(hereinafter: “Data Controller”)

If a cookie is operated by a third party (e.g., Google), the data recorded in the cookie will be sent to the operator. These operators act as independent data controllers.

2. What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small text file stored on the hard drive of a computer or mobile device for a specified period and activated during future visits (reporting back to the web server). Websites use cookies to record information about visits (visited pages, time spent on pages, browsing data, exits, etc.) and personal settings. This tool helps develop a user-friendly website, enhancing visitors’ online experience.

Cookies can be differentiated by their duration, function, and source as follows:

2.1. Session and Persistent Cookies

There are two types of cookies based on their duration: “session cookies” and “persistent cookies.”

• Session Cookies: These are temporarily stored on the computer, notebook, or mobile device until the visitor leaves the website. These cookies help the system retain information, so data does not need to be re-entered. Session cookies are limited to the user’s current session and help prevent data loss (e.g., while completing a long form). They automatically delete when the session ends or the browser is closed.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain stored even after leaving the website. Persistent cookies enable the website to recognize returning visitors. For example, persistent cookies are essential for sites requiring user authentication (e.g., online stores, online banking, webmail). Persistent cookies themselves do not contain personal data but can identify the user when matched with a server database.

2.2. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

If our web server places the cookie on the device, it is a first-party cookie, while if it comes from an external provider (e.g., Google) embedded in the website code, it is a third-party cookie.

2.3. Necessary, Preference-Saving, Statistical, and Marketing Cookies

• Necessary Cookies: These ensure essential functions for the website. For example, form-filling aids. No visitor consent is required since the website cannot function without these cookies.
• Preference-Saving Cookies: These remember visitor preferences, enhancing ease of use without being essential. Visitor consent is required for such cookies.
• Statistical Cookies: These collect statistical data on how visitors use the website, such as viewed topics, clicked items, or scrolling behavior, helping determine the most viewed articles. Visitor consent is required.
• Marketing Cookies: These enable targeted, personalized ads across various ad platforms (e.g., Google, Facebook). They analyze viewing patterns and record visits and video views.

3. What Cookies Do We Use?

5. Automatically Recorded Data

When you view our website, the IP address of your device (e.g., laptop, PC, phone, tablet) is automatically recorded. These data are logged automatically by the web server without a separate statement or action by you. The system generates statistical data, which, except when mandated by law, cannot be linked to other personal data. This information is exclusively used in an aggregated format for statistical purposes, to improve service quality, and to rectify possible errors.

Purpose of Processing:
To develop the IT system, monitor service operation, and compile statistics. In case of abuse, data may be used in cooperation with the Internet provider and authorities to identify abuse sources. Recording these data is inherent in the technology, making website viewing without it impossible.

Legal Basis:
Legitimate interest in ensuring the proper operation of the website per Section 13/A (3) of Act CVIII of 2001 on Electronic Commerce and Information Society Services [GDPR Article 6 (1)(f)].

Duration of Processing:
Depends on the nature of cookies, as described in detail in section 3.5.
