you close your browser window and is stored on your device. It will be activated each time you visit the website where the specific persistent cookie was created.

We use two categories of cookies – also known as “first parties” and “third parties" for cookies. This categorization helps determine who else will have access to the information collected by the cookie you place.

First-party cookies

A first-party cookie is set on our behalf by our authorized service providers. These cookies help to provide you with a better experience and keep your session open, for example, the browser is able to remember key information - what items you add to your shopping cart, your username and language preferences. A first-party cookie can only be read when you visit our domain.

Third party cookies

A third-party cookie is created by a company other than us. Sometimes we use such cookies or other tracking mechanisms, including products offered by third parties on our website, to collect performance data we need, data for marketing purposes, to provide social sharing functionality, etc. In such cases, these third parties also receive information from such cookies or other tracking mechanisms and may use it for their own purposes, including collecting more information than we have requested for our purposes.

We have provided a description of the purposes for which we use such cookies or other tracking mechanisms in the cookie banner on our website. However, the activities and purposes for which such third parties may use the information provided by these cookies or tracking mechanisms depend on their privacy policies. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the privacy policies of each of our third parties. For example, we use Google Analytics, and you can find more information about how Google uses data when you use our partner websites or apps by visiting the following link: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

You can see which cookies are third-party cookies based on the information in the cookie banner in the “Details” column. In addition, our banner will provide you with links to their privacy policies or pages explaining how they process your data.

To help you understand the purposes of each cookie, we have classified each cookie as one of the following:

Necessary cookies

These cookies are necessary for our website to function and for you to navigate and use the features of our website. For example, to ensure that the website loads quickly and efficiently, to allow you to log in to our website as a registered user, to ensure that your selections and data are not lost when you move between pages of our website during a browsing session. Without strictly necessary cookies, some features of our website will not work and our website may not function as smoothly as it should. These cookies do not collect any information for marketing purposes and do not track your activities on our website or elsewhere on the internet.

Performance or statistical cookies

Performance cookies collect information about how you use our website and help us improve how our website works. For example, performance cookies can show you the most visited pages, the amount of time you spend on a page, the articles you have opened, and help us record any difficulties with the page. These cookies track your activity on our website, but they collect information in a way that does not directly identify you. Performance cookies do not collect any information for marketing purposes and do not track your activities elsewhere on the internet.

Opt-in or functionality cookies

Functionality cookies support certain interactive functionality that provides added value to you, but our website can still function without them. Functionality cookies allow our website to remember you and the choices you make (such as the language or region you are in) and to provide enhanced and personalized features. For example, to customize a particular website, to provide other functionality you have requested (such as watching a video or leaving a comment), and to remember whether you have visited our website before so that you are not shown messages intended for first-time visitors. These cookies do not collect any information for marketing purposes and do not track your activities on our website or elsewhere on the internet.

Marketing and targeting cookies

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The idea is to display relevant and engaging advertisements to an individual user, which is therefore more valuable to publishers and third-party advertisers.

Targeting or advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests, limit the number of times you see the same advertisement on a website, and measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign by tracking your clicks.

Advertising may not appear on our website; it may appear elsewhere even after you have left our website. These cookies collect information for marketing purposes and track your activities not only on our website but also elsewhere on the internet.

You can then adjust your settings by checking or unchecking the available boxes and then clicking “Allow selected” or “Allow all". You may need to reload the page for the settings to take effect.
