Cookie Policy

The company Elty sp. z o.o. would like to place cookie files on the user's computer to enhance the experience of using our websites and improve the quality of the services we offer.

New EU legislation and the amended Telecommunications Law have introduced new rules for informing users about how cookies are used on websites. To properly protect the interests of users and the comfort of using the website that refers to this document, we have developed this Cookie Policy. We believe that user privacy protection and transparency in the use of their data are very important. Thanks to this information, the user has the relevant knowledge, which increases satisfaction with using our websites.

I. What are cookies?

A cookie is simply a small text file containing data stored when a user visits a website. It is designed to enable the recall of information about what the user did on those websites in the past. These may include data on activities such as clicking specific links or pages, logging into a user profile, or reading page content that occurred months or even years ago.

There are several types of cookies. Without them, websites would not function in the way users have become accustomed to.

An example is a cookie that authorizes a user's login – without it, displaying the user's profile on a website would be impossible, or the website would display the message "Sorry, but you must log in" every time, because the user's data would not be remembered for that site.

The websites of the company operating our service want to use specific cookies to ensure the user has the most pleasant stay possible, while limiting their number and type to those that we believe are necessary and useful.

To this end, we have detailed the cookies used on our website and specified the purposes of using individual types of files, so that the user can consent to their use, decide to delete existing cookies, or disable cookie handling when browsing our websites.
