What are cookies and how do we use cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that your browser stores on a computer or mobile device when visiting a particular website. Using cookies, the website remembers your actions and preferred settings (such as login, language, font size and other preferred display settings) over a longer period of time, so they do not need to be entered again each time you return to the website or browse its different pages.

Cookies can be divided according to duration, source or function.

According to duration, cookies can be divided into persistent cookies, which remain stored even after closing the browser, remember information such as login, language and settings, and can last for days, months or years, and temporary cookies, so-called session cookies, which are deleted after closing the browser and are used to store temporary data.

According to source, cookies can be divided into first-party cookies, which are set by the website that the user directly visits, and third-party cookies, which are set by other services present on the website, most commonly for tracking users or providing additional features.

According to function, the cookies we use on this website are divided into:

Necessary, analytical and marketing cookies.

We must inform you that when using this category of cookies, data is transferred to third countries.

MARKETING COOKIES

After obtaining your consent, these cookies serve us to track users through the website in order to increase the relevance of the advertisements you receive. We must inform you that when using this category of cookies, data is transferred to third countries.

This includes:

− cookies for the development and improvement of services (third-party promotional cookies) – we use cookies to collect data about your online activity and identify your interests so that we can show you advertisements that may be of most interest to you. You can also opt out of receiving interest-based advertisements that we send you, as described in our Privacy Rules. We also use cookies to record, for example, how many visitors clicked on an advertisement and which advertisements you have seen, so that the same advertisements are not shown to you repeatedly.

The Organizers cannot fully influence the processing of personal data carried out by third parties.

Do we use other cookies?

Some of our sites or subpages may use additional and/or different cookies from those previously listed and described. For example:

– companies we hire to provide services on our behalf, such as website analytics, set cookies when you visit our websites;

– companies that deliver content, such as videos or news or ads on our sites, set their own cookies. These companies use the data they process in accordance with their Data Protection Policies, which may allow these companies to collect and combine information about your activities from multiple websites, applications, or network services.

Details about them will be provided to you as soon as they appear, and at that time we will ask you for your consent, if you have not given it before, so that we can store these cookies as well.

Transfer to third countries

The Organizers use tools and services of companies and social networks that do not operate within the European Union. We are obliged to warn you that third parties such as Google LLC may transfer your personal data to the USA, where it may become available to US government authorities, if the data transfer is not compliant with the mechanisms for lawful and secure transfer prescribed by the General Data Protection Regulation.

We care about the protection of your data and, precisely for this reason, in our business we use various legal options for the lawful transfer of personal data, which will ensure an even higher level of your protection.

On 10 July 2023, the European Commission adopted a new adequacy decision based on which personal data may be freely transferred from the European Union to companies in the USA that participate in the Data Privacy Framework.

The adequacy decision is based on Article 45 of the General Data Protection Regulation and represents a mechanism that ensures the secure and lawful transfer of data to third countries. Companies in the USA that wish to participate in the Data Privacy Framework must undergo a self-certification process and be registered on the list of companies that have joined the Data Privacy Framework.

The Organizers will use the adequacy decision for the transfer of personal data with service providers that successfully self-certify and join the Data Privacy Framework.

The Organizers will use the applicable Standard Contractual Clauses under the General Data Protection Regulation for the transfer of personal data with service providers that do not join the Data Privacy Framework.

We will additionally inform you about all measures taken and, after the adjustment period has elapsed, we will also amend our policies.
