2. What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small data file that a website places on, or reads from, the device used by a visitor for browsing, such as a computer, mobile phone or tablet.

Cookies may serve various functions. Some cookies are necessary for the proper and secure operation of the website, while others may, for example, allow the website to remember the visitor’s previous preferences, analyse the use of the website for statistical purposes or, where such technology is used, provide personalised content or marketing communications.

Cookies may be either session cookies, which operate only for the duration of a browsing session, or persistent cookies, which remain on the visitor’s device for a specified period of time.

3. Types of Cookies That May Be Used on the Website

3.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the proper and secure operation of the website and for providing functions explicitly requested by the visitor.

Such cookies may include cookies that maintain a browsing session, support security functions or remember the visitor’s cookie preferences.

Without these cookies, the website or certain of its functions would not operate or would not operate properly.

The use of strictly necessary cookies does not depend on the visitor’s consent and, therefore, such cookies may be activated automatically when the website is accessed.

3.2. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the website to remember certain choices and preferences made by the visitor and thereby provide a more convenient and personalised experience.

Where a particular functional cookie is not strictly necessary for providing a service explicitly requested by the visitor, it will only be used with the visitor’s prior consent.

3.3. Statistical and Analytical Cookies

These cookies may enable the Firm to obtain information about how visitors use the website, such as which pages they visit, how much time they spend on individual pages, or how they navigate the website.

The information obtained in this way may be used to analyse and improve the operation of the website.

Non-essential statistical or analytical cookies may only be used with the visitor’s prior consent.

3.4. Marketing Cookies

Marketing or advertising cookies may be used if the Firm employs a service on the website that enables the tracking of visitors’ online activities, analysis of their interests, or the display of personalised advertisements.

Where the website uses such cookies, they may only be activated following the visitor’s prior and voluntary consent.

4. Third-Party Cookies and External Services

The Firm may use services provided by third parties to operate certain functions of the website.

These may include, for example:

• web analytics services;
• mapping services;
• embedded video or other media content;
• spam and bot protection;
• external fonts or other technical content;
• social media services.

Some of these services may use their own cookies or similar technologies.

Under the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, users must be provided with appropriate information, including information about the duration of cookies and whether third parties may have access to such cookies.

Where a technology used by a third party is not strictly necessary for providing a service explicitly requested by the visitor, it may only be activated following the visitor’s appropriate prior consent.

5. Cookies Actually Used on the Website

The website uses Cookiebot to manage visitors’ consent to the use of cookies.

Cookiebot classifies cookies into the following categories:

• Necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for the basic operation of the website. Their use does not require separate consent, provided that they are strictly necessary for the functioning of the website.
• Preference cookies: These cookies may be used to remember visitors’ preferences and selected settings.
• Statistics cookies: These cookies may be used to collect and analyse statistical information about how visitors use the website.
• Marketing cookies: These cookies may be used to track visitors’ activities and display personalised advertisements.

The website requests visitors’ prior consent before using cookies that are not strictly necessary.

Visitors can review and modify their consent preferences or withdraw previously given consent at any time through the Cookiebot cookie settings interface.

The identification of the cookies actually used on the website and the verification of their technical characteristics are currently in progress.

6. Consent to the Use of Cookies

When the visitor first accesses the website, the cookie settings interface provides an opportunity to obtain information about the cookies used and to freely decide whether to consent to cookies requiring consent.

The visitor may:

• accept all cookies requiring consent;
• reject non-essential cookies; or
• select the categories of cookies to which they consent.

Cookies requiring consent may not be activated before the visitor has given consent.

Consent to the use of cookies is voluntary, and refusing consent does not prevent the use of the website’s basic, strictly necessary functions.

Under ePrivacy regulations, users must be provided with clear information and a genuine choice regarding the use of cookies.

7. Withdrawal of Consent and Changing Cookie Settings

Visitors may withdraw their consent to the use of non-essential cookies at any time, as easily as they gave it.

Consent preferences may be modified or withdrawn through the cookie settings available on the website. Visitors may also manage or delete cookies through their browser settings.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.

8. Managing Cookies in the Browser

Visitors may also view, delete or disable cookies through their browser settings.

Most browsers provide options to:

• view and delete cookies;
• disable all or selected cookies;
• disable third-party cookies;
• automatically delete cookies when the browser is closed.

However, completely disabling cookies may adversely affect the operation of certain website functions.

9. Amendments to this Cookie Policy

The Firm reserves the right to amend this Cookie Policy, in particular in the event of changes to the operation of the website, the technologies used, or the applicable legal framework.

The current version of the Cookie Policy is always available on the Firm’s website.
