In accordance with the provisions of § 89 of Act No. 127/2005 Coll., on Electronic Communications, as amended, we hereby inform you that our server uses cookies for its operation. A cookie is a short text file that is sent to the browser by the visited website. It allows the website to record information about your visits, such as your preferred language and other settings. This can make your next visit to the site easier and more productive. Cookies are important. Without them, browsing the web would be much more difficult.

Cookies serve a number of purposes. For example, we use them to store your secure search settings, to select relevant ads, to track the number of visitors to the site, to help you register for new services, to protect your data, or to store your ad settings.

You can read more below about the types of cookies we use on our services and how we and our partners (such as Google) use these cookies in advertising.  For more information about our privacy policy, please click here.  This privacy policy describes how we use cookies to protect your personal information and other data.

Cookies take up almost no space on your computer's hard drive and are usually a few kilobytes in size. Cookies are not used to collect any sensitive personal data or to identify you as a specific person.

Standard web browsers support the management of cookies. Please use your browser's help for more detailed information. If your browser has cookies enabled, we will assume that you consent to our servers' use of standard cookies.

Types of cookies

There are two types of cookies - temporary cookies, which are stored on your computer only until the end of your browser session, and persistent cookies, which remain stored on your computer for longer. Temporary cookies allow information to be retained as you move from one website to another and remove the need to re-enter certain information.

Persistent cookies help us to identify your computer if you revisit our website, but they do not allow us to identify you personally in any way. Another advantage of persistent cookies is that they allow us to tailor our site to your interests and prevent you from seeing the same advertisement repeatedly. However, even in this case, we cannot identify you personally in any way and we store the relevant data completely anonymised and do not link it to any other data.

What do we use cookies for?

To save personal settings
These cookies allow our website to remember information that affects the look or feel of the site. This includes, for example, your preferred language or the region you are in. For example, the website can provide local weather forecasts or traffic reports based on information about the area. These cookies also help you change the size of text, fonts and other elements of the website that can be personalised.

For security
We also use cookies to authenticate users, prevent fraudulent use of login credentials, and protect user data from access by unauthorized parties.

For statistical logging, traffic measurement and network security
The analytics software stores anonymous cookies each time you visit our site. These help to determine how many users visit our site repeatedly. This gives us a better understanding of how readers behave on our site, what they prefer and what interests them. We also use Google Analytics for these purposes. Details about this tool can be found here. This information is not linked to any other information in any way. We, therefore, know how many people repeatedly visit a given section per month. However, we do not know by name who they are. The data we record may also be used to help secure our network and prevent attacks on it.

To store registration information
To store registration informationWe store login or logout information in cookies for registered users.

For advertising purposes
We also use cookies to make advertisements more appealing to you as a user. Cookies are commonly used to select ads based on what is relevant to the user (remarketing), to improve campaign performance reports, and to prevent the user from being shown ads they have already seen. We only use remarketing data to segment visitors in order to deliver more relevant advertising messages. Segments are created based on several general patterns of visitor behaviour and the content of the pages they visit. As part of segmentation, we may also collect general information about the approximate geographic location of your computer or mobile device. This data is collected to provide personalized content based on your geographic location.

In addition, some cookies are created directly by advertising systems. They track how many people have seen a particular ad or how many have seen it repeatedly.

Advertising systems usually have their own privacy policies; our server cannot read or write these cookies. We use the systems listed below to show you our advertising.
