c. The website uses cookies in accordance with the provisions of the Act of 12 July 2024 – Electronic Communications Law, in particular Articles 399–400, and taking into account the consent requirements arising from the GDPR.
2. What Cookies Are
a. Cookies are small text files stored on the user’s end device, such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone, when using the website.
b. Cookies may be read by the Controller’s ICT system or by third parties whose tools are used on the website.
c. For the purposes of this Policy, the term “cookies” also includes similar technologies, insofar as they involve storing information on the user’s device or gaining access to such information. Consent requirements cannot be circumvented by using other tracking techniques such as pixels, tracking links, or unique identifiers.
3. Legal Basis for the Use of Cookies
a. In accordance with Article 399 of the Electronic Communications Law, storing information on or gaining access to information already stored on the user’s device is permitted if the user has first been informed, in a clear, easy, and understandable manner, about the purpose of the cookies and the possibility of specifying the conditions for their use through the settings of the device or service, and has then given consent.
b. Consent may also be expressed through the settings of software installed on the device or through the configuration of the service, although in practice on websites this most often takes place via a banner or consent management panel.
c. According to Article 399(3) of the Electronic Communications Law, consent is not required if cookies are necessary for:
transmitting an electronic communication over a public telecommunications network, or
providing a telecommunications service or an electronically supplied service requested by the user.
d. Article 400 of the Electronic Communications Law provides that the provisions on personal data protection, i.e. the GDPR principles, apply accordingly to obtaining consent. This means, among other things, that consent must be freely given and that withdrawing it must be as easy as granting it.
4. Types of Cookies Used on the Website
The website may use the following types of cookies:
a. Necessary Cookies
These are cookies required for the proper functioning of the website or for the performance of a service requested by the user, for example maintaining a session, remembering selected technical settings, enabling the contact form, or ensuring security. These cookies may be used without the user’s consent, provided that they are genuinely necessary within the meaning of Article 399(3) of the Electronic Communications Law.
b. Functional Cookies
These cookies make it possible to remember user settings and improve the convenience of using the website, for example language selection, page layout, or other preferences. If they are not necessary for providing the service requested by the user, they require consent.
c. Analytical / Statistical Cookies
These cookies are used to collect information about how the website is used, including the number of visits, traffic sources, time spent on the site, and user behavior, in order to improve the website. If analytical tools are used that are not necessary, they require the user’s prior consent. The guidance referred to by the Polish DPA indicates that consent obligations also apply to tracking technologies other than classic cookies.
d. Marketing Cookies
These cookies may be used to tailor advertising content, measure the effectiveness of campaigns, and track user activity across websites. Such cookies require the user’s prior consent.
5. Purposes of Using Cookies
Cookies may be used for the following purposes:
ensuring the proper functioning of the website,
maintaining the user’s session,
remembering settings and preferences,
ensuring security,
compiling statistics and traffic analysis,
carrying out marketing activities, provided that the user has given consent.
If external tools are used on the website, for example analytical tools, the scope of cookies should be consistent with the actual configuration of the website. As of today, the visible front-end of the website shows an active cookie banner and the use of PrestaShop, but without a technical code audit, I do not categorically confirm which specific analytical or marketing tools are actually running.
6. Cookie Retention Period
a. Cookies may be:
session cookies – deleted after the browser session ends,
persistent cookies – stored for a specified period or until deleted by the user.
b. The retention period depends on the purpose and type of a given cookie and on the configuration of the tool used.
c. The Controller should limit the retention period of cookies to the time necessary to achieve their purpose, in accordance with the data minimization principle arising from the GDPR.
7. Managing Consent to Cookies
a. During the first visit to the website, the user should receive clear information about the use of cookies and be given the possibility to:
accept all cookies,
reject cookies other than necessary cookies,
select specific categories of cookies.
b. The user may change cookie settings or withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent should be as easy as granting it.
c. The user may also manage cookies through their web browser or device settings.
d. Restricting or disabling necessary cookies may cause some website functions to work incorrectly.
8. Third Parties
a. The website may use solutions provided by third parties, such as the hosting provider, the provider of the store software, and providers of analytical or marketing tools.
b. If such entities store or read cookies on the user’s device, this takes place in accordance with their own policies and within the scope of the consent granted by the user.
c. If such tools involve transfers of data outside the European Economic Area, the Controller should ensure an appropriate legal basis for such transfers in accordance with the GDPR. The European Commission indicates that the current EU privacy framework is based in parallel on the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive.
9. Personal Data and Cookies
a. Some cookies may involve the processing of personal data, in particular online identifiers, IP addresses, or information about the user’s activity.
