You can see what exact cookies we use, the name and the categorization of the cookie, purpose, retention period on our websites in our cookie banner, which you can open, even if once closed, by clicking the button “Cookie settings” at the bottom of our webpage. That will also allow you to control your cookie preferences.

Types of cookies
Cookies usually are categorized by retention period, party and purpose. Remember that a cookie can be categorized by each type all at once, e.g., there can be persistent functionality cookie set by a third party. Below you will find more information on these types of cookies that we use. Information about specific cookies can be found at the updated website cookie banner which can be opened at any moment by clicking the button “Cookie settings” at the bottom of our webpage.
We use two types of cookies known as “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. Such categorization helps to set and enforce retention periods to placed cookies.
Session cookies
A session cookie is used each time you visit our website. We use this type of cookie to link your actions on our website and each session cookie will only last for a browser session, at the end of which it will expire. Each browser session will start when you open your browser window and finish when you close your browser window. After your visit to our website all session cookies are deleted.
Persistent cookies
A persistent cookie allows your preferences or actions across a site (or across different sites) to be remembered. It has a longer lifetime than a session cookie and lasts for the period of time specified in the cookie (this will vary from cookie to cookie). This type of cookie will not be deleted when you close your browser window and will be stored on your device. It will be activated every time you visit a website which created that particular persistent cookie.
We use two categories of cookies known as „first party” and „third-party” cookies. Such categorization helps to identify who else will have access to information that is collected by placed cookie.
First party cookies
A first party cookie is created by us our authorized services providers on our behalf. These cookies help to provide a better experience to you and keep the session open, e.g., the browser is able to remember key pieces of information, such as which items you add to shopping carts, your username and language preferences. First party cookie can be read only when you are visiting our domain.
Third party cookies
A third-party cookie is created by another company that is not us. We sometimes use such cookies or other tracking mechanisms by incorporating third party provided products in our website to collect for us needed performance data, data for marketing purposes, ensuring social sharing functionality etc. In such case these third parties also receive information from such cookies or other tracking mechanisms and they might use it for their own purposes, including they might collect more information than we have requested for our purposes.
We have provided on our website in our cookie banner description about purposes for what we use such cookies or other tracking mechanisms. However, activities and purposes for what such third parties might use information from these cookies or tracking mechanisms is subject to their own privacy policy. We recommend that you review the privacy policies of each of our third party. For example, we use Google Analytics and you can find more information about “How Google used data when you use our partners’ sites 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 information in the cookie banner in the column “Details”. In addition, our banner will provide you with links to their privacy policies or pages with their explanations on how the 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 essential to our website to work and in order to enable you to move around and to use our website features. For example, to ensure that page loads quickly and effectively, for you to be able to sign in in our website as registered user, that your chosen items and entered data do not disappear when you move between pages in our website within a browsing session. Without strictly necessary cookies, certain functionality on our website will not work and our website may not perform as smoothly as it should. These cookies don’t gather any information for marketing purposes and do not track your activity within our website or rest of the internet.
Performance or statistic cookies
Performance cookies collect information about your use of our website and help to improve the way our website works. For example, performance cookies may show which are the most frequently visited pages, length of time spent on page, articles opened and help to record any difficulties with page.

Functionality cookies support particular interactive functionality which adds value to you but without it our website can still function. Functionality cookies allow our website to remember you and the choices you make (such as language or the region you are in) and to provide enhanced and more personal features. For example, customize a certain webpage, provide other functionality you request (watch a video or leave a comment) and remember if you’ve been to our website before so that messages intended for first-time visitors are not displayed to you. These cookies don’t gather any information for marketing purposes and do not track your activity within our website or rest of the internet.
