3. What types of cookies do we use?
On our website we use:

a) Functional (necessary) cookies
Functional cookies enable the proper operation of the website and the visibility of the user's settings.

b) Analytical cookies

These cookies are used to track website statistics. Analytical cookies allow us to track the number and sources of visits so that we can measure and improve the performance of our website. This type of cookie helps us understand which sub-pages are most or least visited and how visitors navigate our website. If you refuse to save analytical cookies on your computer or smartphone, your visit will not be included in our statistics, but at the same time it will not restrict any functionality on our website for you.

The lower table provides more details on the analytical cookies we use.

4. Other traffic information

Local storage technology allows us to use the website efficiently and is used to save data that was saved during the use of the website in a separate part of the browser's memory, after it is turned off. Only the website whose data is saved in the browser can access the data in the local storage.

Using the website implies sending a query to the server where the website is stored. Every query sent to the server is saved in the server logs. Logs include IP address, date and time, web browser and operating system information. The logs are saved and stored on the server. Data stored in server logs are not connected to individual users who use the website and were not used for identification purposes. Server logs are auxiliary material used to manage the website and their content is not disclosed to anyone except persons authorized to manage the server.

By clicking on "Manage cookies" you can choose the type of cookies we use when you access our website. By selecting “Confirm settings” you will refuse use of analytical cookies. Please note that functional (necessary) cookies are required for proper use of the website and therefore cannot be refused. You can withdraw your consent at any time in the "Manage cookies" section.

You can also generally disable the use of cookies through your browser (see the point above "How to limit cookies"), but please note that then our website may not work in the most efficient way (because as we stated earlier, functional cookies are necessary for the proper operation of the website).
