What are cookies?

As is common practice with almost all professional websites, this website uses cookies. Cookies are small information files installed in the user's browser and stored on their computer when they visit a website.

The cookies are used to enhance the users’ experience, to gather, collect and store information in the context of the use of IDS websites. Each user is assigned an individual cookie, thus ensuring privacy and data security.

In addition, some cookies eliminate the need to enter the same information repeatedly (e.g., to remember your account login details).

How do we use cookies?

When you visit our website, cookies are hosted on your device (computer, tablet or mobile phone) in order to improve the browsing experience so that it meets the user's needs.

Currently, we use the following cookies:

• Functional cookies;
• Ensure good website connectivity;
• Monitoring data resulting from the links;
• Maintain consistency of the website's graphics;
• Advertising Cookies;
• Display and highlight marketing advertisements;

We use cookies for several reasons, outlined below. Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to this website. If you are not sure whether you need them, if they are used to provide a service that you access it is recommended that you leave all cookies.

Depending on their functions, cookies are classified into categories:

• Absolutely necessary cookies

The following cookies categories are used by IDS websites and do not require previous consent for their provision.

1. Absolutely necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the user to be able to browse the website, use its features and use the services available on our website. Without these cookies certain services cannot be provided.

2.  Analytics Cookies

These cookies gather information on how the users navigate the website and collect information about how our visitors use the website. For example, they enable us to count the visits and traffic sources so that we can track and improve the performance of the website. They help us to improve and understand which pages are the most and the least popular and to observe the user’s behaviour on our website.

All the information gathered by these cookies is aggregated and, therefore, anonymous.
