This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Xikowu Vuyotu uses them on this website, and the choices available to you. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides broader context on how we handle personal data. Our use of cookies is governed by the requirements of Polish telecommunications law (Ustawa z dnia 16 lipca 2004 r. Prawo telekomunikacyjne) and the GDPR, which together require that non-essential cookies are only placed with your informed, freely given, and specific consent.
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. They serve a range of purposes: some are essential for the website to function at all, while others collect information about how you use the site, and others are used to serve content relevant to your interests. Cookies are not programs and cannot access other files on your device. They can be read only by the website that set them, or in the case of third-party cookies, by the third party that placed them.
Categories of cookies we use
We use three categories of cookies on this website. The first category is strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for the website to operate and cannot be switched off in our systems. They include cookies used to manage your session, remember your cookie consent preferences (stored under the name xkv_consent), and maintain basic security functions. Because these cookies are necessary, they do not require your consent under applicable Polish law.
The second category is analytics cookies. These cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors interact with the website — which pages are visited most often, how long visitors spend on different sections, and where they arrive from. The information collected is aggregated and does not identify individual users. We use this information solely to improve the website. Analytics cookies are only placed if you give your consent through our cookie consent tool.
The third category is marketing cookies. These cookies may be used to deliver content that is more relevant to your interests and to understand the effectiveness of information reaching users through various channels. Marketing cookies are only placed with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent at any time by revisiting the cookie preferences tool accessible from the footer of this page.
Cookie lifespans
Strictly necessary cookies used for session management are typically session cookies, meaning they expire when you close your browser. The consent preference cookie (xkv_consent) is stored for twelve months. Analytics cookies typically expire within thirteen months. Marketing cookies may have varying lifespans depending on the tool used; where third-party marketing tools are employed, the third party's cookie policy will also apply. We review the cookies in use on this website periodically and update this policy when changes occur.
Managing your cookie preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie consent banner that appears on your first visit to the site. If you have already made a choice and wish to change it, you can clear your browser cookies and revisit the site, which will cause the consent banner to appear again. You can also control cookies through your browser settings — most browsers allow you to see what cookies have been set and to delete them individually or in bulk. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers can be found at the browser's support pages.
For further information about cookies and your rights in relation to them, you may consult the website of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO) at uodo.gov.pl, or the European Data Protection Board at edpb.europa.eu. Questions about our specific use of cookies can be directed to [email protected].
