I. What are “cookies” and local storage of data (cookies and similar technologies)?

“Cookies” are small text files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you access websites. Domain owner cookies (first-party cookies) are those that are determined by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are those cookies that are used by domains other than the website you are visiting.

Like “cookies”, local storage technology, if used, allows websites to store information on a computer or mobile device. Local storage is usually persistent and, unlike “cookies”, data in local storage is not automatically transferred over the Internet each time the website that stored it is visited.

II. How do we use “cookies” and similar technologies?

We use “cookies” and similar technologies on our Website to:

  • improve the performance of the relevant websites and the user experience,
  • measure exposure to advertisements and online media by identifying when, how often, on which websites certain online advertisements, media and other content are displayed on your device.

III. Types of cookies:

Our Website may use the following types of “cookies”:

(2) Performance and functionality cookies:

Often, these cookies aim to deliver advertisements that are tailored to you – both on and off our Sites. This type of advertising is known as “interest-based advertising”. Many of these types of cookies belong to our service providers.

(4) Session cookies:

We may also use session cookies, for example:

* in order to keep the answers to a once-completed survey form (and so that you do not have to fill out the survey form repeatedly).

V. How are cookies deleted?

VII. Can website users block „cookies“?

Yes, you can change your browser’s privacy settings to block all cookies; however, this may seriously affect the functionality of the website and your use of it, as many websites may not function as they should. Your browser may allow you to delete all cookies when you close it. However, this option also deletes persistent cookies that may store your preferences and personalized settings on websites you visit regularly.
It is possible to save the cookies you want because your browser may allow you to specify which sites you always allow or which sites you do not allow to use cookies.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
