Cookie Policy

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit it. Cookies serve different functions: some are essential to make the website work correctly, while others help improve the experience or allow the website operator to understand how the site is used. Cookies are not programs and cannot execute code or deliver viruses. They can be read only by the website that placed them, or by designated third-party services where applicable.

What legal basis applies to cookies in Poland?

Under Polish law and GDPR, strictly necessary cookies may be placed without prior consent, as they are required for the website to function. All other cookies require your prior, informed, and freely given consent before being placed on your device. Consent must be specific by category and may be withdrawn at any time. Our cookie consent tool, accessible via the shield icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen, allows you to provide or revoke consent by category at any time.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to operate and cannot be switched off. They are placed in response to actions you take, such as setting your cookie preferences. Without these cookies, the site cannot function properly. No consent is required for their use.

Cookies in this category include: the cookie preference storage cookie (pi_consent), which records your consent choices so you are not asked again on every visit. This cookie is session-persistent and expires after 365 days.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use the website, including which pages are visited most often and how visitors navigate between pages. The information collected is aggregated and anonymised, meaning it does not identify individual users. These cookies help improve the website over time by revealing how it is actually used.

We do not currently activate analytics cookies unless you provide consent through the cookie consent panel. If activated, we take steps to ensure that IP addresses are anonymised before being stored.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced features such as remembering your language preference or display settings. They do not track browsing activity across other websites. These cookies are optional and require your consent before being activated. Currently, pemiha.info uses a minimal set of functional cookies for the purpose of remembering user interface preferences within a single session.

Advertising and Targeting Cookies

This website does not currently use advertising or targeting cookies. No cookies are used to build advertising profiles, track users across third-party websites, or serve behavioural advertisements. If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated and your consent will be sought before any such cookies are placed.

How can you manage your cookie preferences?

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the shield icon in the bottom-right corner of any page on this website. This opens a panel where you can review the cookie categories and toggle non-essential categories on or off. Your preferences are stored in the pi_consent cookie on your device.

You may also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. Instructions for common browsers are available on their respective help pages. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites.

When this iframe is loaded, Google may place its own cookies on your device in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. You can prevent the Google Maps cookie from loading by adjusting your browser settings to block third-party cookies.

Updates to this Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated when we change the cookies used on this website or when applicable law changes. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy whenever you visit the site. Changes to cookies that require your consent will be communicated through the cookie consent panel, which will re-prompt you if a new category of optional cookie is introduced.
