I. What are cookies and local storage (cookies and similar technologies)?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you sign in to websites. First-party cookies are those that are determined by the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies are cookies that are used by other domains other than the website you visit.
Like cookies, local storage technology, if used, allows websites to store information on a computer or mobile device. Local storage is most common and, unlike cookies, local storage data is not automatically transferred over the Internet whenever the website that stores it is visited.
II. How do we use cookies and similar technologies?
We use cookies and similar technologies on our Website in order to:
- improve the presentation of relevant websites and consumer experience,
- we measure ad exposure and online media by determining when, how often, on which websites, online ads, media, and other content are displayed on your device.
III. Types of cookies:
Our Web site may use the following types of cookies:
(1) Essential cookies:
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to perform its functions. We use these cookies for example in the following cases:
* to identify the authenticity and identity of our users when they use our Site so that we can provide our services;
* so that we can fulfill our duties and maintain the security of our services.
(2) Performance and functionality cookies:
These cookies are not strictly necessary but allow us to personalize your online experience with our websites. We use these cookies for example:

* to determine how often you and other users visit our Sites;
Often, these cookies aim to deliver ads that are tailored to you – both on our sites and outside of them. These types of ads are known as “interest-based advertising.” Many of these types of cookies belong to our service providers.
(4) Session Cookies:
We may also use session cookies, for example:
* to allow you to navigate between the individual pages of our Site without having to log in again. This practice is known as “single sign-on”;
* to recognize you when you return to our Site in order to use our services;
* to take test responses to show your score;
* to keep the answers to a filled-in questionnaire form (and do not have to fill out the questionnaire repeatedly).

VII. Can website users block cookies?
Yes, you can change your browser’s privacy settings to block all cookies; this may seriously affect the functionality of the website and its use by you, as many websites may not function properly. Your browser may allow you to delete all cookies when it closes.
