5. RECIPIENTS OF PERSONAL DATA
In connection with the operation of the website and the provision of services, your personal data may be disclosed to third-party entities. These may include providers of IT systems and solutions we use, entities providing marketing and public relations services, or our legal and tax advisors. These are always professional entities specializing in the services they provide.
Disclosure is always made in accordance with applicable law and only after verifying that the entity implements the appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, as well as complying with the requirements outlined in data protection laws, including GDPR.

Cookies typically contain the website name, the duration of their storage on your device, and their type (e.g., browser, screen resolution, etc.), as well as a unique IP address.
What types of cookies are there?
Typically, two main types of cookies are used: “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies.

If you block these cookies, we won’t be able to gather usage data or monitor website performance, and the website may not function as smoothly.
b. Marketing cookies – we may use ads to promote certain services, articles, or events, displayed on other websites. These cookies help make advertising messages more relevant and tailored to your preferences. They also prevent the same ads from appearing repeatedly.

Regardless of your consent, we will process necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for the functioning of the website and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are typically used in response to your actions, such as setting privacy options, logging in, or filling out forms.
You can change your browser settings to block these, but the website may not work properly.
Why do we collect cookies?
By using cookies, we can:
a. Better present our content to you – this includes checking which types of messages have already been presented to you, so they don’t appear again, and adjusting content to your interests.
b. Ensure the secure and smooth operation of the website and the forms we provide – this includes securing our site against automated content-checking software that may reduce its efficiency.
c. Present personalized offers and promotions.
d. Monitor statistics about how the website is used – this involves creating anonymous statistics covering your visits and actions on the site.
