§ 2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files saved by the web browser on the user's device (computer, phone, tablet) when using a website. These files enable the recognition of the user's device and proper display of the site, tailored to individual preferences.

Cookies do not contain data that allows identification of the user's identity, do not cause configuration changes on the device, and are not used to install or run software.

§ 4. Consent mechanism

On the first visit, a banner is displayed allowing the user to choose:

  • "Essential Only" — acceptance of only cookies necessary for the site to function;
  • "Accept All" — consent to all cookie categories, including analytical.

The user's choice is saved in the browser's localStorage and respected during subsequent visits. The user can change their decision at any time by clearing the site data in browser settings.

§ 5. Managing cookies in the browser

Users can independently manage cookies through their browser settings. Most browsers accept cookies by default, but users can block, be notified about, or delete cookies. Restricting essential cookies may affect the proper functioning of the website.
