• What are cookies?

  Cookies are small text files that websites store on a user’s device, through which they access the internet. Their purpose is to enable the recognition of the device used by the user when visiting the website. Cookie management is entirely within the domain of the user’s web browser, where an individual can at any time set, limit, or completely disable their storage.

• Why are cookies necessary?

  Cookies play a crucial role in ensuring a pleasant and efficient online user experience. Without them, many functionalities of modern web services, especially in the field of e-commerce, would not be feasible. They enable faster and simpler interaction between the user and the website, as the website uses them to remember user settings and past choices. This shortens the information search time, and browsing becomes more fluid and personalized for the individual.

• Why do websites use cookies?

  Most websites use cookies as a convenient tool to provide updated and user-adapted content that matches their interests and habits. The reasons for their use are numerous — among other things, they enable the storage of information about the state of individual web pages and user adjustments, support the operation of various online services (such as online stores), and allow for the collection of statistical data on site usage. With their help, it is possible to monitor how often users visit a particular website, and they provide companies with insight into the effectiveness of web design and the suitability of advertising content offered to visitors.
