Legal Information

This page explains what cookies are, what they are used for, how long they are stored, and how you can manage them through your browser settings.

1 What are cookies?

HTTP cookies, also known as cookies, are small text files that websites send to your internet browser. On your next visit, the browser sends this information back to the server so that your device can be recognized and a better user experience can be provided.
The technology was created by Lou Montulli (Netscape Communications), and today almost every modern website uses cookies.

2 What are cookies used for?

Cookies may contain different types of information and serve several main purposes:

  • User authentication – they remember that you are logged in to the website, so you do not have to enter your username and password every time you start a new session.
  • Online shopping – they maintain a „shopping cart“ while you browse products.
  • Personalization – they display content based on your interests and preferences.
  • Analytics and statistics – they track visits and user behavior (for example, watching a video).
  • Cookie consent – they store your choice regarding whether you accept or reject cookies.

3 How long are cookies stored?

  • Session cookies – are automatically deleted when the browser is closed.
  • Persistent cookies – remain on your device for a specific period or until you delete them manually.

Every user can delete or block cookies at any time through their browser settings.

4 Do cookies identify users?

Cookies do not contain personal data such as your name or email address. They identify the combination of your computer and browser.
If you use multiple browsers or devices, each of them has its own separate set of cookies.

5 How can you control cookies?

If you do not wish to use cookies, you can:

  • block them completely,
  • allow only certain cookies,
  • delete them automatically after each session.
Important

This can be done through your browser settings. Please note that blocking cookies may limit the functionality of some websites.

6 European legislation and cookies

Since 25 May 2011, the European Union has required all websites operating within its territory to inform users about the use of cookies and obtain their consent.
The most common method is to display a cookie banner or notification that allows the user to accept or reject cookies.

7 How can you manage cookies in different browsers?

  • Google Chrome → Settings > Privacy > Cookies
  • Mozilla Firefox → Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies
  • Microsoft Edge → Settings > Cookies and site permissions
  • Opera → Settings > Advanced > Cookies
  • Safari → Settings > Privacy > Manage Data

8 Conclusion

Cookies are an important part of the modern internet. They help provide a better user experience, personalization, and security. You always have the option to control or disable cookies in order to protect your online privacy and personal data.
