2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or phone. Similar technologies, such as local storage or pixels, work in a comparable way. Some cookies are needed for the website to work; others are used to measure how the site is used or to process payments. Under EU and Polish law we may store or read information on your device without asking only where it is strictly necessary to provide a service you have asked for. Everything else requires your consent.

Google Analytics runs when you visit this website. We are introducing a cookie banner that will let you accept or reject analytics cookies before any are set. Until it is in place, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about you with Google’s opt-out browser add-on, or by blocking or deleting cookies in your browser (section 6). The website works normally either way.
