Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer when you visit our website and do not harm your hardware or software. Their storage is under the full control of the user’s browser – it can limit or disable the storage of cookies as desired. A cookie is a small file, usually containing a sequence of letters and numbers, that is downloaded to the user’s computer when the user visits a certain website. Cookies are primarily intended to ensure the functioning of the website. In addition, we can use them to provide a better user experience. They are downloaded via the browser during the first visit to the website. The next time you return to the page using the same device, the browser can check whether a related cookie is present (that is, the one containing the name of the page) and use the information from the cookie and send it back to the page. This allows websites to recognize that a user has previously visited them and, in some cases, adapt the displayed content accordingly.

When starting to use the online store, the visitor of the online store is assigned a cookie for identification and ensuring traceability (“cookie”). The servers automatically collect data on how visitors, merchants or shoppers use the online store and store this data in the form of an activity log. The servers store information about the use of the online store, statistical data and IP numbers. Data on the use of the online store by shoppers can be used by the company for anonymous statistical processing that serves to improve the user experience and for marketing products and/or services via the online store.

Indirectly and upon obtaining consent, the online store can also store cookies from external services (e.g. Google Analytics) on the visitor’s or shopper’s device, which serve to anonymously collect data about website visits.

Cookies are not harmful and are always limited in time.
