12. COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

The Website uses two types of cookies, i.e. persistent and session cookies. Persistent cookies are stored by the browser and remain there for a period determined in their parameters or until they are removed by the User, whereas session cookies are saved until the browser is closed by the User. 

During the first visit to the Website, the information about the use of cookies is shown to the User along with a question about consent to the use of these files. The User can always change cookie settings from your browser or delete cookies altogether. 

Browsers manage cookie settings in various ways. In the auxiliary menu of the web browser you will find explanations on how to change cookie settings. Please remember that disabling or limiting the use of cookies may cause difficulties in using our website, as well as many other websites that use cookies. 

• The Controller’s cookies 

The Controller uses its own cookies to ensure the proper functioning of the Website. The Controller’s own cookies also store information about the User’s consent to the use of cookies and information about cookie settings defined by you on the Website. 

• Third Party Cookies 

The Website functions provided by third parties, which involves the use of cookies from third parties. The use of such cookies is described below. 

• Google Functionalities 

The Website uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager, tools provided by Google Ireland Limited. 

When visiting the Controller’s Website, a Google cookie remarketing file is automatically left on the User’s device, which with the help of a pseudonymous identifier (ID) and based on the pages you visit allows you to display interest-based advertising. 

Further processing of the information takes place only if the User has given consent to Google to link the User’s browsing history and application use to his/her account and to use the information from the User’s Google account to personalize the advertisements displayed on websites. If in this case the User will be logged in when visiting the Website on Google, Google will use the User’s Personal data together with Google Analytics data to create and define lists of target groups for remarketing purposes on various devices. For this purpose, Google combines the temporarily collected information with Google Analytics data to create target groups. 

Google Tag Manager is used to manage website tags via an interface. The use of Google Tag Manager does not involve the storage of cookies or the collection of Personal data. This tool enables the use of other tags that may collect Personal data under certain circumstances. Google Tag Manager does not use this Personal data. If the saving option has been deactivated at the domain or cookie level, this will apply to all tracking tags implemented via Google Tag Manager. 

If you would like to learn more about the Personal data Processing as part of Google Analytics, please familiarize yourself with the information about the tool available here: https://support.google.com/analytics#topic=3544906 

• Social Media Pixels 

On the Controller’s Website, there are social media pixels available, including Facebook pixel, LinkedIn pixel, Youtube pixel. 

After clicking on the pixel, the User is sent to the social media platform to the Controller’s page. The User can interact with the content shared, e.g. by liking or sharing it. 

In order to analyze the generated traffic and conversion on the Website, the Controller has implemented pixels as part of the Website, which automatically collects information about the User’s use of the Website in terms of pages viewed. 

The information collected as part of pixels is anonymous, i.e. it does not allow us to identify the User. The Controller only knows what activity the User has taken on the Controller’s Website. The Controller can also check the User’s age range, gender, where the User is connecting to the Internet. Tools such as Facebook Insights may also provide us with more information about you, but this is never information that would allow us to identify you. 

However, we would like to inform you that social media platforms may combine the collected information with other information collected about you as part of the User’s use of Facebook and use it for its own purposes, including marketing. 

• Content from external websites 

The Controller embeds content from external websites on the Website, in particular videos from YouTube. Therefore, Google Ireland Limited cookies related to the YouTube service, including DoubleClick cookies, are used. 

By playing a video or viewing other embedded material, Google receives information about it, even if the User does not have a profile with the given service provider or is not logged in. Such information (along with the User’s IP address) is sent by the browser directly to the server of a given service provider. 

If the User is logged on to the website of a given service provider, this service provider will be able to directly assign a visit to the Website to the User’s profile on a given social network. The purpose and scope of Personal data collection and their further processing and use by service providers, as well as the possibility of contact and the User’s rights in this regard and the possibility of making settings to protect the User’s privacy are described in the privacy policy of individual service providers. 

If the User does not want the service providers to assign the Personal data collected during video playback or reading other content on the Website directly to the User’s profile on a given website, the User must log out of this website before visiting the Website. You can also completely prevent the plug-ins from being loaded on the website by using appropriate extensions for the User’s browser, e.g. blocking scripts. 

YouTube-related cookies are not loaded until the video is played, so if you do not want this to happen, please refrain from watching the video. 

• Social media tools 

The Website uses plugins and other social tools provided by social media sites. 

By displaying the Website containing such a plug-in, the User’s browser will establish a direct connection with the servers of social network administrators (service providers). The content of the plugin is transferred by the given service provider directly to the User’s browser and integrated with the website. Due to this integration, service providers receive information that the User’s browser has displayed the Website, even if the User does not have a profile with a given service provider or is not currently logged in with him. Such information (along with the User’s IP address) is sent by the User’s browser directly to the server of a given service provider (some servers are in the USA) and stored there. 

If the User is logged in to one of the social networking sites, this service provider will be able to directly assign a visit to the Website to the User’s profile on a given social networking site. 

If you use a given plug-in, for example by clicking on the “Share” button, the relevant information will also be sent directly to the server of the given service provider and stored there. 

In addition, this information will be published on a given social network and will appear to people added as the User’s contacts. The purpose and scope of Personal data collection and their further processing and use by service providers, as well as the possibility of contact and the User’s rights in this regard and the possibility of making settings to protect the User’s privacy are described in the privacy policy of individual service providers. 

If the User does not want social networks to assign the data collected during the User’s visit to the Website directly to the User’s profile on a given website, the User must log out of this website before visiting the Website. You can also completely prevent the plug-ins from being loaded on the website by using appropriate extensions for the User’s browser, e.g., blocking scripts. 

• Server logs 

Using the Website involves sending queries to the server on which the website is stored. Each query directed to the server is saved in the server logs. 

Logs include IP address, server date and time, information about the web browser and operating system the User uses. Logs are saved and stored on the server. The Personal data stored in the server logs are not associated with specific people using the Website and are not used by us to identify the User. 

The server logs are only auxiliary material used to administer the website, and their content is not disclosed to anyone except those authorized to administer the server.
