What are "cookies"

A "cookie" is a short text information sent to your device/browser by a website you visit. It helps the site remember information about your visit and your settings. This can facilitate your next visit and make the site more useful for you.

"Cookies" are used for various purposes, such as remembering your preferences and settings for the appearance, font, and language of the site, offering you ads relevant to your interests, keeping statistics on visits to a particular page, allowing the site to recognize you and "remember" that you are logged in, and more.

Our site collects information about how users interact with it and its pages. This may include the pages people visit most often, whether they receive error messages from any of them, how they navigate the site, etc. Based on the analysis of this information, actions are taken to improve the services and the functioning of the sites for a pleasant and trouble-free user experience.

Some of the "cookies" we use are deleted at the end of the browser session, i.e., after you close your browser (so-called "session" cookies). Other "cookies" remain on your terminal and allow our site or our partner companies ("third-party" cookies) to recognize your browser during your next visit (persistent cookies). If "cookies" are set, they collect and process specific user information, such as browser data and location, as well as IP address values according to individual requirements. Persistent "cookies" are automatically deleted after a certain period, which may vary depending on the type of "cookie."
