2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files, which are stored on the terminal device of the Website User (e.g. a computer, a tablet or a smartphone that are hereinafter referred to as the “Device”) and are used to identify the user via the web application. For instance, when you use the online store and put products into the basket, the online store application must recognise which of the open baskets is yours, and this is the main reason for using cookies. The online store application places a cookie with a unique number on your Device. At any time while going through various sites of the online store, the application recognises your Device and knows which basket is yours. If no cookie was saved on your Device, then after vising another website and after returning to the store, the application would “forget” what was in your basket. Cookies can also be used for marketing purposes, which is discussed in more detail in item 8 below. In addition to cookies, on our Website, we may use technologies similar to cookies in their operation. The information in this document referring to cookies also applies to technologies similar to cookies.
