What we use cookies for on this site
Cookies help us keep the site usable, secure and gradually improving. Specifically, thanks to them we can:
- keep your session and basic settings while you browse,
- protect the site against misuse and technical errors,
- measure anonymously which parts are useful and where visitors hit obstacles,
- remember your choices so you do not have to enter them again.
We process analytics data in aggregated, anonymised form — we care about the overall picture, not about tracking an individual. The goal is to make decisions about content and layout based on real usage rather than guesswork.
What we do not do through cookies: we do not sell their contents to third parties for their own advertising purposes and we do not try to determine your identity through them. Our concern is functionality and smooth use, not gathering data beyond what the site actually needs.
How to manage cookies in your browser
The final say over cookies is always yours. Every modern browser lets you view, delete and block cookies, either across the board or for a specific site. You will usually find the settings in the privacy or security section:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies.
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.
You can also turn on private browsing, which automatically removes cookies once you close the window. Keep in mind, though, that blocking all cookies entirely may limit some features — for example, the site will not remember your language or your choices and you will have to enter them repeatedly.
How long cookies last and how consent works
By lifespan, cookies split into temporary and more lasting ones. Session cookies exist only during a single visit and disappear when you close the browser. Persistent cookies stay stored longer so the site remembers your choices on your next visit too; their validity is set in advance, and once it passes they remove themselves.
We do not state a fixed figure for the exact duration here, because it varies between individual cookies and can change over time. As a general rule, the more routine the task a cookie performs, the shorter it tends to live, while choices the site should remember over the longer term have a longer validity. Even those, however, always have a set end and do not remain in the browser forever.
We deploy optional cookies only after your consent, and you can withdraw it at any time — either through the site settings or by clearing cookies in your browser. When you withdraw consent, we stop using optional cookies, but the essential ones remain so the site keeps working. For any question about cookies you can reach us through Contact.
