Privacy policy and the use of cookies

Collection and use of data

Like most www services, we store HTTP enquiries received on our server. That way we know public IP addresses from which users view the contents of our service. Viewed contents are identified based on URL addresses. We also have the information on:

• the time of receiving the enquiry,
• the time of sending the reply,
• name of the Client’s station – identification through the HTTP protocol,
• errors occurred during the HTTP transaction,
• the URL address of the previous website visited by the user – if they were directed to the website of our service through a reference,
• the user’s browser.

The data listed above are not assigned to particular persons viewing our service. In order to ensure the highest quality of the service, we analyze log files to determine whether there are any errors in the website structure, which subsites are viewed most often, etc.

Collected logs are stored for an indefinite period of time, as auxiliary material supporting service administration. Information contained therein is not disclosed to anyone except for persons authorized to manage the server. Based on logs, statistics can be generated which support administration of the service. Summary statements in form of statistics do not contain any data which could be used to identify persons visiting the service.
