The website www.piecoserwis.pl of the company Przedsiębiorstwo Techniki Cieplnej "PIECOSERWIS" Sp. z o.o. uses cookies and other tracking technologies to enhance our understanding of how users interact with our websites ("Sites") and to improve the quality of your online experience with us. This Cookie Usage Policy provides information about these technologies and how they are managed.
1. Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies: Definition
A "cookie" is a text file, constituting data, sent by a website to the visitor's computer or another device connected to the Internet to identify the visitor's browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A cookie typically contains the domain name from which it was sent, the cookie's "lifetime," and a randomly generated unique number or another variable.
We may use other technologies, including web beacons and JavaScript, which in some cases work with cookies and other tools on our Sites and Mobile Applications to identify your device. These other technologies enable specific features on our Sites and Mobile Applications. We may also use certain technologies to determine if you have opened an email or clicked on a link within it.
The Sites use so-called "first-party cookies" (sent to your device from a domain managed by us) and "third-party cookies" (cookies sent to your device from a domain managed by a third party, which processes data obtained through cookies). If cookies are installed from a domain we manage, but the information gathered is processed by a third party, these are not considered our cookies.
Cookies identify your browser and enhance the performance of the Site. Cookies can make using the Site easier by, for example, saving your preferences when you return to the Site. We do not use cookies to obtain personal information from your computer that was not sent via the cookie.
Cookies can be divided into those necessary for using the Site's services (essential cookies) and those used for functional, analytical (including site statistics), and marketing purposes.
The Sites use all the above-mentioned cookies.
You can disable cookie functionality by adjusting your web browser settings, though this may result in losing access to some of the Site's features.
2. How We Use Cookies
When using our online services, both we and other entities (such as our advertising networks) may collect information about users, including their browsing behavior, time spent online, and use of third-party websites. We use cookies for various purposes. For example, we monitor the total number of visitors to our Sites—on an anonymous and aggregated basis. We may also use cookies to remember you when you revisit the Sites.
Tracking technologies may be persistent (i.e., files remain on your computer or device until you delete them) or session-based (i.e., files remain only until you close your browser).
Our Sites specifically use the following types of cookies:
- Essential cookies: These are cookies necessary for providing services and enabling the functionalities you explicitly request. We may use cookies and tracking technologies to prevent abuse, enhance security, manage systems, or enable payment functions. We are not required to obtain your consent for absolutely essential cookies.
- Preference cookies: These cookies allow the Sites to remember information that changes their appearance or functionality, such as your preferred language or region.
- Analytical cookies: These cookies are used to analyze and assess performance. We may use cookies to evaluate our Sites' performance, including conducting analytics to improve the content offered through the Sites.
- Marketing cookies: We and external advertisers may use cookies to present you with the most relevant products, offers, and advertisements. Marketing cookies also allow us to provide personalized content on the Sites tailored to your interests.
