Cookie Policy

Gromadan uses cookies and similar technical technologies to operate the site, remember user preferences, enhance security, analyze platform usage, and, depending on the services used and consent settings, serve and measure advertising.

This Policy explains what cookies are, the purposes for which they may be used on Gromadan, and what control options are available to users.

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small pieces of data that a site or a third-party service may store in a user’s browser.

They allow the site to, for example:

• recognize the user’s current session;
• store settings;
• enable authorization;
• remember the selected language;
• ensure security;
• analyze site usage;
• provide certain features and services.

In addition to standard cookies, similar technologies may be used, including browser local storage, pixels, web beacons, and other technical identifiers.

2. What categories of technologies Gromadan may use

Depending on the site features and connected services in use, technologies may fall into the following categories.

2.1. Necessary cookies

These technologies are necessary for the core features of the site to function properly.

They may be used for:

• authorization;
• maintaining the user session;
• ensuring security;
• protecting against abuse;
• storing technical settings;
• the operation of forms;
• determining the interface language;
• other functions without which the site or certain parts of it would not work properly.

Such cookies are not used solely for advertising profiling of the user.

2.2. Preference cookies

May be used to store the settings selected by the user, such as:

• language;
• interface parameters;
• display settings;
• other preferences.

If the user deletes such cookies, some settings may need to be selected again.

2.3. Analytics technologies

If Gromadan has analytics services connected, they may use cookies or similar technologies to obtain statistical information about site visits.

Such data may be used to:

• count visits;
• analyze how pages are used;
• detect technical issues;
• evaluate the performance of specific features;
• improve the interface;
• analyze content effectiveness.

When a third-party analytics service is used, the relevant processing is also governed by that service’s own privacy policy.

2.4. Advertising technologies

If advertising is displayed on Gromadan, advertising and technology partners may use cookies, local storage, pixels, an IP address, and other identifiers to:

• serve advertising;
• limit the number of impressions;
• measure advertising effectiveness;
• prevent fraud;
• generate reporting;
• personalize advertising, where such personalization is permitted and the necessary consent has been given.

The specific set of advertising technologies may change depending on the advertising partners connected to Gromadan.

3. Gromadan cookies and third-party service cookies

Some cookies are set directly by Gromadan.

Others may be set by third-party providers whose services are used on the site.

Depending on Gromadan’s current configuration, such providers may include:

• analytics services;
• advertising platforms;
• security services;
• CDN and infrastructure services;
• other technical providers.

Third-party providers may process technical information in accordance with their own privacy policies.

4. Google and advertising technologies

If Gromadan uses Google AdSense or other Google advertising products, Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies in connection with serving, measuring, and personalizing advertising.

Such technologies may use, among other things:

• cookies;
• an IP address;
• web beacons;
• local storage;
• other identifiers.

Google requires publishers to inform users about such data use and the related technologies.

Google’s ad settings may allow the user to manage ad personalization in accordance with the settings Google makes available.

5. Consent to the use of cookies

Depending on the user’s country, the type of cookie, and applicable law, the use of certain categories of cookies may require the user’s prior consent.

Where such consent is required, Gromadan provides an appropriate choice mechanism.

The user may:

• consent to the use of the relevant technologies;
• decline categories for which consent is not mandatory for the site to function;
• change their choice later, where the relevant feature is available.

Technologies necessary for the site to function may be used in cases where this is permitted by applicable law without separate consent.

6. Users from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland

For users from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, additional consent requirements may apply when Google advertising products are used.

Google states that publishers must obtain legally valid user consent where required, in particular for storing or accessing information on a device and for using personalized advertising. For relevant advertising scenarios, Google also imposes requirements for certified consent management mechanisms.

Gromadan may use a Consent Management Platform (CMP) that allows the user to make the relevant choice.

7. How to change your cookie settings

The user can manage cookies in several ways.

Through Gromadan settings

If a consent management panel is available on the site, the user can open it and change previously selected settings.

Through the browser

Most modern browsers allow users to:

• block cookies;
• delete stored cookies;
• allow cookies only for specific sites;
• block third-party cookies.

These settings are located in the privacy or security section of the relevant browser.

Note that fully disabling cookies may cause authorization, language settings, and other Gromadan features to stop working correctly.

8. Deleting cookies

The user can delete stored cookies in their browser settings.

After deletion, some site settings may be reset, and the user may need to log in to their account again or re-select their preferences.

Deleting cookies in the browser does not necessarily delete information that has already been processed by a third-party service or stored on a server.

9. Cookie duration

The duration depends on the specific cookie and its purpose.

Some cookies exist only for the duration of the current browser session and are deleted once it ends.

Others may remain in the browser for a certain period to preserve settings or perform other functions.

The duration of individual cookies may change if Gromadan’s technical configuration or the third-party services used change.

10. Security

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to protect accounts and prevent abuse.

However, the user should keep in mind that the security of their browser and device also depends on their own settings and software.

Login credentials and other confidential information should not be shared with third parties.

11. Relationship to the Privacy Policy

The use of cookies and similar technologies may be related to the processing of personal data.

More detailed information about what personal data Gromadan may process, for what purposes, to whom it may be shared, and what rights the user has is provided in the Privacy Policy.

12. Changes to this Cookie Policy

Gromadan may update this Policy due to:

• changes to site features;
• connecting or disconnecting third-party services;
• changes to advertising technologies;
• changes in the law;
• changes to the cookies or similar technologies used.
