COOKIE POLICY
This website uses both first-party and third-party cookies to offer visitors the best possible browsing experience and services tailored to their individual needs and interests.
In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (the “General Data Protection Regulation” – GDPR), as well as national data protection laws, all website visitors must give their consent before cookies are stored on their device.
When you visit our website, no personal data is transmitted to our server unless you actively provide it. The only exception are technically required cookies, which are essential for the website’s functionality.
The web analytics tool Google Analytics is configured to collect data only in anonymous form, without tracing it back to individual users.
All other technologies provided by external services (e.g. Google Maps, YouTube plug-ins) are deactivated by default, meaning that no data is sent to third parties when you visit our website.
You have the option to accept additional cookies via the cookie banner, or to enable external content to improve your experience. In such cases, third-party providers may collect your personal data.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file stored by a website on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. Cookies allow the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them every time you visit the site or navigate between pages.
Cookies may contain personal data, such as your IP address. Therefore, we store cookies only if you have explicitly allowed this via the cookie settings on our website.
You may withdraw your consent for cookie use at any time with future effect by adjusting your browser’s security settings.
The only exception is for essential cookies, which are required for the website to function. Without these, you would not be able to browse the site properly. These cookies are generally enabled by default.
You also have the option to disable cookies entirely in your browser settings. Please note, however, that doing so may affect the functionality of the website.
How are cookies used?
There are three main types of cookies commonly used:
- Necessary cookies – Make the website functional by enabling basic features such as page navigation and access to secure areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
- Statistical cookies – Collect and report data anonymously to help website owners understand how visitors interact with the site.
- Marketing cookies – Used to track visitors across websites to display ads that are relevant and engaging.
There is also a fourth category, Unclassified cookies, which are currently being analyzed and categorized into one of the above groups.

What are third-party cookies?
Some sections of content on this website may be provided by third-party services. These providers may set cookies via their own platforms, which are referred to as third-party cookies, because they are not set by the owner of this website.
These third-party providers must also comply with the applicable law and the privacy policies of the website owner.
How long do cookies last?
Cookies are managed by web servers and can vary greatly in lifespan depending on their purpose. Some cookies are used only during a single session and are deleted once the visitor leaves the website (session cookies), while others may be stored and reused whenever the visitor returns (persistent cookies).
However, users can delete cookies at any time through their browser settings.
How can you control cookies?
You can manage and/or delete cookies as you wish — for details, see https://www.aboutcookies.org. You can delete all cookies already stored on your device and configure most browsers to prevent them from being set. If you do this, you may need to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a website, and some features may not work properly.
