We take the confidentiality of your information and the protection of your data seriously, and therefore this Cookie Policy ("Policy") is in compliance with the applicable national and European legislation.

We use "cookies" to enhance the functionality of our website, to offer you an optimal user experience, and to provide better and more personalized service tailored to your preferences. When you visit our site, you will be asked to make a choice regarding the use of "cookies". Please read the current Policy to understand what types of cookies we use and for what purposes.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit our site. They allow your actions and preferences to be remembered for a certain period of time. During your next visit to the site, your browser sends the information stored in the cookies back to our server, so you don’t have to re-enter it each time you visit the site or navigate from one page to another.

Cookies are a key component for the proper functioning of the website. Their purpose is to ensure its efficiency and usefulness, to remember important actions (such as how many people have visited the site, which sections are most frequently visited, etc.), and generate anonymized statistics on user navigation.

When you visit our website, your browser sends us "system data" based on the settings you’ve made. These system data may include your computer’s Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser version, sections of our website that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on our site and its separate sections, and other statistical data. Cookies themselves do not require personal information in order to be used, and most often do not identify internet users personally. Personal data collected through the use of cookies may only be gathered to facilitate certain functions for the user, provide a personalized experience, ensure the security and availability of our services, and protect against ill-intentioned user actions.

Types of Cookies We Use

In general, cookies are divided into:

• First-party cookies – These are cookies used by the website you are visiting. Only that website can read them. A website may also use external services, which use their own cookies, known as third-party cookies.
• Persistent cookies – These are stored on your computer and are not deleted automatically when you close your browser, unlike session cookies, which are deleted when you close the browser. Our website primarily uses first-party cookies. These are cookies set and controlled by us, not by external organizations. These cookies are used to store visitor preferences, ensure the proper functioning of the website, and collect analytical data.

Our website uses the following types of cookies:

• Strictly Necessary "Cookies" – These are authentication and technical cookies required by certain IT systems. They are mandatory and enable the website to function properly by supporting key features such as navigation between pages and maintaining the security of our services. Our website cannot function correctly without these cookies. They are automatically enabled and cannot be turned off by us. Therefore, we only inform you about these cookies and do not request your consent for their use.
• Analytical "Cookies" – These provide statistical information about visits to our website and traffic, helping us measure the effectiveness of our services and improve the site. These cookies help us understand which sections are most/least visited and how visitors use and interact with the site. We use them solely to enhance the experience for all users. These cookies collect information in a way that does not directly identify you. They simply allow us to analyze how you interact with our website as an anonymous user (the collected data cannot personally identify you). Also, this data is not shared with third parties and is not used for any other purposes. You have the right to decline this type of cookies via the cookie banner.
• Targeting or Marketing "Cookies" – These are intended to display ads that are relevant to the individual user, making them more appropriate and appealing, and therefore more valuable to ad publishers and third-party advertisers. If you do not allow these cookies, you will only see general, non-targeted ads in your browser. Some pages on our site display content from external providers, such as Google Ads. To view this content, you must first accept their terms and conditions, including their cookie policies, over which we have no control.
• Social Media "Cookies" – Sometimes third parties may place "cookies" for sharing content on social networks or for compiling access statistics. The presence, number, and status of these cookies may depend on how you use those platforms before or during your visit to our site.

You can configure most modern browsers not to allow cookies to be stored on your device, but in that case, you may need to manually adjust some settings every time you visit a site. Some services and functionalities may also not work properly.
