1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, phone or tablet). Other technologies, such as the browser’s local or session storage, work in a similar way. In this policy we refer to all of them as “cookies”.

3. Your consent
In accordance with Section 109(8) of the Slovak Act No. 452/2021 Coll. on Electronic Communications and the EU ePrivacy rules, we only store strictly necessary cookies on your device without your consent — those needed for the website to work. All other cookies (analytics) are stored only after you give your consent in the cookie banner.
In the banner you can accept all cookies, reject all cookies or choose individual categories. Rejecting cookies does not limit your access to the website’s content. We store your choice in the cookieyes-consent cookie for 1 year.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie icon in the bottom-left corner of the page, or here: Change cookie settings.

Advertising cookies
We currently do not use advertising cookies. If we start using them (for example to measure advertising campaigns), we will update this list and ask for your consent first.
Functional cookies
These allow us to display third-party content — specifically the Google Maps map on the Contact page. The map only loads after you allow the “Functional” category (or click “Accept All”), or after you click the “Show map” button. Until then, a placeholder is shown instead and no data is sent to Google. Once the map loads, Google may store its own cookies, which are governed by Google’s privacy policy.
