What are the purposes and legal basis for processing your personal data and for what period will it be processed?

The entity placing information in the form of cookies (and other similar technologies on the User’s end device (e.g., computer, laptop, smartphone, Smart TV) and accessing them are entities from Digital Carbon and Trusted Partners, i.e., entities cooperating with Digital Carbon such partners providing analytical services, advertisers, application developers, network advertising agencies (hereinafter we will use the abbreviation “Placing entities”).

Cookies are IT data, in particular text files, which are stored on the terminal equipment of Users on websites and applications. Cookies usually contain the domain name of the website from which they originate, their storage time on the terminal device and a unique number. Cookies are not used to identify the user and the user’s identity is not determined on their basis. The publisher’s website may place a cookie in the browser if the browser allows it. Importantly, the browser allows the website to access only cookies placed by this website and not to files placed by other websites.

Why do we use them?

We use cookies and other similar technologies for the purposes of:

  1. The provision of services;
  2. Adapting the content of websites and applications to the User’s preferences and optimising the use of websites; e.g. cookies allow in particular to recognise the User’s device and properly display a website tailored to his individual needs;
  3. Creating statistics that help to understand how Users use websites and applications, which allows improving their structure and content;
  4. Maintaining the User’s session (after logging in), by which the User does not have to re-enter the login and password on every subpage of the given website and application;
  5. Presentation of advertisements, in a manner that takes into account the interests of the User or his place of residence (individualising the advertising message) and with the guarantee of excluding the possibility of repeatedly presenting the same advertisement to the User;
  6. The implementation of surveys – in particular to avoid the repeated presentation of the same survey to the same Recipient and to present surveys in a way that takes into account the interests of recipients.

The types of cookies we use

Due to the lifetime of cookies and other similar technologies, we use two basic types:

  1. Session – temporary files stored on the User’s end device until logging out, leaving the website and application, or turning off the software (web browser);
  2. Permanent – stored on the User’s end device for the time specified in the cookie file parameters or until they are deleted by the User.

Due to the purpose of cookies and other similar technologies, we use the following types:

  1. Necessary for the operation of the service and application – enabling the use of our services, e.g. authentication cookies used for services that require authentication;
  2. Files used to ensure security, e.g., used to detect fraud in the field of authentication;
  3. Performance – enabling the collection of information on how to use websites and applications;
  4. Functional – allowing the settings selected by the User to be “remembered” and personalising the User’s interface, e.g., in terms of the selected language or region of the User, font size, appearance of the website and application, etc.;
  5. Advertising – enabling delivery of advertising content more tailored to their interests;
  6. Statistical – used for counting statistics on websites and applications.

Other technologies

To ensure our services may be utilised with maximum convenience, we use Local Storage (LS) technology, which is similar in principle to cookies, but has slightly different properties. LS is a separate part of the browser’s memory used to store data saved by websites. Access to it can only be obtained by the website operating on the same site from which the data was saved, but unlike cookies, they are not sent by the browser each time the server is referenced. Data in LS are stored for a long time by the browser and are not deleted after closing the browser or have a specific validity period. We emphasise that we do not use this technology to “track” or identify users, but only for convenience and to provide services at the highest level. We use LS technology, e.g., to save settings, save configuration or to save data on recommended entries.

Manage browser settings

In many cases, the software used for browsing websites (web browser) by default allows information to be stored in the form of cookies and other similar technologies on the User’s end device. However, the User can change these settings at any time. Failure to make changes means that the above-mentioned information may be posted and stored in his end device, and thus that we will store information on the user’s end device and access this information.

From the level of the web browser used by the User, it is possible, for example, to independently manage cookies. The most popular browsers include possibility:

  1. Accepting cookies, which allows the User to fully use the options offered by websites;
  2. Management of cookies at the level of individual websites selected by the User;
  3. Defining settings for various types of cookies, e.g., accepting permanent files as session files, etc.;
  4. Blocking or deleting cookies.
