Cookie policy
When using our websites, we or third parties use cookies to provide the best possible website functioning and to collect various useful information that we use to improve our website functionality and services. View this policy to learn the basic information on cookies, which functions they perform and what are your options regarding their use.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your web browser or computer/device by web servers. They are used to ensure a proper and/or more efficient website functioning, but also to gather various information for website owners. The use of cookies is very widespread today and it is common in almost all websites. You can learn more about cookies here.
Cookies usually don’t contain any information that personally identify the user of the site, but information stored in cookies and/or acquired by using cookies can be linked with personal information that websites usually store.
If you don’t feel safe when using cookies, you can manage them through options in your web browser, including removing cookies by deleting them from search history (cache) after you leave the site. More information on managing cookies can be found here.
Types of cookies
Cookies can be generally classified according to their functionalities.
“Necessary cookies” are essential for website functioning and they enable the visitor to move around the website and use its features (e.g. access to secure areas of the website).
“Performance (statistical) cookies” collect statistical data on websites for website owners, mostly for measuring performance and improving how a website works. They collect information about how You use a website (e.g. information on websites you visit and errors on those sites, how fast does a website load etc.); they don’t collect information that could identify You.
“Functionality cookies” allow the websites to remember choices You make when using a website (e.g. changes in font size, site personalization etc.) or are used for various additional services functioning such as leaving comments on blog posts or forums.
“Advertising cookies” are used to choose adverts more relevant to You and Your interests. These cookies track Your visits to particular web locations and share that information with other organisations (website owners and advertisers).
Duration of cookies
Every cookie has a built in mechanism that determines how long will a cookie stay in your browser. “Temporary (session) cookies” stay in your browser only during your visit (session) to a website and are destroyed after you leave.
“Persistent cookies” stay in your browser after you leave the website and the duration of their stay (hours, days, years) depend on the duration expectancy built in into each individual cookie. Persistent cookies can be used for instance to store data that is given when signing up for a service (so a visitor doesn’t have to sign up every time). They are also used to track visitor behaviour on the website in order to have a better understanding from the collected data of what visitors like and don’t like, which enables website owners to improve website functionality. Regardless of the built in duration expectancy, you can delete every cookie yourself at any moment.
