Legal basis

The basis for the cookie notification is the amended Electronic Communications Act (Official Gazette No. 109/2012; ZEKom-1 for short), which entered into force in early 2013 and introduced new rules on the use of cookies and similar technologies for storing information or access to information stored on the user’s computer or mobile device.

What are cookies and why a website needs them

A cookie is a small text file that is downloaded to a user’s computer when they visit the website and usually contains:

the name of the server from which the cookie was sent;
the lifespan of the cookie;
value – usually a randomly generated unique number.

The cookie itself does not contain or collect information. However, if it is read by the server along with a web browser, it can help the site run more user-friendly services – for example, by recalling previous purchases or user account information. Only the server that sent the cookie can read and use this cookie.

On a trustworthy website, cookies can enrich the experience. However, cookies can also be used in ways that violate an individual’s privacy. Cookies can be stored for different lengths of time, just for the duration of the browsing session, or much longer.

Which cookies we use on the site and why
