This website has to store a small amount of information (cookies) on your computer so it will function properly and enable us to make further improvements to the site, enhancing your browsing experience. More than 90% of all websites use cookies, but according to European Union regulations adopted on 25 March 2011 we are obligated to ask for permission before storing cookies.

What is a cookie?
Generally speaking, a cookie is information stored on a computer by websites you visit. Cookies often store your preferences and settings for a website, such as your preferred language or location. When you again visit the same website, your browser sends back the cookies that belong to that site. This allows the site to present information customized to your needs.
Cookies can store a wide range of information, including personal information (such as your name or email address). However, this information can only be stored if you enable it – websites cannot access information you didn’t provide to them, and can’t access other files on your computer. By default, activities of storing and sending cookies are not visible to you. However, you can change your browser settings to allow you to approve or deny cookie storage requests, delete stored cookies automatically when you close the browser, and more.

What are temporary cookies?
Temporary or session cookies are removed from your computer by closing the browser. Websites use them to store temporary information, such as items in your shopping cart.
What are persistent cookies?
Persistent or stored cookies remain on your computer after you close your web browser. Websites use them to store information, such as usernames and passwords, so you don’t have to sign in every time you visit a specific site. Persistent cookies remain on your computer for days, months, even years.
What are first-party cookies?
First-party cookies are sent by the visited website, and can be persistent or session. Websites use these cookies to store information that they’ll reuse the next time you visit that specific site.

What kind of cookies does the website use and why?
- Session cookies – are temporary cookies that expire (and are automatically deleted) when you close the browser. We use "session cookies" to improve the user experience during the visit.

We use permanent cookies to understand the habits of our users better, so that we can improve the website. However, based on the information collected that way, we cannot identify yourself as user, and the collected data is used exclusively for statistical purposes.
