Affidea’s Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Affidea (“we”, “us” and “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise you when you visit our website at affidea.cz (the “Website”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work or work more efficiently, and also to provide information and analytics.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Affidea) are called ‘first-party cookies’. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called ‘third-party cookies’. Third-party cookies enable the provision of third-party features or functions on or via the website (e.g. advertising, interactive content and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies may recognise your computer both when you visit the relevant website and when you visit certain other websites.
Cookies may be either session cookies or persistent cookies. A session cookie expires at the end of the user’s session, i.e. when the web browser is closed. A persistent cookie is stored by the browser and remains valid until its specified expiry date (unless the user deletes it before the expiry date). Persistent cookies are listed in the table below, with their respective lifespans shown in brackets. All cookies that do not have a lifespan listed after their name are session cookies.
