"Cookies" should be understood as IT data, in particular text files, stored in users' end devices intended for the use of websites. These files allow to recognize the user's device and properly display the page website tailored to his individual preferences. "Cookies" usually contain the name of the website they come from, their storage time on the end device and a unique number.

What do we use cookies for?

What cookies do we use?

There are, in principle, two types of "session" and "permanent" cookies. The first of them are temporary files that remain on the user's device until logging out of the website or turning off the software (web browser). "Permanent" files remain on the user's device for the time specified in the parameters of "cookies" or until they are manually deleted by the user.
"Cookies" used by the operator's partners of the website, including in particular website users, are subject to their own privacy policy.
