Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website operators. This policy explains which cookies hesuli.info uses, what each one does, and how you can control them.

Our use of cookies is governed by the requirements of the EU ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC as amended by 2009/136/EC), implemented in Poland through the Telecommunications Law (Prawo telekomunikacyjne), and the GDPR requirements that apply to cookie-related personal data processing. For cookies that involve processing personal data, the lawful basis under Article 6 of the GDPR is your consent (Article 6(1)(a)), except for strictly necessary cookies which are processed on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating the site (Article 6(1)(f)).

We ask for your cookie preferences when you first visit the site, through the banner that appears at the top of the page. Your choices are stored in a cookie named "hsl_consent" so that we can remember your preferences on future visits. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings option.

We use four categories of cookies on this website. The first is strictly necessary cookies. These are essential for the site to function and cannot be disabled. They include the cookie that stores your consent preferences (hsl_consent), session management cookies, and security-related cookies. No consent is required for these because they are necessary for the service you have explicitly requested.

The second category is analytics cookies. These help us understand how visitors interact with the site — which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and whether they encounter any errors. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors. Analytics cookies are set only if you have given consent. If you decline analytics cookies, the site continues to function normally but we have less information about how it is being used.

The third category is marketing cookies. These may be used to track the effectiveness of content and to understand whether visitors found the site through particular channels. Marketing cookies are set only with your explicit consent and can be declined without affecting your experience of the site's content.

The fourth category, which we refer to as preference cookies, may be used to remember choices you make — such as language settings or display preferences. These are functional in nature and are set only when you have made a relevant choice on the site.

You have several ways to manage cookies. The most direct is through our consent banner, which appears on your first visit and allows you to accept all, reject all, or customize by category. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific sites or from all sites. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect how this site and other websites function. Information about managing cookies in common browsers is available from the browser developers' help pages.

For residents of Poland and the EU, the right to withdraw consent applies to all consent-based cookies. Withdrawing consent does not affect any processing that took place while consent was active. To withdraw, simply return to the cookie settings and update your preferences. The change takes effect immediately for new cookies, though cookies already placed may remain on your device until they expire or are deleted manually.

If you have questions about our cookie practices or wish to make a complaint about how we handle cookie consent, contact us at [email protected]. You may also contact the Polish supervisory authority, UODO, at uodo.gov.pl.

We review this Cookie Policy periodically and update it when our practices change or when relevant laws or guidance are updated. The "Last Updated" date at the top reflects when this version was published.
