Cookies
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They can store various data, such as site settings or information about how you use the site.
Why do we use cookies?
We use cookies to:
- Remembering your preferences on the site so you don’t have to customize it every time.
- Analyzing user behavior to improve site functionality.
- Applying personalized content and advertising (if applicable).
How do I disable cookies?
You can change your browser settings to refuse the use of cookies. However, you should be aware that in this case some of the site’s functions may not work properly.
Links to other websites
Our website may contain links to third-party web resources such as YouTube, Instagram, Telegram and other external platforms. These links may lead to other sites that are not operated by us. We have no control over the content that is published on these sites, nor do we have control over their privacy policies or the way they handle data.
What does this mean?
Each linked site has its own privacy policy, which may differ from ours. For example, if you click on a link on YouTube, Instagram or Telegram, we cannot guarantee that your data will be protected in the same way as on our site. Therefore, we recommend that you always read each external resource’s privacy policy carefully to understand what data they may collect and how to use it.
Example:
If you follow a link on Instagram, the platform may collect data about your actions on the site, such as what photos you view or what you comment on. This may be used for advertising or personalized recommendations. We are not responsible for this.
We understand how important it is that your data remains secure, so we always advise you to check the privacy policies of external sites before submitting your personal data to them.
