Cookies are IT data, in particular text files, which are stored on the User's end device. Cookies usually contain the domain name of the website they come from, their storage time on the end device and a unique number. Cookies are not used to identify the user and the User's identity is not established on their basis.
-
The publisher's website may place a cookie on your browser if your browser allows it. Importantly, the browser only allows a website to access cookies placed by that website, not files placed by other websites.
-
Each separate cookie is made up of four basic parts:
- a) name of the website, i.e. the name of the domain or subdomain that set the cookie;
- b) the unique name of the cookie assigned to it on the website that generates it;
- c) cookie expiration dates - some files expire at the same time as closing the browser (these are so-called session cookies), while other files are deleted automatically when the set expiry date is reached (so-called persistent cookies);
- d) value, that is information contained in the cookie that is used by the website to keep a register of previous visits.
-
Cookies contain basic information about Users (such as identifiers), as well as various types of data enabling the optimization and correct presentation of content on websites. The information stored in cookies is used for purposes such as:
- a) recognizing Users who log in to protected websites and thus gain the ability to use multiple websites without the need to enter the user name and password for each website;
- b) creating a register of User preferences, i.e. the browsing format and content viewed, without the need to set individual preferences each time you visit a given website;
- c) preparing a register of pages visited by users - on this basis, data is obtained that facilitates the introduction of improvements in the content visible on the pages, as well as in the way the page is navigated.
-
Cookies are also used for the following purposes:
- a) adapting the content of websites to the User's preferences and optimizing the use of websites; in particular, these files allow to recognize the User's device and properly display the website, tailored to his individual needs;
- b) creating statistics that help understand how Users use websites, which allows improving their structure and content;
-
The website uses two basic types of cookies: "session cookies" and "persistent cookies". "Session" cookies are temporary files that are stored on the User's end device until logging out, leaving the website or turning off the software (web browser). "Permanent" cookies are stored on the User's end device for a period of time specified in the cookie parameters or until they are deleted by the User.
-
The following types of cookies are used on the website:
- a) "necessary" cookies enabling the use of services available on the website, e.g. authentication cookies used for services requiring authentication on the website;
- b) cookies used to ensure security, e.g. used to detect authentication abuses within the website;
- c) "performance" cookies, enabling the collection of information on how the websites of the website are used;
- d) "functional" cookies, enabling "remembering" the settings selected by the User and personalizing the User's interface, e.g. in terms of the selected language or region from which the User comes, font size, appearance of the website, etc.;
- e) "advertising" cookies, enabling the provision of advertising content to Users more tailored to their interests
