6. Controller Logs

Information on user behavior on the site may be subject to logging. This data is used for the administration of the website.

7. Important marketing techniques
  • The Operator uses statistical analysis of website traffic via Google Analytics (Google Inc. based in the USA). The Operator does not pass personal data to the operator of this service, only anonymized information. The service is based on the use of cookies on the user's terminal device. Regarding information about user preferences collected by the Google advertising network, the user can view and edit information resulting from cookie files using the tool: https://www.google.com/ads/preferences/
  • The Operator uses remarketing techniques, allowing advertising messages to be matched to the user's behavior on the site, which may give the illusion that the user's personal data is used to track them, but in practice, no personal data is transferred from the Operator to advertising operators. The technological condition for such activities is enabled support for cookie files.
  • The Operator uses the Facebook pixel. This technology causes Facebook (Facebook Inc. based in the USA) to know that a given person registered in it is using the Website. In this case, it relies on data for which it is the controller itself; the Operator does not transfer any additional personal data to Facebook. The service is based on the use of cookies on the user's terminal device.
  • The Operator uses a solution analyzing user behavior by creating heat maps and recording behavior on the site. This information is anonymized before being sent to the service operator so that they do not know which natural person it concerns. In particular, entered passwords and other personal data are not recorded.
  • The Operator uses a solution automating the operation of the Website in relation to users, e.g. which can send an email to a user after visiting a specific subpage, provided they have consented to receiving commercial correspondence from the Operator.
8. Information about cookie files
  • The Website uses cookie files.
  • Cookie files ("cookies") are IT data, in particular text files, which are stored on the Website User's terminal device and are intended for using the Website's pages. Cookies usually contain the name of the website they come from, the storage time on the terminal device, and a unique number.
  • The entity placing cookie files on the Website User's terminal device and accessing them is the Website operator.
  • Cookie files are used for the following purposes:
    • maintaining the Website user's session (after logging in), thanks to which the user does not have to re-enter their login and password on each subpage of the Website;
    • achieving the goals specified above in the "Important marketing techniques" section;
  • The Website uses two basic types of cookie files: "session" (session cookies) and "persistent" (persistent cookies). "Session" cookies are temporary files that are stored on the User's terminal device until logging out, leaving the website, or turning off the software (web browser). "Persistent" cookie files are stored on the User's terminal device for the time specified in the cookie file parameters or until they are deleted by the User.
  • Software for browsing web pages (web browser) usually allows the storage of cookie files on the User's terminal device by default. Website Users can change settings in this regard. The web browser allows you to delete cookie files. It is also possible to automatically block cookie files. Detailed information on this subject is contained in the help or documentation of the web browser.
  • Restrictions on the use of cookie files may affect some of the functionalities available on the Website's pages.
  • Cookie files placed on the Website User's terminal device may also be used by entities cooperating with the Website operator, in particular this applies to companies: Google (Google Inc. based in the USA), Facebook (Facebook Inc. based in the USA), Twitter (Twitter Inc. based in the USA).
