DIVISION OF COOKIES

Depending on who creates and processes them, cookies can be divided into two categories:

  • First party cookie – their validity is limited to the website domain that created the cookie file. They are most often used to ensure the basic functionality of the website.
  • Third party cookie – they are placed by using a script from a different domain. This way it is possible to follow the user across various websites. These are mostly cookies of advertising systems, social media widgets or input videos cookies.

Depending on the durability, cookies can be divided into two categories:

  • Session cookie – they will be deleted from your computer after closing the website.
  • Persistent cookie –they remain after closing the browser, they will be deleted only after a very long time (depending on your browser settings and cookie settings). You can also delete these cookies manually.

 

What are cookies used for on this website?

On this website we use these cookies:

  • Technical – first party, session cookies. They ensure the basic technical functionality of the website such as login, use of services, etc.
  • Technical – first party, persistent cookies. They ensure remembering of user preferences, eg remembering the user name, specific settings of web pages, etc.
  • Google Analytics – first party, persistent cookies. They are used to measure anonymous statistics on the user’s behaviour.
  • Social networks – (third party, persistent cookies) – used to share site content through social networks.

WHICH COUNTRIES DO WE TRANSFER YOUR PERSONAL DATA TO?

 

By default, we restrict any cross-border transfers of personal data to third countries outside the EU and/or the European Economic Area unless necessary. However, some of our sub-suppliers or recipients of personal data listed above may be based or have servers located in the United States of America (USA). The USA is generally considered a third country that does not provide an adequate level of protection, however, any transfer of personal data outside the EU and/or the European Economic Area is only done in strict compliance with the data protection requirements of the GDPR. As the decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the Schrems II case of 16 July 2020 invalidated data transfers under the so-called EU-US Privacy Shield in most cases, our subcontractors use standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission as a special legal guarantee for data transfers. In special cases, where data transfers occur only exceptionally, we carry out international transfers on the basis of the special situation exemption within the meaning of Article 49 GDPR, subject to compliance with all legal conditions. Specifically, in XX's conditions, there are cross-border transfers of personal data to third countries not guaranteeing an adequate level of protection of personal data in the context of the use of the services of various personal data recipients, in particular from the category of: i) social network operators (Facebook, Instagram, Google (Youtube), Linkedln, etc.) , ii) OTT services (WhatsApp/Facebook), iii) security services, iv) web analytics and SDK implementation on XX's websites (Add this, Facebook, Google), v) statistical analysis providers (Google), vi) others. In most of these cases, the cross-border transfer of personal data to the US takes place on the basis of standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, while in other cases the cross-border transfer takes place under the special situations exception within the meaning of Article 49 GDPR. In general, if we need to carry out a cross-border transfer of personal data to the USA, we will always use standard contractual clauses approved by the (EU) Commission or require other reasonable safeguards.

 

In the table below, you can find a link to reasonable or appropriate safeguards and means of exercising your rights under the GDPR:
