They can be used by the Controller \u2013 in such a case they are installed directly by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbkm.pl\/\"><span class=\"s1\">www.pbkm.pl<\/span><\/a> website, as well as by the Controller\u2019s partners (e.g.\u00a0Google) \u2013 in this case, the cookies originate from a different website than the one visited by the user.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Cookies store information that is created in cooperation with the user\u2019s terminal device. The cookies used on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbkm.pl\/\"><span class=\"s1\">www.pbkm.pl<\/span><\/a> website are primarily used to ensure the proper functioning of the site, including maintaining a login session. If the user grants separate consents to the installation of other cookies, they will also be used for the purpose of adjusting the website, analytical and marketing settings. Detailed information on the cookies used is presented by the Controller below. The section <b>\u201cBlocking or limiting cookies by the user\u201d<\/b> provides information on the cookie settings management options.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbkm.pl\/\"><span class=\"s1\">www.pbkm.pl<\/span><\/a> website, the Controller uses the following categories of cookies: essential, preferences, statistics and marketing.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\">The Controller uses essential cookies in order to provide the user with access to the content and functions available on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pbkm.pl\"><span class=\"s1\">www.pbkm.pl<\/span><\/a> website, including those necessary for the proper functioning of the website. The legal basis for the processing of the user\u2019s personal data consists in this being necessary for the performance of a contract regarding the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbkm.pl\/\"><span class=\"s1\">www.pbkm.pl<\/span><\/a> (Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR). Essential cookies can be installed via the website by the Controller.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Preference cookies are used by the Controller to save settings that adjust the www.pbkm.pl website to the user\u2019s preferences (e.g. language selection) and personalize the functions used by the user. In order to use them, the user\u2019s prior consent is required. The user can consent to the use of preference cookies via the cookie banner available at www.pbkm.pl; they can also withdraw their consent at any time in the same way. Preference cookies can be used both by the Controller and by their trusted partners. The legal basis for the processing of the user\u2019s personal data is the legitimate interest of the Controller (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), consisting in improving the quality of the service provided, which consists in providing access to the www.pbkm.pl website, based on the user\u2019s consent.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Statistics cookies are used by the Controller to understand how the user uses the website, including where the traffic comes from and what content is visited most often. Using these files makes it possible to carry out statistical analyses, e.g. regarding the number of visits to the website, which allows for its improvement and the introduction of new functions. Using these files requires prior consent of the user. The user can consent to the use of statistics cookies via the cookie banner available at www.pbkm.pl; they can also withdraw their consent at any time in the same way. Statistics cookies can be used by both the Controller and their trusted partners. The legal basis for the processing of users\u2019 personal data is the legitimate interest of the Controller (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), consisting in improving the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pbkm.pl\"><span class=\"s1\">www.pbkm.pl<\/span><\/a> website on the basis of analyses of users\u2019 activity in connection with their consent.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Marketing cookies are used to display advertisements tailored to the user\u2019s preferences. The purpose of collecting user information using these cookies is to personalize advertisements, measure their effectiveness and conduct marketing campaigns, including on external websites. The legal basis for the processing of personal data is the legitimate interest of the Controller (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR), consisting in providing information promoting the Controller\u2019s services and creating content dedicated to the user, based on the consent expressed by the user.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">Detailed information on the individual cookies used within a given category (including the name, purpose of their use and validity period) is available to the user by clicking on the \u201cCookie Settings\u201d button located in the footer of the www.pbkm.pl website. After clicking the button, the user will see a cookie banner displayed in the www.pbkm.pl website window, and then they should select and expand the category of cookies they are interested in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">In order to use preference, statistics and marketing cookies, the user must grant separate consents. User\u2019s consent is not required only for cookies that are essential to provision of the service involving access to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pbkm.pl\"><span class=\"s1\">www.pbkm.pl<\/span><\/a> website.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Without using these cookies, the Controller cannot provide the service consisting in granting access to the website.
