2.1. A cookie is a small text file that a website or third-party service stores in a user's browser when the user visits a webpage.

2.2. Cookies may be used to: enable the operation of a website; protect forms and user requests; save preferences; maintain a session; remember a user's choices; obtain technical information about the use of a service.

2.3. Browser local storage, or localStorage, allows the Website to save limited settings directly on the user's device without automatically sending each stored value to the server whenever a page is loaded.

2.4. Similar technologies may include pixels, tags, device identifiers, embedded elements, and other methods of local storage or technical information exchange.

2.5. In this Cookie Policy, the term “storage technologies” collectively refers to cookies, localStorage, and other similar technologies.

3.1. The Website uses or may use only the following categories of technologies: strictly necessary technologies; localStorage for remembering the selected language; localStorage for remembering the user's choices regarding YouTube and Instagram; third-party cookies and technologies activated only after the user consents to loading the relevant content.

3.2. The Website does not use its own technologies for: web analytics; monitoring user behaviour for advertising purposes; creating advertising profiles; personalised advertising; retargeting; measuring advertising campaigns; transferring information to advertising networks; selling or commercially distributing user data.

4.1. Strictly necessary technologies support the essential, secure, and stable operation of the Website.

4.2. These technologies may be used for: protecting the contact form; preventing request forgery; preventing spam and automated abuse; maintaining information security; distributing server load; maintaining technical state within a session; ensuring the availability of essential Website functions.

4.3. Strictly necessary technologies are not used by the Company for advertising or independent analysis of user behaviour.

4.4. Because certain Website functions may not operate correctly or securely without these technologies, they may be used without separate consent to the extent permitted by applicable law.

4.5. The exact technical names, providers, and durations of strictly necessary cookies depend on the final configuration of the Website and its hosting environment.

4.6. Before launching the Website, the Company must conduct a technical review of the cookies actually used and, where necessary, update this Cookie Policy with their exact names and durations.

5.1. The Website is available in multiple languages.

5.2. The selected language is remembered using browser localStorage rather than a cookie.

5.3. The stored setting contains only an identifier for the selected language and is not intended to identify the user.

5.4. The setting remains stored on the user's device until: the user selects another language; the user clears the Website's data; the user deletes localStorage data through their browser settings; the Company changes the technical method used to store language preferences.

5.5. Deleting the language setting does not restrict access to the Website. The user may need to select their preferred language again.

6.1. The Website may contain embedded YouTube videos and Instagram content.

6.2. YouTube and Instagram content is not loaded directly from the relevant platform's servers until the user provides consent.

6.3. Before third-party content is loaded, the user is shown a locally stored cover image, placeholder, or notification inviting them to load the relevant content.

6.4. Third-party content is loaded only after an active action by the user.

6.5. After the user activates the content, their browser establishes a connection with Google or Meta servers.

6.6. The relevant platform may: receive the user's IP address; receive information about the user's browser, device, and operating system; receive the address of the page visited; place or read its own cookies; receive information about the user's interaction with the embedded content; associate the interaction with the user's account if the user is signed in to the relevant platform; use the information in accordance with its own policies and settings.

6.8. The use of such cookies is governed by the policies of the relevant providers.

8.2. Through the settings, the user may: review their current choices; allow or block YouTube; allow or block Instagram; withdraw previously provided consent; delete saved choices; access this Cookie Policy.

8.3. Withdrawal of consent applies to the subsequent loading of third-party content.

8.4. If third-party content was loaded before consent was withdrawn, information previously received by the relevant platform will continue to be processed under that platform's own terms and policies.

8.5. To remove third-party cookies completely, the user may need to clear cookies in their browser settings or use the settings provided by the relevant platform.

10.2. The method for managing cookies and local storage depends on the user's browser and device.

10.3. Blocking strictly necessary technologies may cause the contact form or other security functions to operate incorrectly.

10.4. Clearing localStorage will delete: the saved language selection; the saved YouTube consent choice; the saved Instagram consent choice.

10.5. After these settings are deleted, the Website may request the relevant choices again.

12.2. Consent to load YouTube and Instagram is stored for six months.

12.3. Strictly necessary session cookies may be deleted when the session ends or the browser is closed.
