I. What are “cookies” and local data storage (“cookies” and similar technologies)?
“Cookies” are small text files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you access websites. Domain owner cookies (first-party cookies) are those that are determined by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are those cookies that are used by domains other than the website you are visiting.
Like „cookies”, local storage technology, if used, allows websites to store information on a computer or mobile device. Local storage is usually persistent and, unlike ”cookies”, data in local storage is not automatically transferred over the Internet each time the website that stored it is visited.
II. How we use cookies and similar technologies?
We use „cookies” and similar technologies on our Website to:
• improve the performance of the respective websites and the user experience,
