Detailed information about the possibility and methods of handling cookies is available in the settings of your software (web browser). Failure to change the settings for cookies means that they will be placed on the user’s terminal device, and thus we will store information on the user’s terminal device and access this information.

Data collection and use

Following the practice of most Web sites, we store HTTP requests directed to our server. This means that we know the public IP addresses from which users browse the information content of our service. URLs identify the resources viewed. Our servers also automatically record such data as the page request sent by the user, the date and time of the request, device data (e.g. hardware model), browser type, browser language, and operating system type.

This data is used to ensure the stability and security of the sites’ operation. The collected logs are kept indefinitely as evidence for the administration of the service and possibly for explanatory activities carried out by state institutions authorized to do so by law.
