Cookies usually contain the name of the domain from which they originate, the storage time on the Device, and the assigned value.

2. The Controller uses two types of cookie files:

a) session cookies: these are data necessary to maintain the session during the current activities of the Website Users. They are stored on the User’s Device and remain there until the end of a given browser session. The stored information is then permanently deleted from the Device memory. The mechanism of session cookies does not permit processing any personal User data or any confidential information from the User’s Device.
b) persistent cookies: this is information stored on the User’s Device between the User’s visits to the website. They remain there until they are deleted. Ending the given browser session or switching off the Device does not cause their deletion from the User’s Device. The mechanism of persistent cookies does not permit processing any personal User data or any confidential information from the device used by the User.
