Cookies are used to ensure optimal service during the User’s visit to the Website and to enable faster and easier access to information, as well as to offer the User increasingly enhanced functionalities of the Website and content better tailored to the User.

The stored information or access to it does not cause configuration changes in the User’s device or in the software installed on it.

By means of cookies, we try to collect only anonymous data about the User, which serves to improve the convenience of using the portal and minimise the inconvenience of advertisements.

II. TYPES AND PURPOSES OF USING COOKIES

We use cookies and other similar technologies to recognise the User during visits to our Website, remember their preferences and display relevant, tailored content. Thanks to cookies, the User’s interactions with us are faster and more effective. In addition, cookies allow us to present the User with tailored content without the need to conduct surveys.

Two types of cookies are used on the Website:

  • Session cookies – these are temporary files that remain on the User’s device until the User leaves the Website or closes the web browser. In such a case, the information saved in session cookies is automatically deleted.

  • Persistent cookies – these are files that remain on the User’s device for the period specified in the cookie parameters or until they are manually deleted.

Within the Website, other available technologies are also used that allow information to be saved in the browser in appropriate data stores (Session Storage, Local Storage), and fragments of code from analytical tools provided by other suppliers are also placed, enabling cookies to be saved in the domains of those services.

The individual categories of cookies used on our Website are described below:

Technical cookies – these are necessary for the Website to function properly. They relate to the functionality of our websites and allow us to improve the services we offer through our websites, for example by enabling information to be transferred between pages of our website to avoid the need to re-enter information, or by recognising the User’s preferences when they return to our Website.

We use them for the following purposes:

  • ensuring security;

  • maintaining the session when the User visits and logs in to their customer account;

  • ensuring proper display of the website depending on the device used by the User;

  • adapting our services to the User’s choices;

  • remembering whether the User consents to the display of certain content.

Analytical cookies – these allow us to recognise and count the number of Users visiting our Website, see how visitors move around the Website when using it, and record which content they view and are interested in. This helps us determine how often pages and advertisements are visited and which areas of our Website are the most popular. This enables us to improve the services offered, ensuring that our Users find the information they are looking for. They are also necessary to settle accounts with our Trusted Partners and measure the effectiveness of our marketing activities without identifying personal data.

We use them for the following purposes:

  • examining statistics concerning website traffic and checking the source of traffic (referral directions);

  • detecting various types of abuse, e.g. artificial internet traffic (bots), DDoS attacks;

  • limiting unwanted marketing activities;

  • measuring the effectiveness of marketing campaigns conducted for the Website, e.g. in the Google advertising network, in affiliate programmes, and on external websites;

  • settling accounts with Trusted Partners for advertising services based on user activity, e.g. clicks.

Marketing cookies – these are used when the User gives consent and only when the functionalities and forms of advertising applied by our Website require it.

We use them for the following purpose:

  • displaying advertisements that are relevant and interesting to a specific user. They concern the profiling of advertisements displayed both on external websites and on our Website, according to users’ preferences regarding the selection of goods, based on data held by the Website, including users’ behaviour on the Website.

When entering the Website, the User may refuse to consent to the use of analytical and marketing cookies. In such a case, we will not be able to keep detailed statistics or tailor our advertisements based on information collected on our Website. However, general advertisements will still be displayed both on the Website and on other websites.

For the display of advertisements on the Internet, as well as for other tools such as Google reCAPTCHA (a spam protection tool), we use technologies provided by Google and Meta (Facebook), so please pay attention to whether you consent to the use of these tools, including ad profiling on the Internet and on Facebook.
