If you accept cookies, the legal basis for using cookies is the user’s permission to use certain categories of cookies, and you confirm that you have read the information about cookies, their purposes, and cases where information is transferred to third parties.

Different types of cookies are used, which are placed by default (for example, “necessary” cookies), but for certain cookies used, for example, for analytical purposes, we ask for your consent.

Necessary Cookies

Necessary cookies are essential and allow you to access different parts of the website.

Personalised Cookies

Personalised cookies, also known as visitor preference cookies, allow information to be remembered so that users can access a service under certain conditions that distinguish their experience from other users, such as the selected language, number of search results requested, service appearance, or content depending on the browser and availability in a specific region, etc.

Personalised cookies do not require consent to be used on the website, as these cookies are responsible for services directly requested by users (for example, selecting the website language by clicking the relevant section of the website), provided that such cookies are used only for this purpose.

Analytical Cookies

Analytical cookies allow us to count the number of visits and traffic sources so that we can measure and improve our website performance. They help us understand which pages are most popular and which are used least often, as well as how visitors move around our website.
