Date of Entry into Force: 04 November 2024

This Cookie Policy explains how Viresta s.r.o. (hereinafter “the Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), registered in the Czech Republic, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. By continuing to browse or utilise our services, you are consenting to our use of cookies as described in this policy. This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy. If you have any queries regarding this Cookie Policy or our general cookie practices, please feel free to reach out to us at the contact information provided in Section 7.

1. Understanding Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (whether a computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They store specific information related to your browsing activity and preferences, allowing websites to recognise your device on subsequent visits and remember particular settings or choices. Cookies help provide you with a more personalised browsing experience by remembering key information such as your login status, language settings, and other preferences.

In addition to traditional cookies, other technologies like pixel tags, session storage, and SDKs can function similarly to collect data or enhance website functionalities. For simplicity, in this policy, the term “cookies” broadly refers to both cookies and these comparable tracking technologies.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

To improve our website and your experience, we use several types of cookies, which fall into the following two categories:

  1. Essential Cookies: Essential cookies are necessary for the core functions of our website and are crucial to ensure seamless, secure, and consistent service. They allow you to navigate the website effectively, facilitate secure logins, and maintain website security. Since these cookies are fundamental to the website’s operation, they are exempt from needing user consent, meaning they may be stored in your browser without explicit approval.
  2. Non-Essential Cookies: Non-Essential Cookies are optional but enhance your browsing experience. These cookies enable additional features and functionalities, support marketing and social media integration, and help us better understand user engagement on our website. Upon your first visit, you will be asked to set your preferences for these cookies. We respect your choices and provide you with full control over your non-essential cookie settings.

Each of these cookie categories serves a unique purpose to optimise your experience and enhance our service delivery.

3. Why We Use Cookies

Our use of cookies serves several core purposes, all intended to improve and personalise your experience on our website. Specifically, we use cookies for:

  1. Authentication and Security: Cookies play a critical role in verifying your identity during the login process, ensuring a secure browsing experience, and providing access to personalised content tailored to your preferences.
  2. Preference Settings: Cookies help us remember various settings and preferences, including language and regional settings, so that you can enjoy a more customised and user-friendly experience on our website. By remembering these preferences, we can make your interactions with our website more efficient and enjoyable.
  3. Analytics and Performance Monitoring: We use cookies to understand how users engage with our website, track visitor behaviour, and gather insights into the usage patterns of our services. This analytical data enables us to improve the website’s structure, functionality, and content, ensuring a high-quality user experience.
  4. Marketing and Personalised Advertising: Cookies may also be used to deliver tailored advertisements that are relevant to your interests. By working with trusted advertising partners, we strive to ensure that the marketing content you encounter on our website aligns with your preferences.

Through these purposes, cookies help us provide a more refined, interactive, and tailored experience for each of our users, allowing us to understand and meet your needs more effectively.

4. Customising Your Cookie Preferences

We offer you flexibility in managing your cookie preferences based on the type of cookies in use:

  1. Managing Essential Cookies: Essential Cookies are critical for providing the main functionalities of our website, such as enabling secure account access and allowing you to navigate core areas. Due to their importance in delivering basic services, Essential Cookies cannot be disabled within our system settings.
  2. Managing Non-Essential Cookies: Non-Essential Cookies are optional, and you have the freedom to accept or reject them based on your preferences. Your settings for these cookies can be adjusted using your browser’s settings or through the cookie consent management tool provided on our website. This tool offers you the ability to tailor your cookie preferences easily and ensure that your browsing experience aligns with your comfort level.

Your ability to control your cookie settings guarantees that you have full authority over the types of cookies stored on your device.

5. Cookie Storage and Retention

Our commitment to responsible data handling extends to how we store cookies, with adherence to reasonable retention periods as mandated by law. Below are the general types of cookies we store:

  1. Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are automatically erased from your device when you close your browser. Session cookies are essential for maintaining your browsing session, allowing seamless navigation and functionality during your visit. Importantly, session cookies do not retain any information beyond your active session.
  2. Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a specified duration, facilitating continuity in your preferences and login details across multiple visits. To safeguard your privacy, we limit the storage of persistent cookies to a reasonable timeframe, generally no longer than 12 months. This duration ensures a secure, consistent, and personalised experience each time you visit our website.

We continuously evaluate and adjust our data handling practices, maintaining a commitment to secure and responsible management of cookie-related information.

6. Updates to This Cookie Policy

As we refine our services and adapt to evolving legal standards, this Cookie Policy may be subject to periodic updates. We recommend reviewing this policy occasionally to stay informed about our cookie practices. In the event of significant changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you via email or by placing a prominent notice on our website.
