2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit them.

Cookies can be used for different purposes, including enabling essential website functionality, remembering preferences, improving security and, where applicable, measuring website usage.

Cookies may be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

Cookies can also be:

First-party cookies - set directly by koleff.com. Third-party cookies - set by external services integrated into the website.

These are standard distinctions used for cookies and similar technologies.

3. How We Use Cookies

Koleff.com may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• ensure the website functions correctly;
• maintain website security;
• remember user preferences;
• improve website performance and usability;
• understand how visitors interact with the website, where analytics services are used;
• support external or embedded services, where applicable.

The cookies actually used may change when website functionality or third-party services are added, removed or updated.

4. Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the website or a service explicitly requested by the visitor to function properly.

They may be used for purposes such as:

• website security;
• session management;
• load balancing;
• storing privacy or cookie preferences;
• processing information submitted through website forms;
• providing functionality specifically requested by the visitor.

These cookies generally do not require prior consent where they are strictly necessary to provide the requested service. Disabling necessary cookies through your browser may cause some parts of the website to stop functioning correctly.

5. Analytics and Performance Cookies

Where used, analytics and performance technologies help us understand how visitors interact with the website, for example which pages are visited and how the website is used.

Where applicable law requires consent for these technologies, they will not be activated until the visitor has provided the required consent.

Visitors may refuse or withdraw such consent without losing access to the essential functionality of the website. EU guidance generally treats analytics cookies as requiring prior consent unless a specific exemption applies.

6. Marketing and Advertising Cookies

If koleff.com uses advertising, remarketing or similar tracking technologies, these may be used to measure advertising effectiveness or understand interactions with marketing campaigns.

Such technologies may involve third-party providers.

Where consent is legally required, marketing and advertising cookies will not be activated before the visitor has provided consent.

Refusing these cookies will not prevent access to the core functionality of the website.

7. Third-Party Services

Some website functionality may be provided through external services.

Depending on the services used on koleff.com, third parties may place or access cookies or similar technologies on the visitor's device.

Where these technologies are not strictly necessary and require consent under applicable law, they will only be activated after the visitor has provided the required consent.

Third-party providers are responsible for their own processing activities in accordance with their respective privacy and cookie policies.

8. Cookie Consent

Where koleff.com uses cookies or similar technologies requiring consent, visitors will be provided with appropriate information and the ability to make a choice before those technologies are activated.

Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and expressed through a clear affirmative action.

Where applicable, visitors should be able to:

• Accept optional cookies;
• Reject optional cookies;
• Manage preferences by category.

Refusing optional cookies does not prevent the use of cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to operate.

9. Changing or Withdrawing Your Consent

Where processing is based on consent, you may change or withdraw your consent at any time.

Withdrawing consent must be as easy as giving it.

Where a cookie preference mechanism is provided on koleff.com, you can use it to review or change your choices.

You may also delete existing cookies or control their use through your web browser.

Please note that blocking all cookies through your browser may affect the functionality of certain parts of the website.

The exact procedure depends on the browser and device you use. These controls are normally available under the browser's privacy, security or site-data settings.
