Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 2026

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as your preferred language, theme, and whether you are logged into your account.

Cookies can be set by us ("first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services we use ("third-party cookies"). By duration, they can be: "session" cookies — deleted when you close the browser, and "persistent" cookies — remaining for a specified period.

2. Types of cookies we use

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of the platform. Without them, you cannot log into your account, navigate between pages, or use protected features. Essential cookies cannot be disabled and do not require your consent, as they are technically necessary.

Functional cookies

Allow us to remember your preferences and personalize your experience — for example, your chosen interface language or theme (light/dark). If you disable them, the platform will still work, but some preferences will not be saved between visits.

Analytics cookies

Help us understand how users interact with the platform — which pages are visited most frequently, where difficulties arise, and how we can improve the service. Data is anonymized and does not allow identification of individual users. These cookies are only set after your explicit consent.

4. Managing cookies

You have full control over non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time in the following ways:

  • Through the consent banner — it appears on your first visit and allows you to choose which cookie categories to accept
  • Through the "Cookie Settings" button in the footer of every page
  • Through your browser settings — you can block or delete cookies for specific sites or for all sites

Please note that blocking essential cookies may make the platform unusable.

5. What happens if you decline cookies?

If you decline non-essential cookies:

  • Functional cookies: your language and theme preferences will not be saved — you will need to select them on each visit
  • Analytics cookies: we will not collect usage statistics — this does not affect the platform's functionality in any way

Essential cookies cannot be declined, as the platform cannot function without them.

6. Legal basis

The use of cookies is based on:

  • Essential cookies: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — technically necessary for providing the service
  • Functional and analytics cookies: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which can be withdrawn at any time

7. Third-party cookies

We use third-party services that may place their own cookies on your device. These cookies are only set if you have consented to analytics cookies. We do not use cookies for advertising purposes and do not share data with advertising networks.

8. Policy changes

We may update this policy periodically, for example when adding new features or changing the services we use. For material changes, we will notify you through an updated consent banner so you can review and confirm your preferences again.
