Cookie Policy
Last updated: 24 June 2026
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. This page explains exactly which cookies this site uses, what they do, and how you can manage or remove them. We have written this in plain language rather than technical jargon.
What is a cookie and why do websites use them
When you visit a website, your browser can store a small file on your computer or mobile device. This file, a cookie, contains a small amount of data that the website can read on your next visit. Cookies serve different purposes: some are essential for a website to work at all, others help the website owner understand how visitors use the site, and others are used to show relevant advertising.
In Poland and across the EU, the use of non-essential cookies requires your informed consent under Directive 2002/58/EC (the ePrivacy Directive, as implemented in Polish law through the Telecommunications Law, Prawo telekomunikacyjne) and the GDPR. This is why we show you a cookie preference panel when you first visit this site.
Cookies we use
Necessary cookies
Necessary cookies are required for this website to function. They cannot be switched off. The only necessary cookie we set is ghd_consent, which records your cookie preferences. Without this cookie, you would be shown the cookie banner on every page you visit.
Necessary cookies do not require your consent under the ePrivacy Directive, as they fall within the exception for cookies that are strictly necessary for a service explicitly requested by the user.
Analytics cookies
If you consent to analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with this website. This includes information such as which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and which pages they arrive from. This data is aggregated and anonymized where possible. It helps us understand whether the content on this site is serving its purpose.
We have configured Google Analytics to anonymize IP addresses. Data collected through analytics cookies may be transferred to Google LLC servers in the United States under appropriate transfer safeguards (Standard Contractual Clauses). For more information about how Google handles this data, see Google's privacy documentation at policies.google.com/privacy.
Marketing cookies
If you consent to marketing cookies, we may use cookies associated with Google Ads to understand how advertising campaigns are performing. These cookies help us understand which advertising content led visitors to this site. No personally identifying data is shared with advertisers.
How to manage your preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time. When you first visit the site, the preference panel appears at the bottom of the page. You can return to it by clicking the cookie preferences link in the footer, or by clearing your ghd_consent cookie and reloading the page.
You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. The exact steps depend on which browser you use. Common browser guides:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions
Please be aware that blocking all cookies will prevent some parts of this website from functioning correctly, particularly the preference storage mechanism.
Third party cookies
Some cookies on this site are set by third parties, specifically Google LLC. We do not control how those third parties use the data they collect. We encourage you to review the relevant third-party privacy policies if you have concerns.
Your rights
Under the GDPR, you have the right to withdraw consent to cookie processing at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Polish data protection authority, the Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych (UODO), ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw, if you believe your cookie-related rights have not been respected.
Updates to this policy
We review this Cookie Policy periodically and update it when our cookie usage changes or when legal requirements change. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
