Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when browsing websites. They allow websites to recognize your device, preserve preferences (such as your chosen language), and safeguard security and user sessions. In addition to traditional cookies, the site may utilize web browser Local Storage, which operates similarly by preserving configuration states client-side without sending data to servers on every single network request.

Cookie processing is strictly aligned with European and Slovak regulations: • Act No. 452/2021 Coll. on Electronic Communications (§ 109 para. 8). • Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (ePrivacy Directive). • Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on General Data Protection (GDPR). Under applicable statutes: 1. Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential to deliver the information society service explicitly requested by you. These do not require prior consent. 2. Optional Cookies (Analytics & Performance): Can only be placed on your terminal equipment following prior, informed, and freely given consent (opt-in).

We categorize cookies into the following functional tiers: • Strictly Necessary Cookies: Provide core functionality including security checks, cookie preference tracking, and admin authentication. The site cannot function without them, hence they cannot be disabled. • Functional & Preference Cookies: Remember interface settings such as your selected language (SK/EN) so you do not have to reconfigure them each visit. • Analytical & Statistical Cookies: Help us understand user navigation patterns and load-time bottlenecks via Google Analytics 4 (with IP anonymization active). Set solely with your consent. • Affiliate Parameters: When navigating via an external partner link to a P2P platform, an anonymous referral tracking tag may be registered to credit commissions. We do not place invasive third-party ad network tracking.

The table below provides a full inventory of the cookies used, their owners, operational category, purpose, and expiration timeline.

You maintain complete authority over cookie permissions on your machine: 1. On this website: You can click the 'Manage Cookie Preferences' button anytime to reset your consent. 2. In your web browser: All modern browsers allow you to inspect, manage, or purge stored cookies. Follow official browser instructions: • Google Chrome: Settings -> Privacy and security -> Third-party cookies • Mozilla Firefox: Options -> Privacy & Security -> Cookies and Site Data • Apple Safari: Preferences -> Privacy -> Manage Website Data • Microsoft Edge: Settings -> Cookies and site permissions Please note: Disabling strictly necessary cookies in your browser settings may cause portions of the site to fail or render improperly.

Where analytics cookies are authorized, aggregated traffic metrics are processed by Google Ireland Limited (EU) and may be transferred to Google LLC facilities in the United States. Such transfers comply with the European Commission adequacy decision under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect technical iterations or regulatory updates. The effective date is displayed in the document header. For questions, contact info@crowdiz.com.
